KFC Braves Another Grilled Chicken Giveaway

YumSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:50:23 -0700

Now that KFC's finally named a winner in its search for the right grilled chicken spokesperson, the chain is ready for yet another Kentucky Grilled Chicken giveaway. Declaring next Monday, Oct. 26 "UNFry Day," KFC will be handing out one free piece of grilled chicken to customers at more than 5,000 restaurants across the US.

The fast food company's last grilled chicken giveaway, which was backed by none other than Oprah Winfrey, caused quite a stir when KFC, faced with overwhelming demand, was forced to issue an apology and staggered rainchecks to customers who were turned away.

Considering what happened during the last giveaway, I'm not sure I'm ready to show up for this one. Did you have a bad experience with the last promotion? Would you be willing give KFC another try?

YumSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 05:50:40 -0700

Want to make someone else's day and yours at the same time? Well, today's your lucky day! You can have your ice cream and it eat, too.

Tonight between 5 and 8 p.m., stop into the nearest Cold Stone, drop any amount of change to benefit Make-a-Wish, and score a free three-ounce serving of Jack's Creation, an ice cream sundae with brownies, rainbow sprinkles, and caramel.

With a location just, well, a stone's throw away from our office, I'm sure I'll be participating. Plus, I'm dying to scope out the shop's new line of ice cream that doesn't melt. Are you willing to eat some ice cream for the cause?
