    Woman finds deep-fried towel in chicken

    A woman in the Philippines was shocked after she allegedly found a deep-fried towel in her chicken from a fried chicken chain.

    As per details, Alique Perez had ordered food from a restaurant in the Philippines on Tuesday. When the order was delivered, she tried to cut some chicken for her son. She was shocked when she found a deep-fried towel instead of a portion of fried chicken.

    Perez posted a video on social media and wrote, “Just something that frustrated me this late. We had Jollibee delivered via grab. Ordered chicken for my son, while I was trying to get him a bite, I found it super hard to even slice. Tried opening it up with my hands and to my surprise a deep-fried towel. This is really disturbing… How the hell do you get the towel in the batter and even fry it!?!?”

    “Now I know that it really happens. So disgusting and embarrassing… to think that you’re even branched in BGC. There’s a first for everything. And this has been the worst first! Calming myself down for this..,” she added.

    “The essence of the towel contaminated the oil and the batter from the supplier so how many chickenjoys are affected? We won’t know.”

    The restaurant stated on Wednesday that they had to close the branch in Bonifacio Global City for three days, starting from June 3 “to thoroughly review its compliance with procedures and retrain its store team” to ensure that this does not happen again.

  • KFC suspends its ‘Finger Lickin’ Good’ slogan due to COVID-19

    KFC suspends its ‘Finger Lickin’ Good’ slogan due to COVID-19

    KFC has announced it will be suspending its slogan “It’s Finger Lickin’ Good” due to coronavirus. The food chain has used the slogan for more than six decades but is now skipping it because of the pandemic.

    The fastfood chain, in a statement, on Monday said that it would not be using the slogan for the first time in 64 years because it “doesn’t quite feel right”.

    “We find ourselves in a unique situation – having an iconic slogan that doesn’t quite fit in the current environment,” Catherine Tan-Gillespie, global chief marketing officer at KFC said.

    The menu isn’t changing and the company said the slogan will return when the “time is right.”

    The decision comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised people not to touch their eyes, nose and mouth amid the pandemic.

    In a YouTube video posted on the company’s UK and Ireland account, KFC blurred ‘finger lickin’ on old billboards and buckets of chicken after the announcement.

    “That thing we always say? Ignore it. For now,” the video reads.
