Hamburglar loves the new classic burgers

Last year, McDonald’s began rolling out their hottest, juiciest and tastiest classic burgers ever – with perfectly melted cheese, new soft, pillowy buns and a juicier flavor from adding white onions to the patties while they’re still on the grill. Those burgers are now available in all restaurants across the country.

“McDonald’s built a legacy on serving delicious burgers, but anytime we have an opportunity to make the best even better, we take it,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “It’s no surprise these changes caught the attention of our biggest burger fan – the Hamburglar. We’re excited for fans to join in on the fun as they look for him on his burger-stealing spree. You never know where he’ll pop up next.”

How to Spot the Burgercuda

The Burgercuda may help Hamburglar evade capture at the scene of his burger heists, but it also makes it easier than ever for fans to spot him. The custom car features:

  • Hamburglar’s iconic look: His signature black-and-white stripes are portrayed across the car’s interior and exterior, along with his logo on the headrests and red detailing throughout.
  • Burger-loving details: The getaway car features bun-like hubcaps, a spare tire disguised as a giant cheeseburger, and a hidden burger warmer in the center console to ensure his stash stays perfectly hot, juicy and tasty.
  • RBL RBL: Hamburglar’s signature catchphrase makes an appearance on the hood scoop and license plate.

*Available for a limited time, while supplies last.
