McDonald's Bob's Burgers TikTok: @xanxotic

There has been a video circulating around TikTok featuring a McDonald’s burger, packaged inside a box featuring a design representing the popular cartoon, Bob’s Burgers. But is it real?

TikTok went into a frenzy after a user on the platform who goes by the name, Xan, featured a short clip where they showed an image of a McDonald’s box, with images of characters from the popular cartoon Bob’s Burgers adorning it.

On the box, we can see writing which reads: ‘Big Mac x Bob’s Burgers.’ In the video, Xan can be heard saying: “Well I’m driving over now to get my Bob’s Burger Big Mac, I’m so excited.”

In the next video, he can be seen pulling into the McDonald’s drive-thru, and asking the worker if they have a Bob’s Burger Big Mac.

Then it cuts to him with a brown McDonald’s paper bag, pulling out a series of Bob’s Burger merch, including a keychain, and a pack of cards.

Is the Bob’s Burger collab real?

After the video was posted on the platform, it quickly went viral, with people eager to find out whether or not the Bob’s Burger collab was real.

“Is something different?” one asked about the burger itself, “Or are we excited for the packaging?”

Many claimed that they’d actually ordered the limited edition items themselves, writing: “I got one today! Was the last one they had.”

“I have yet to see this at McDonald’s. Where are they? In which state?” another asked.

However, it turns out that Xan had everyone fooled, and it’s not actually a real item. As one eagle-eyed fan pointed out: “Am I the only one seeing the words underneath the limited time? That says ‘Not a Real Promotion.’”

It seems that they were right, and the promotion was indeed, fake, as the creator replied saying: “One other person has seen it. Proud of you for paying attention lol.”
