All 'Burgers' eat free at Smashburger

May 8, 2013

Smashburger will give away a free Classic Smash nationwide to anyone with the last name "Burger," or variations thereof on May 28, which is National Burger Day.

According to WhitePages.com, there are about 21,687 people in the United States with the last name "Burger" and 1,530 named "Hamburger." Either way, burger lovers with variations of "Burger" — or Berger, Weinberger, Rosenberger, etc. — in their names will receive one free Classic Smash in recognition of the holiday that celebrates America's favorite food, according to a company press release.

Proof of last name is required (i.e. valid driver's license, passport or picture ID).

"Burgers are an iconic American food. We've been eating them for generations and burgers are America's favorite food," said Tom Ryan, founder of Smashburger. "But just in the last five years or so, we have seen an explosion in people's interest to eat higher quality burgers than the typical fast food fare. And with the average person eating 43 hamburgers per year, there is cause for celebration of a national holiday or National Burger Day."
