10 KFC Tweets for the Prize

First we had those artery-clogging food bowls, then we had two pieces of fried chicken substituting a bun, it seemed there were no more possible ways for Kentucky Fried Chicken to declare to the world:



“Humanity, we think you’re going down the toilet, and we may as well capitalize on it!”



But now, KFC is offering a $20,000 scholarship for the student with the best “tweet.” That’s right, scholarships in the past have been awarded on various merits such as stellar grades for four years, an essay possessing an advanced understanding on a certain topic, music or athletic ability honed from years of hard work and effort, or in some cases being left-handed and wanting to study accounting, but with KFC, all it takes is a sentence.

One sentence and likely procrastination on a social network. If that doesn’t encourage scholarly excellence, I don’t know what does. Still, while I’m not sure if graduate students qualify or not, I could use an extra 20K. Here’s 10 tweets in an attempt to chase the prize:



I ate your macaroni and cheese once, had the squirts for a week but still passed a final #KFCscholar



I wore a Colonel Sanders tie to prom #KFCscholar



What you call creativity I call playing with your food #KFCscholar



Even as a little kid I knew which state you guys started in #KFCscholar
