Product Feature: Meat our NEW Burger!!!

THE AUSSIE BURGER WITH THE LOT, NOW EVEN MORE ICONIC

There are burgers… and then there’s the true blue Aussie burger with the lot. The kind wrapped in paper from the local milk bar. The kind dripping with sauce, stacked way too high, and somehow always including beetroot (because obviously).

Well… we turned that memory into a toy.

Say hello to our NEW & IMPROVED Iconic Aussie Stacking Burger, a playful wooden toy inspired by one of Australia’s most loved comfort foods. Designed for little foodies, mini chefs, café owners-in-training and nostalgic grown-ups who still believe pineapple belongs on a burger (it does), this stackable beauty is packed with personality, colour and imaginative fun.

And yep… it’s had a few juicy upgrades we think you’ll love.

WHY WE CREATED THE ICONIC STACKING BURGER

At Make Me Iconic, we’ve always loved celebrating the unsung icons of Aussie life. The things that instantly transport you home. A tram rattles down the street. A sausage sizzle outside Bunnings. Fairy bread at birthday parties.

And of course… an Aussie burger.

Not the fancy tiny burgers with truffle aioli. We mean the BIG ones. The messy ones. The “how do I even fit this in my mouth?” ones. The kind stacked with beetroot, pineapple, bacon, egg and dripping BBQ sauce.

Our Iconic Aussie Stacking Burger was created to bring that playful Aussie nostalgia into homes and playrooms transforming an everyday icon into a keepsake wooden toy kids can stack, build, pull apart and proudly serve up again and again. Because imaginative play should feel familiar, meaningful and a little bit delicious.

WHAT’S NEW IN OUR UPDATED STACKING BURGER?

We’ve taken one of our bestselling toys and given it a tasty little refresh.

The new version includes:

• brighter colours
• updated burger ingredients
• improved stacking functionality
• playful burger flag toppers
• chunky wooden pieces for little hands
• better balance for taller burger creations
• fresh new packaging we’re pretty chuffed about

And yes… the beetroot is still there. Because removing beetroot from an Aussie burger would honestly be illegal.

A BURGER STACKED WITH AUSSIE ICONS

Our burger isn’t just any burger. It’s unmistakably Australian.

A typical Aussie burger might include slices of sweet beetroot, zesty pineapple and even a fried egg balanced precariously on top. Weird? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely.

Here’s what makes our burger proudly Aussie:

BURGER BUN - A soft, pillowy bun with sesame seeds, sturdy enough to hold all the goodness together.

LETTUCE - A crunchy layer for that fresh burger feeling.

ONION - Raw or golden brown… We’ll let the tiny chef decide.

PINEAPPLE - The controversial Aussie burger hero. Sweet, juicy and iconic.

SAUCE - Dark, smoky BBQ-style goodness. No dry burgers here.

BEETROOT - The ultimate Aussie burger ingredient. Sweet, messy and wonderfully nostalgic.

BACON - Because salty + sweet = happiness.

TOMATO - Some people love it. Some remove it immediately. We support both choices.

EGG - A proper Aussie “burger with the lot” needs a fried egg. Preferably with a runny yolk situation.

CHEESE - Melted cheddar-style deliciousness.

BEEF PATTY - The glorious foundation holding the entire tower together.

MORE THAN JUST A TOY BURGER

Sure, it looks cute sitting on a shelf… but this burger was designed for play.

Our Iconic Aussie Stacking Burger helps encourage:

FINE MOTOR SKILLS - Stacking and balancing the ingredients helps little hands build coordination and control.

OPEN-ENDED PLAY - Kids can build burgers their own way — upside down, super tall, completely ridiculous… there are no rules here.

IMAGINATION & STORYTELLING - One minute it’s a burger shop. Next minute it’s a backyard BBQ. Then suddenly your child is running an entire café empire from the living room.

SOCIAL PLAY - Perfect for sharing, role-playing and taking imaginary burger orders from siblings, parents and teddy bears.

EARLY LEARNING - Sorting colours, recognising foods, sequencing layers and practising communication all happen naturally through play.

DESIGNED TO LAST AND LAST… AND LAST

Unlike plastic toys that crack, fade or disappear under the couch forever, our wooden toys are made to stick around.

The Iconic Stacking Burger is crafted from quality wood with non-toxic paints and durable finishes designed for years of imaginative play. It’s the kind of toy that gets passed from sibling to sibling… and still looks cute styled on a shelf afterwards.

We believe good toys should feel beautiful, meaningful and timeless.

Not disposable.

PLAY THAT FEELS A LITTLE NOSTALGIC

There’s something really lovely about watching kids play with toys inspired by the same foods and memories we grew up with.

Parents instantly recognise the burger ingredients. Grandparents laugh about pineapple on burgers. Kids proudly stack towering creations while shouting “extra beetroot!”

It becomes more than a toy.
It becomes storytelling.

That’s the magic we love most.
