In the late 1980s, McDonald’s ran a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-esque promotion where they gave away a million dollars. Tucked away inside your average daily newspaper, McDonald’s printed 80 million copies of the “Menu Song” on vinyl (actually a paper-thin and lightweight flexidisc), with one person taking away the major price.
Thankfully, KFC isn’t printing 80 million records, but its Canadian offshoot is running a contest where a handful of winners will win a special, limited-edition holiday album. With Kentucky Fried Carols, the Colonel and company have made a playable record using just the lid from their tried-and-true chicken bucket.
