Which McDonald’s character was a police officer who chased the Hamburglar?

Officer Big Mac was the McDonaldland police officer who chased the Hamburglar.

Officer Big Mac was designed as a personification of a Big Mac hamburger, with a bun-shaped head and other visual features drawn from the sandwich. In McDonaldland stories, he served as a law-enforcement figure and helped protect the restaurant’s hamburgers from the Hamburglar.

The character belonged to the imaginative advertising world McDonald’s built around Ronald McDonald and a group of food-themed figures. These characters appeared in television commercials, print advertising, packaging, and promotional material, especially during the 1970s and 1980s.

Officer Big Mac is often confused with Mayor McCheese because both characters had hamburger-inspired heads and civic roles. Mayor McCheese was the town’s mayor, whereas Officer Big Mac functioned as its police officer. Captain Crook, another McDonaldland figure, was associated mainly with Filet-O-Fish sandwiches.
