Mad Mex is running a competition


Popular Mexican franchise, Mad Mex has announced the return of its infamous 1kg Big Burrito from 11th June – 21st July – and to celebrate, it’s partnered with cult water brand, Liquid Death to bring customers a combo that promises to kill their hunger and murder their thirst.

In its 14th year, the Big Burrito will be back on menus in a big way. Not only does the iconic double-sized burrito come with a FREE can of Liquid Death, but it also comes with a warning that will scare even the most daring burrito lovers.

Washing down a 1kg burrito with 500ml of thirst-killing water is no easy feat, and the Mexican restaurant is taking the possibility of a permanent food coma seriously by offering a promotion a plot twist of a promotion. Anyone daring enough to take on the challenge will go in the running to win a grand prize to die for - a foot (and body) in the door of the Australian property market... a place to set up roots... prime real estate in the dead centre of town...

Your own personal plot of land. In a cemetery.

Every property empire started somewhere so this hallowed piece of dirt could be just the beginning. While Aussie property prices soar and cost of living grows more expensive than ever, it’s nice to know that you could have a plot of land you can eventually call home.

To enter, customers just need to purchase a Big Burrito combo and write the inscription for their own tombstone or for a mate who valiantly tried and failed to complete the Big Burrito and Liquid Death challenge. The winner, who will be announced on 1 August will then become the proud owner of a burial plot – it’s safe to say your future is set in stone.

From just $25.95, the Big Burrito and Liquid Death combo will be available across Mad Mex stores nationally or via delivery from Uber Eats or the Mad Mex app until 21 July. For full details, visit madmex.com.au/bigburritoBurrito.
