Title: WTF? Chick-fil-A Fans
Post by: dystopia on May 18, 2007, 11:02:29 AM
I've never eaten Chik-fil-A before.  Is it that good?

Chick-fil-A fans go for shot at 52 free meals

DeSanta, an Arizona State University business major, had planted himself in front of the store, hoping to be one of the first 100 customers to walk through the door Thursday morning. The first 100 were each rewarded with 52 free combo meals. DeSanta made it.

Company officials started taking names Wednesday evening; the catch was that no one could leave the parking lot. Participants brought large tents, pup tents, sleeping bags and folding chairs to wait out the night. Many also brought the creature comforts of home: televisions to watch DVDs and boom boxes to hear their favorite songs to pass the hours. A DJ also set up on the lot.

The company passed out free food and held an ice cream social at midnight. When the doors opened at 6:30 a.m., Chick-fil-A spokesman Phillip Perlman said, 132 passed through. It wasn't a loss for those in the 101 to 132nd position. They got a chance to win free food for a year as well.

Pretty good for Jesus food.

I like it.  I wouldn't wait in line for it.  I mean, I wouldn't even wait in a ten minute line for it.  But it's alright for fast food.

Although I buy a coffee or two every week from Caribou Coffee and it has been/is a little controversial.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribou_Coffee


The First Islamic Investment Bank of Baharain has a large financial stake in Arcapita, Caribou Coffee's parent corporation, and in 2002 Yusuf al-Qaradawi's involvement[1] with the bank led to a protest of Caribou Coffee. That same year al-Qaradawi stepped down as chairman of the bank's Sharia board.[2]

Well, hell, how tough was that? It's not like it was pouring rain or snowing. They should have made the participants stand on one leg or something.

It tastes like shake-and-bake chicken on a hamburger roll. I have no idea how they stay in business.

That isn't bad, if it's leftovers out of my own fridge.  I doubt that I'd bother to buy it.

Down here in Texas Chick-fil-A is big. It is always busy. It's fried chicken on a bun with pickles. Ironically  McDonald's has the same thing out down here called a Southern Chicken Sandwich.

Add some Tabasco and ketchup, and it's some good *feces*. What I like about it is that it's all white meat fillet. I am a breast man, after all.

They're everywhere here, and they are the favorite of the hot mothers with little kids.


I say that because my wife goes there once or twice per week.

Maybe they'll open an Australian Topless Chick-Fil-A here.  I'd go to that.

63 miles seems far if you have routine access.... but it would be worth it if you never tried CFA before!

cfa sandwich, golden wheat, no pickles    !
