Which McDonald’s character was designed as a police officer in McDonaldland?

The story behind the answer

Officer Big Mac was designed as a police officer in McDonaldland.

Officer Big Mac was one of the fictional characters used in McDonald’s McDonaldland advertising. His appearance was based on the Big Mac hamburger, with a large sandwich-like head and a police-style uniform. The character helped turn a menu item into a recognizable personality within the brand’s fantasy world.

McDonaldland included many role-based characters. Mayor McCheese represented the town’s civic leader, Captain Crook was associated with Filet-O-Fish, and the Hamburglar was a mischievous hamburger thief. Officer Big Mac occupied the law-enforcement role.

Because the characters were often shown together, their occupations are easy to mix up. Officer Big Mac was not the mayor and did not represent a real police department. He was a fictional advertising mascot created for McDonald’s promotions.
