Move over Hamburgler, Kaito McNugget is the new face of McDonald's Japan.

McDonald’s Japan will be giving away an 18-karat gold chicken McNugget that's worth about $2,000, through a social media contest to promote two new dipping sauces: a Creamy Cheddar Cheese Sauce and Fruits Curry Sauce.

Kaito McNugget, aka The Phantom Thief Nuggets, will be making appearances throughout the country. Players are encouraged to use the hashtag #怪盗ナゲッツ (which is “Kaito Nuggets” in Japanese) when they see him to unmask the villain.

 

THE ROB: Not only is Kaito McNugget better way better than Ronald McDonald, Kaito McNugget may be the GREATEST MASCOT OF ANYTHING EVER!!!  He's like the Hamburglar crossed with The Repo Man whom old fans of wrestling know.  That cheap-looking suit combined with the cheap-looking mask making foreign sounds I can't even begin to understand??  Sign me up!!
