Arby's Lures Sports Fans With Free Food

When the Detroit Red Wings failed to score hat tricks (three goals by one player in a single game) for parts of two seasons, they weren't only failing to score points. They were disappointing fans who were promised a free box of curly fries from Arby's.

The fast-food chain has kept Detroit-area sports fans satiated with free grub by tying giveaways to sports feats. For Tigers baseball fans, it's a free roast beef sandwich for three or more home-game home runs, says Tina Hering, marketing manager for Arby's in Michigan.

The baseball team was able to achieve that goal 18 times this season. But it's been a waiting game for hockey fans who've dubbed the lack of hat tricks as "the Arby's Curse." The curse was finally lifted last week.

Wahoo's Fish Tacos Turn 21

Wahoo's Fish Taco, the West Coast fast-food joint known both for its tacos and California surfer sensibility, celebrated its 20th anniversary in February with a party at its original Costa Mesa, Calif., restaurant. At the party they served 20-cent tacos and the first 200 guests won raffle prizes and an autograph session with professional skater Ryan Sheckler.

But the party isn't over yet. On Saturday, the company's beloved fish tacos will have their own 21st birthday shindig at all 38 California Wahoo's locations.

It's unclear what it means for a fish taco to turn 21, but customers who get free food and prizes, probably won't be complaining. (At 21, can fish tacos now finally be cooked with alcohol?)

The first 21 customers at each restaurant will get a swag box of prizes, including gifts from Tony Hawk Inc., the pro skateboarder's action-sports company. Everyone who eats at a California Wahoo's on Saturday will be rewarded with a free meal or gift card.

Will the Colonel's third grilled chicken giveaway be a charm?

KFC will once again hand out free pieces of its Kentucky Grilled Chicken on Monday, Oct. 26, in a promotion hailed as "UNFry Day."

Customers can stop by KFC locations throughout the day on Monday and receive a free piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken. No coupon is required.

"Already, more than 60 million Americans have joined 'Grilled Nation' by trying our new Kentucky Grilled Chicken," KFC spokesman Rick Maynard tells Slashfood. "But we're not satisfied with just 60 million, so we're giving away free KGC again."

McDonald's Serves Up Free Mocha Mondays

How do you take your coffee? How about free?

Stop into a McDonald's between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. today or on any Monday between now and August 3 and get a free sample of their McCafé Mocha.

The fast-food chain will offer either a 7-ounce iced mocha or 8-ounce hot mocha -- but only one per customer, so choose your format wisely.

With such deeply entrenched competitors as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and the newly arrived Canadian competitor, Tim Hortons also thirsty for market share, the promotion is McDonald's newest effort to promote its new line of premium espresso drinks to coffee-drinkers nationwide.

McDonald's McCafé line was introduced in early May and includes hot or iced coffee, lattes and mochas, as well as cappuccinos and hot chocolate.

As McDonald's continues drawing in coffee-drinking customers with their McCafé concept, Slashfood wants to know, who's got your favorite cup o' joe?

Free Chick-fil-A for Customers in Cow Costumes

Don't do a double take Friday if you happen to see some customers at Chick-fil-A dressed as bovines. They're just celebrating the chain's fifth annual Cow Appreciation Day.

Any customer who shows up to the restaurant on July 10 dressed in full cow regalia -- that means dressed from head to hoof -- will get a free combo meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner). Those who come with just a piece of cow clothing (T-shirt, bandanna, purse, etc.) will get a free entree.

Seems like a lot of commitment for free food. Would you do it?

Would you sacrifice your dignity for free food?

Chick-fil-a wants you to dress up like a cow

chick-fil-a's cow imageLast Friday, the u-pick farm I like to frequent was offering a special 4th of July deal. If you were willing to sing the National Anthem, or recite the Pledge of Alligence, they'd give you a free bag of popcorn to take home along with the peaches, blueberries and plums you picked. I was more interested in the apple cider donuts, so I skipped the display of patriotism and paid for my snack.

However, if you're the type who likes to work for your meal and doesn't mind looking a little silly in the pursuit of a good deal, then you might like what Chick-fil-a offering up this Friday. They've declared it to be Cow Appreciation Day and if you dress up like a cow and go to one of their stores, you'll be rewarded with some free food. If you go all out and dress yourself from head to hoof, you'll get a free combo meal. If you just do a partial look, you'll be given a standalone entree. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your costume.

These people really love chicken

Chick-fil-AWould you sit all night in a parking lot to get free combo meals?

That's what over 100 people did in Phoenix yesterday. They stayed overnight in the parking lot of Chick-fil-A to get 52 free combo meals. The doors opened at 6:30am and the customers (who brought along tents and sleeping bags and TVs so they'd be at home in the parking lot) walked through the door for their free meals. Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry dated the woman who worked in the soup kitchen and he was amazed that people would eat soup all day, even in the morning.

Wait a second, 100 people got 52 free combo meals each? Is that what the article says? Yikes.

Tip of the Day

Even though the crust of your pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving turned out flaky and buttery, consider everyone "pie"-ed out. Try these non-pie ways to use up leftover disk of dough.
