Two weeks ago, Chick-fil-A gave customers the chance to earn a free combo meal by coming in to their stores dressed in cow costumes. (In case you missed it, our editor
donned spots to cash in on this deal.) Yesterday, KFC took a stab at this sort of publicity stunt (what, KFC, you haven't had enough press from the
Double Down?) by offering the first ten people dressed in a competing chain's uniform a free
Doublicious sandwich.
They even resurfaced a Colonel look-alike in a promotional video to encourage fast food employees to come get their sandwiches (in it, a McDonald's worker trades out his McD's hat for one bearing the KFC logo).
If that young man (or any competing uniform-wearers) lost his or her job on account of the free meal, KFC promised to welcome them into their arms of employment. Head over to
Eater to see the promo video.
