Special Delivery: Scent of Freshly Prepared Kentucky Fried Chicken to Tempt Taste Buds of American Officeworkers
"Forget television integrations or corporate naming rights, Kentucky Fried Chicken's first-ever "scent-focused" pilot program teamed KFC with corporate mail rooms nationwide. Along with carrying inter-office mail, overnight packages and bills, mail carts in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Dallas delivered the aroma of freshly prepared Kentucky Fried Chicken during pre-lunch mail drops.
Through the pilot program, KFC worked with an online company, a business-to-business consulting firm and a non-profit, to include a $2.99 Deal -- a plated meal including KFC's world famous chicken, a side item and a biscuit -- on the actual mail carts that pass the offices of hungry workers."
We're curious as to exactly HOW said lunch plate is attached to the mail cart. Duct taped to the handle? Sliding around atop stacks of inter-office manila envelopes, dashing gravy and grease all over TPS Reports? Inquiring minds want to know.
If the KFC Kart should happen by your desk, would you be a doll, and send us a pic and/or post in the comments? Theeenks.

eat it more often if it was not so rediculously expensive
compared to the rest of it. My god, it's just chicken. It does
not posses magical powers, but it is good.

get coupons because it's just been so rediculously expensive
anymore. I love it, but it posses no magical powers.I mean,
it's only chicken ya'll. I can usually get a better deal on fried
chicken somewhere else. Are you listening KFC?

I have been to KFC and had to wait 30 minutes to get it, the order always gets screwed up, the service stinks and the price is too high. Hell you know it comes from the same farm and the Colonel pays less or equal to the others.

Perhaps you need the dollar menu at McDonalds.
KFC is just fine. You get what you pay for, despite being, "just chicken".

I'm from Scranton PA and there is only one KFC that I know of about 20 minutes away.I LOVE KFC ! All I know is that if they deilvered here I would never stop eating it and I would become the mother in the movie What's eating Gilbert Grape. what I'm trying to say is I would become so big that my kids would have to burn the house down when I died to save me the embaressment of carrying my fat ass out. I'm just trying to say I love KFC that much no matter what it costs. IT'S THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

10-21-2007 @9:18AM Karen said... Love KFC, but no longer buy it. after the pieces decreased in size by about a third. They must be doing the chickens at 6 weeks instead of the previous 8 weeks. And to add insult to injury, when the size went down, the price went up. It's just chicken. They must think they are selling lobster tails or something.

There is a more humain way of killing chickens or other animals then throwing them against wood or dipping them in scolding hot water while still alive!
