Throw away the turkey grandma, KFC is taking over! In an announcement that may change the face of Thanksgiving, KFC will now offer a complete four-person Thanksgiving Dinner for only $29.95. "We decided that it was time for the holiday to change a bit" said Justin Voorhees, the new CEO of KFC, "Turkey has ruled the roost since the days of the Pilgrim. That's about to change. We are going to take twenty pound chickens and deep fry the whole thing. Biscuits, potatoes, cranberry, stuffing and pumpkin pie, all the fixins!" When we asked him what prompted the decision Voorhees said that the economy has people cutting back and the traditional holiday meal is not affordable to many. "If you went out and purchased all the normal items that goes with a turkey dinner you can spend from $200 -$2,000 dollars if not more!" Vorhees explained. "Anyone who wants all those fabulous herbs and spices they have grown to love over the years, mixed in with a Thanksgiving feast then pre-order your meals by November 22nd and not only will you get a fabulous meal but it's affordable as well!"
The KFC farms have been beefing up thousands of their finest chickens for this event and they are estimating that the demand may be higher then what they can produce. "Order early" Voorhees says, "There are only a certain number of these succulent, juicy chickens that can be ordered you don't want to miss out."

I haven't had KFC since I was in Peru in 2001. I loved that stuff. But I make something a little similar at home. Steam chicken legs, then dip them in batter with a little sage in it and deep fry. The kids loved it at a 5th of the price.

Hello Brain Twinkey – or “the progressive purveyor of hot news off the chicken wire!”
KFC is serving up the exact kind of brilliant business strategy that will keep it afloat and profitable during this economic crisis that is causing hundreds of other (seemingly) successful chains to struggle. Whether or not this Thanksgiving offering is a big hit or complete miss, CEO Voorhees is at least recognizing his consumers' true needs and aligning the value of the KFC product line to them with a feasible plan. THAT kind of trial will eventually make KFC thrive, as opposed to other businesses over a broad range of industries that are just whining about a weak economy during what is supposed to be "the most wonderful time of the year" revenue-wise. When times get tough, apparently we should just get tender! Tender white chicken meat that is...

As I very much enjoyed your take on this story, this story as most of the stories you will find in The Zone are satirical and are just figments of my "cream filled cranium"
