Chick-Fil-A Shows Spirit With Chicken Sandwich Giveaway

YumSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 06:50:10 -0700

Yet another reason to love Labor Day? Free food. To commemorate its second annual Chick-fil-A Kickoff football game, which takes place Sept. 5, fast food chain Chick-fil-A is giving out free Original Chicken Sandwiches to any customer wearing sports-related apparel on Labor Day, Sept. 7, from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The promo, which takes place at Chick-fil-A locations nationwide, states that acceptable sports clothing includes any article or accessory with a sports team logo. Not a sports fan? There's still a way for you to score: Go to this spinoff website and sign up to receive a coupon for a free sandwich. If you're one of the first 250,000, you'll also land a coupon for a free Coke Zero.

I no longer live near a Chick-fil-A, but if I were nearby, I'd definitely be in for one of the chain's signature crispy chicken sandwiches. What about you?

YumSugar — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:04:53 -0700

To promote the start of college football season and the inaugural Chick-fil-A College Kickoff game, Chick-fil-A is giving away its new and improved (that is, larger) Chick-n-Strips for free on Labor Day, Sept.1.

The catch? While you don't have to get decked out in a cow suit, the deal only stands for customers who show up wearing football team attire. Wear any football team logo and get one free order of Chick-n-Strips (three count) anytime from 10:30 a.m. to close at participating locations.

Have you tasted the chicken from this cult favorite? Will you be trying to score some free chicken strips?

Would You Wear a Cow Suit to Score Free Food?

To celebrate cow appreciation day, the fast food chain Chick-fil-A is giving away free combo meals tomorrow. To score a free meal, you have to go into the restaurant dressed like a cow from head to, er, hoof. If you dress as only a partial bovine beauty then you'll score a free entree instead.

I think the idea is pretty funny, and I've done some crazy things in the name of food before, so perhaps if I actually had a Chick-fil-A nearby, I would score a free meal. What about you? Would you dress like a cow to get a free meal?

Dress Up Like a Cow, Get a Free Chicken Combo Meal

YumSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 08:01:38 -0700

I don't live near a Chick-fil-A, but from what I hear it's a fantastic fast food mecca. If you happen to live near one and don't mind making a fool of yourself, you should head down tomorrow (July 13th) to celebrate Cow Appreciation Day. If you come dressed as a cow, you'll even get a free combo meal. Just make sure that it's "fully dressed" and not "partially dressed" - after all, partially dressed will only get you an entree.

If you're interested and look forward to dressing as a cow, be sure to find a location near you.

KFC Being Sued Over Kentucky Grilled Chicken

YumSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:50:37 -0700

KFC's Kentucky Grilled Chicken made quite the headlines when it first hit the market - and the media attention doesn't look like it's about to stop. Yesterday vegetarian advocacy group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, or PCRM, announced its plans to sue KFC, alleging the chain failed to warn customers that its grilled chicken contains a carcinogen.The cancer-causing compound in question? PhIP, an amino that can be found in grilled meat. PCRM says it submitted samples to an independent lab that confirmed the presence of the carcinogenic compound in all pieces.

The suit follows a similar 2008 PCRM case against McDonald's, Burger King, Chick fil-A, Chili's, Applebee's, Outback Steakhouse, and TGI Friday's. Burger King, the only chain that wound up settling with the advocacy group, now posts signs inside its California locations warning against the possible presence of PhIP.

Do you believe these findings? Are they enough to deter you from eating Kentucky Grilled Chicken?
