First-Taste Burger Boxes

McSpicy x Frank's RedHot Released "the Hottest Drop"

Leading up to the release of the limited-edition McSpicy x Frank's RedHot chicken burger, the collaborating companies gave fans the first chance to try "the hottest drop."

The campaign, brought to fruition by Leo Burnett in partnership with Red Consultancy, included social stunts, cryptic posters and in-restaurant radio releases. Fans eager for the first taste of the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot collab were invited to input the right password into a website to be the first to experience Frank’s RedHot Mayo added to the iconic McSpicy burger.

This drop culture-inspired campaign intentionally leveraged exclusivity to inspire fans to take on the role of sleuths and act fast.
