Outback Is Giving Away Free Bloomin’ Onions, Thanks To a New Netflix Murder Mystery

Outback Steakhouse is giving away free Bloomin’ Onions to celebrate the release of the new Netflix murder mystery, Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story. The restaurant chain is offering a free Bloomin’ Onion with any purchase from now until April 30th.

The movie follows the story of Cyntoia Brown, a woman who was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man who had bought her for sex when she was just 16 years old. After spending 15 years in prison, Brown was granted clemency in 2019.

Outback is offering the free Bloomin’ Onion in honor of Brown’s story and to celebrate her release. The restaurant chain is also donating $25,000 to the Women’s Prison Association, an organization that works to help women in prison and those who have been released.

So if you’re looking for a delicious way to celebrate Brown’s story, head to Outback and get your free Bloomin’ Onion. Just make sure to bring a friend, because you can’t eat a Bloomin’ Onion by yourself!

What do you get when you mix one of America’s largest steakhouse chains and the streaming giant Netflix? One onion-y partnership that could land you a free appetizer!

Outback Steakhouse, the home of the ever-popular Bloomin’ Onion, is helping the streaming service promote its highly-anticipated Knives Out sequel The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery by throwing its own onion into the mix.

Starting now until Dec. 25, you can earn a free Bloomin’ Onion at all Outback Steakhouse locations when you upload a video of the creative way you dispose of the receipt that includes a Bloomin’ Onion to BloominGlassOnion.com.

To redeem the free appetizer you must purchase an entree and use the code between Jan. 2 and Feb. 5, 2023.

The new movie, which had a limited release in theaters, lands on Netflix on Dec. 23.  The dark comedy, revolves around a billionaire’s exclusive group of friends being invited to his island to partake in a murder mystery game that turns frighteningly real. The movie is packed with star power from actors Daniel Craig,  Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, and Janelle Monáe.

The campaign is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the Aussie-themed steakhouse and Netflix. Danielle Vona, SVP, Chief Marketing Officer at Outback Steakhouse explains the unique collaboration: “It is in Bloomin’ Brands nature to bring consumers exciting and over-the-top experiences. Given that Glass Onion is a twist on the classic murder mystery film, in collaboration with Netflix we had ambitions to bring to life a partnership that would complement the film’s narratives of subverting expectations. Something different. Something unexpected. Something comedically dark.”

Sounds like something delicious too! We do recommend that you share the Bloomin’ Onion with a friend as it is, notoriously, one of the most caloric items on Outback’s menu at a whopping 1,950 per order.
