for everyone

My new place is surrounded by cheap and rubbish take aways. One of the more memorable ones is called Lick'n Chick'n, but not for the food. For a take-away to get anywhere around here, it seems to need a gimmick. In this case, it's a running theme with the meal names. But with this one, I just can't believe that this is accidental. I can't imagine anyone ever thinking it a good idea for a name. Just thought I'd share it.

Round here there're "Kensy Chicken" and I think there's a "Chicken Hut"

Ripped off from KFC's old slogan - "finger lickin' good," I'm sure, and without any more creative thought than that.

That is so wrong. Lol.

Wrong. Amen.
Makes this look good. So good, in fact, I'll be back later.

No doubt Peter. I just like the image of a group of executives sitting around a boardroom table looking pensive, then one jumping to his feet and saying "I know, we'll call it the Lick'n Kiddies Meal" and the rest of them just staring at him with admiration.

I'm thinking it went more along the lines of "What's that thing that MacDonald's does? Oh, yeah, Happy Meals - yeah, let's do that!" "You can't do that, it's trademarked." "Oh. Call it Kiddie's Meals or something, then." And then some drone in the labelling department tacking on the Lick'n without think'n.

The words "Lick'n Kiddies" should never be put together. It's just asking for trouble.

And I doubt these guys had a board room...

For some reason, I agree with you there Tim.

You'd think they'd be careful of such things, considering the trapfalls of the chicken industry with a name like Lick'n. What with thighs, legs, and breasts lying around everywhere.
