The promotional giveaway will take place Wednesday, July 15, 2026 after 11am when the brand will be giving the first 100 guests the chance to get their hands on the collectible duck simply by purchasing a large or extra-large drink. The duck features a Camp Scooter's shirt and a purple bucket hat, but each location will have one donning a red hat that will reward the recipient with 400 bonus Smiles ready to be redeemed for almost anything on the menu.
