There’s something special about enjoying a BBQ-smothered meal in the summertime—the smoky flavors, the tangy sauce, and the joy of eating outdoors. However, with all that deliciousness comes the unavoidable mess. Stained clothing can be a bit of a hassle, but it’s a small price to pay for savoring those juicy bites. Plus, it adds to the fun and carefree spirit of summer. A little or even a lot of BBQ sauce on your shirt is just a sign that you truly enjoyed your meal.
Which is why this collab announcement comes as great news. Shake Shack’s BBQ Menu is still available, and the brand has teamed up with Tide Cleaners to help fans continue to enjoy Shake Shack’s limited-time BBQ burgers without the need to worry about sauce stains. How, you ask? With complimentary dry cleaning, of course!
Ongoing until July 31, guests are encouraged to show off their BBQ mishaps by snapping a pic of their Shake Shack burger (or their BBQ stain!) and upload it to the Shake Shack website. The first 2,500 participants will get a free dry cleaning voucher, valid at all Tide Cleaners locations nationwide. So, just let loose as you sink your teeth into a classic BBQ Burger.

More Than Burgers and BBQ Sauce
While this team up between Shake Shack and Tide Cleaners might feel like a mismatch, it’s actually more than just a curious title. As part of the collab, Shake Shack is donating $25,000 to Tide Loads of Hope, a community program where the popular detergent brand sends laundry trucks to disaster areas to offer free laundry services, providing clean clothes when people need them the most. Tide Loads of Hope first began in 2005 to support those who were devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
Remember, Shake Shack fans are invited to share their BBQ messes by taking a photo of their burger or their BBQ stain and uploading it to shakeshack.com/sauce-insurance until July 31. The first 2,500 participants will receive a free dry cleaning voucher for any Tide Cleaners outlet, nationwide. Go ahead and enjoy every bite of that delicious BBQ Burger!

From The Club
At first glance, this appears like the strangest partnership ever but it does make sense when you really think about it. However, I’m usually not one to spill sauces on my clothes as I always try my best to eat neatly, especially with BBQ sauce. But it’s good to know that this is not just a gimmick but an actual collab that makes a difference. And I have to say, Tide’s Loads of Hope initiative is such a unique way to help the community. I would imagine that for those affected by natural disasters like fires, floods, or hurricanes, getting their laundry done probably isn’t the first thing on their minds. But here’s Tide thinking of something we didn’t even know we needed. That’s pretty cool.
