McDonald's is heaping on the beef with a sizzling new promotion that could land you free grub for a whole year. As part of the fanfare surrounding their revamped burger lineup, which they're touting as their "hottest, juiciest and tastiest classic burgers ever," the fast food giant has loosed their iconic mascot, the Hamburglar, across the nation in a zestful marketing campaign.
Driving a "Burgercuda," a custom-painted 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, he's been hitting the road luring customers into a playful game of catch and reward. If you happen to spy Hamburglar's decked-out ride, you can scan a code displayed on the vehicle to snag a McDonald’s gift card and exclusive merchandise, as reported by ABC15.
But even if this elusive character gives you the slip, all is not lost. Simply drop by the McDonald's website, fill out a form, and you’ll be in the running to scarf down free McDonald's for a year. This lavish prize will be dished out as gift cards valued at a grand total of $832, equivalent to the cost of two burgers weekly for 52 weeks, according to Don't Waste Your Money.
Not leaving aspiring Hamburglar spotters high and dry, McDonald's has dropped a few crumbs for those playing the burger bounty hunt. Described as an auto with "black and white stripes on the interior and exterior," a headrest emblazoned with his logo, it wouldn’t be unwise to also keep an eye out for the car's "bun-like" hubcaps and the cheeseburger-shaped spare tire, per ABC15. And if you're extremely fortunate, you might even get a glimpse of the secret burger warmer nestled in the center console. This quirky culinary crusade has a cutoff date, though – fans can cast their entries until February 25 to bite into this opportunity.
