Shake Shack giving away free sandwiches Monday based on length of Oscars telecast: What to know

Shake Shack is celebrating Hollywood’s biggest night by making fans winners, regardless of how long the televised Oscars ceremony lasts.

The fast food chain has crunched some numbers, deciding to offer customers nationwide a free bite on them if the Oscars runtime is longer or shorter than 3 hours and 31 minutes. 

Shake Shack has enlisted Known, a marketing agency that calculated the estimated duration of the awards ceremony based on “host, presentations, performances, advertisements,”  the company’s website reads. 

If the show runs over 3 hours and 31 minutes: Customers on Monday get a free Chicken Shack.

And if the Oscars come in under 3 hours and 31 minutes, customers can get a free SmokeShack Monday.

“Join us for an award-worthy guessing game during Hollywood’s Biggest Night! How long will Tinseltown's grandest spectacle last? Will it be an epic marathon or a swift sprint?”
