Which 1970s McDonald’s mascot was depicted as a police officer pursuing the Hamburglar?

The story behind the answer

Officer Big Mac was the McDonaldland mascot depicted as a police officer pursuing the Hamburglar.

Officer Big Mac was designed as a personified Big Mac hamburger with a law-enforcement role. His character connected one of McDonald’s signature menu products with the playful fantasy world used in the company’s advertising. In the stories, he helped protect hamburgers from the Hamburglar’s schemes.

The character is sometimes confused with Mayor McCheese, another anthropomorphic food character. Mayor McCheese served as the fictional community’s civic leader, whereas Officer Big Mac had the police role. Both characters show how McDonald’s turned menu items and restaurant concepts into memorable branded figures.
