Which 1970s McDonald’s mascot had a Big Mac-shaped head?

Officer Big Mac was the 1970s McDonald’s mascot with a Big Mac-shaped head.

Officer Big Mac belonged to the McDonaldland cast, where character designs often transformed menu items into visual features. His head resembled a Big Mac, while his name and uniform presented him as a police officer within the fictional community.

The character is frequently confused with Mayor McCheese because both were civic figures with food-based heads. Mayor McCheese had a cheeseburger-shaped head, whereas Officer Big Mac was specifically associated with the Big Mac.

McDonaldland advertising used these exaggerated designs to help children connect characters with recognizable menu products. The approach made individual items part of a larger branded world rather than presenting them only in ordinary product photography.
