America's Most Wholesome Celebrity Interviewed!
LAKE PARK, FL — Elsie the Cow has nothing on Chick-Fil-A's capricious cow mascot, who goes against the grain as she cajoles customers to "Eat Mor Chiken!"
We seized the opportunity to interview this "moove
r & shaker" at a recent Chick-Fil-A special event, and as you will see, we milked it for all it's worth.
We asked why she was holding up a sign that read "Eat Mor Chiken." Her hoof-written answer: "this is a protest to save the cows."
Ohhh-kay . . . we then inquired as to why the sign was misspelled. "Because cows can't spell very well."
"So why are Holstein cows used," we asked.
"Holsteins are cute," was her 'matter of fact' reply.
The cow then went on to explain that The Richards Group, an advertising agency out of Dallas, Texas, created the numerous awards-winning cow mascot campaign, and that the cows were recently inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame on NYC's Madison Avenue!
We had more queries, like "where's the beef, what's your favorite moo-sic, are there any bullfriends on the horizon, your favorite moo-vie" and "what do you think of udder mascots?"
But the bashful bovine kept her cool, addressing just one more curiousity: Why Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sundays.
"To give the employees an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose."
THAT was an unexpected answer — and spelled correctly too! In this era of business greed, corporate coldness and overworked employees, it was refreshing to hear. And it moooved this writer, so much that he too will forego steak dinners for awhile — and Eat Mor Chiken!
After all, that Chick-Fil-A chicken IS delicious.
