If you like surprises, then you'll be excited to hear that [Burger King](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bk-advent-calendar) is mailing 'Mystery Boxes' to customers who order delivery now through February 4th. Even more mysterious, the new promotion appears to be linked to the Super Bowl.

As a teaser on [Burger Kings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-snack-box) YouTube channel suggests, the iconic burger chain is teaming up with [DoorDash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box-giveaway) for some kind of Super Bowl partnership. As part of the promotion, Burger King customers who place a DoorDash delivery order of $10 or more will be able to enter the code MYSTERYBOX. Burger King will then ship a Mystery Box straight to the customer's home with the appropriate instructions. While the contents remain unknown, Burger King states that the boxes are valued at about $30. As DoorDash Chief Operating Officer teases, "This limited-edition Mystery Box creates a unique, engaging and innovative experience, and we are excited to launch it nationwide for our customers."
