So KFC is going some promotion that if you buy a Pink bucket of chicken, they will make a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation.
There is way too much out there that is pink and "For the cause." It has become a little much when I can buy pink razors and cereal and inner tubes where a portion of the proceeds go to finding a cure.
But if an organization decides to do it, I'm not going to give them grief. I will however avoid the product if I so choose. I think people and companies are having their hands forced to an extent, but I digress.
So of course, some people inevitably are complaining. Peta because chickens are, or in this case were, alive. Obesity because if you eat a bucket if chicken a day you will get fat. Some cancer group because they are jealous that they won't get the money.
Look all I need to hear from these people is a "Thank you" to KFC for contributing.
By the way, KFC could do away with everything except their new Kentucky Grilled Chicken. Have you tried it?

It would appear that your departure from the Hoosier State has significantly reduced the number of annoyances worthy of your 2 minutes of hate. That is a good thing! Surely you will be involved with the black gold mitigation in the Gulf, no? But I digest...
ReplyDeleteLos Angeles, CA: (Apr-25-07) Kentucky Fried Chicken was among about a dozen companies sued in 2005 for allegedly failing to heed Proposition 65, a voter-passed 1986 measure that requires businesses to post warnings about dangerous chemicals. KFC was accused of failing to warn its customers that its potatoes contain a suspected cancer-causing chemical. In a settlement reached, KFC agreed to display warnings that its fried or baked potatoes contain acrylamide, which is created when chemicals in food react to high heat as well as pay more than $340,000 in penalties and funding for Proposition 65 enforcement. KFC did not admit to any wrongdoing. Other companies named in the lawsuit include giants like PepsiCo, McDonald's and Frito-Lay. [ABC NEWS: KFC CANCER CHEMICALS]
Of course you realize KFC chickens begin their life in a petri dish!
