Help Count The Number of People Who Have Tried Kentucky Grilled Chicken

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(Business Wire)--
In honor of the 60 million (and growing) citizens of Grilled Nation who have
tried KFC`s new Kentucky Grilled Chicken, KFC issued a letter to the United
Nations Secretary General requesting that Grilled Nation "earn a seat" at the
international organization`s table. The letter also requested that
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon call a special one-hour lunch break so that
members of the UN can "UNThink" their usual lunch routine and try new Kentucky
Grilled Chicken (KGC).

To expand the population of Grilled Nation, the world renowned KFC Colonel is
sampling new KGC for all UN employees and visitors on First Avenue, across from
the UN, with KGC branded street vendor carts. At 60 million strong, KFC`s
Grilled Nation is the equivalent of the 24th largest country in the world and
represents nearly 1 percent of the world`s population.

Grilled Nation Declares Monday, October 26 "UNFry Day"

All of us can attain citizenship in Grilled Nation this Monday, October 26, when

Chicken during Grilled Nations` UNofficial holiday, "UNFry Day." Potential

Monday, Oct. 26, and receive a FREE piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken.*

"The coast-to-coast success of Kentucky Grilled Chicken has proven that America
really does have good taste," said Javier Benito, executive vice president of
marketing and food innovation for KFC. "We hope that the United Nations
recognizes the growth of Grilled Nation as proof that 60 million people deserve
some delectable international diplomacy. And that UN employees deserve a break
