When you think of “dads” you probably think of two things: burgers, and golf. Or at least, that’s what I think of when I think of a cartoon father from like, Marmaduke or something. But at the same time, that’s the stereotypical take on “Dad.” And Arby’s is leaning into that, combining those two iconic dad pastimes into one limited-edition item: a golf club shaped like half a burger.
“Arby’s Burger Driver was made for our fans who love golfing almost as much as they love a juicy burger,” said Ellen Rose, Arby’s Chief Marketing Officer, via a press release provided to Guilty Eats. “We know that our burgers have what it takes to drive away the competition and put a little sizzle in fans’ golf swings, and now we can’t wait to see our new Burger Driver add some extra flavor to the fairway!”
While this item is less Guilty Eats than a Golfy Eats (can we reserve that domain name? Thanks), Arby’s is also pushing their actual, edible burgers on the menu as well. The chain has an Arby’s Deluxe Burger, and a Big Cheese Bacon Burger, both for a limited time. The Deluxe comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, special sauce on a brioche bun; while the other burger comes with six pieces of bacon, American and Swiss cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and burger sauce. The Deluxe starts at $6.99, the Bacon Burger at $7.99, and neither are appropriate to hit golf balls with.
If you want to get the burgers, they’re available nationwide at Arby’s for the aforementioned limited time. The golf club isn’t available for sale, though. Instead, fans of Arby’s – and dads – can sign up to win the Arby’s Burger Driver now until 11:59 pm ET on June 9, 2024. You can enter at arbysburgerdriver.com. No purchase is necessary, and it’s a pretty quick form to fill out with your address and info, in case you win.
