KFC Still At It

The chicken war continues and it looks like KFC has lost To combat against all the people they turned away over the past week due to the overdemanding response they are now issuing rain checks

On Tuesday, Oprah Winfrey announced on her show that coupons for a free Kentucky Grilled Chicken dinner would be available on her website. But the demand was so overwhelming that KFC could not accommodate everyone. Traffic near a KFC in Greensboro, N.C., created such a hazard on Wednesday that police ended up blocking access to the restaurant. And in New York City and elsewhere, disgruntled customers staged protests.

According to KFC, the company has never had such a response to a special-meal offer. "It's unprecedented in our more than 50 years," said KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow told the AP. "It beats anything we've ever done."
