The Cows are Taking Over the World

They are everywhere. You see them on billboards, at the mall, in other shopping areas,  and in commercials on television. They even have their own college football games!   That's right, I am talking about those wild and crazy Chick-fil-A cows. Thinking about it, don't you agree that the person who created that advertising idea was very clever?

Do you like to eat at Chick-fil-A? Why or why not? What is your favorite fast food restaurant? Do you like the ads, or have they gotten boring and old?

Check out their website! The history and policies of Chick-fil-A are interesting to read. Let me know what you think! Oh, yes include one neat Chick-fil-A fact in your post. Proofread!

I think it is very cool. Chick-fill-a food is the the best fast food place in the whole world. Plus the cow is very funny.

I like to eat at Chick-fil-A, but it's not my favorite. My favorite fast food restaurant is Taco Bell. Chick-fil-A's ad's are pretty clever and whoever did think of them did a good job. None of the other food ads are the same.

I don't really like Chick-fil-A food. I think it's boring and tasteless. I don't really like fast food at all, but if I had to pick my favorite I guess it would be Taco Bell. In 2010, Chick-fil-A annual sales were over $3.5 billion.

I like to eat at Chick-fil-A, it is one of my favorite restaurants. Chick-fil-A is also one of the best fast food places we have today. But I have to say taco bell is still one of my favorites.

i think chick-fil-a is good but white castle is the best fast food place everything is small and bite sized

Austin McNew said...

I love eating Chick-fil-A it is delicious! My favorite fast food would have to be Burger King though because I love their fries! I think some of the ads are funny and creative and they never get old. I also figured out on their web site that they are always closed on Sunday, Christmas, and Thanksgiving.

I don't like Chick-fil-A. I would rather eat at T's restaurant. I used to like the Chick-fil-A but, the have got boring to me. I mean almost every channel now has the same Chick-fil-A comercial on. Chik-fil A's first freestanding store opened in 1986.

Yes, I think the person who created the advertising Chick-fil-A cow is very clever. I love eating at Chick-fil-A because their chicken sandwich and lemonade are really good. My favorite fast food restaurant is Chick-fil-A. I also think the Chick-fil-A adds will never get old or boring because they're to funny!!!:)

Fun Fact:In 1995 a renegade cow paintbrush in mouth painted the three words"EAT MOR CHIKIN"on a billboard.

Marc Cowling said...

I believe that chick-fill-a had a very smart idea to get people into there door. They used something that you would not expect to grab peoples attention. COWS!!Did you know that the "Cow" started in 1995 by painting on a billboard. But as for me personally.. I am a Taco Bell kinda guy.

Zabinski said...

I have only eaten Chick-fil-a once even though I used to be able to walk to one that was recently build. I don't know what sandwich I had but I do know that it was really good. Chick-fil-a's mission statement is: "Be America's Best Quick-Service Restaurant"

I think the person who came up with the advertising idea was very clever because he found a way to make the place more money and to make it more noticable. Ckick-fil-A is a good place to eat they are one of the very few places to eat where the food actualy tastes good. Chick-fil-A was established in 1946 by Truett Cathy.

I like Chick-fill-a food. The chick-fill-a cows are so funny. They have good waffle fries

Jasmine Walston said...

Chick-fil-a is my favorite fast food restaurant. I think that Chick-fil-a has good marketing skills, as they effectively target audiences of all ages. There are over 20 items on the original menu, according to the company website, however I have always stuck to the original chicken sandwich.

Littlefield said...

Mooooooooooooooo!!!! Cows are so awesome! Chick-fil-a makes the most awesome fries in the world. There fries are delicious with mayo. :) Even better they now have a new flavored milkshake “Peppermint Chocolate Chip.” Sounds yummy with French fries, mayo, and a Chicken Sandwich. Taco Bell is better than Chik-Fil-A in every way though just because they make Mexican food(tacos)! Either way both places are pretty tasty.

Chick-fill-a is one of my top 3 places to eat. My favorite would have to be Golden Corral, or Mc-Donalds. I do enjoy the Chick-fill-a adds, I actually just realized not too long ago that they cows are the "mascot" and they are saying eat more chicken to make they eat less of the places with beef.

























MR. DOWNINGS FAVORITE STUDENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

Sharod said...

I love chick-fill-a food their chicken is the best. I especially love the spicy chicken sandwiches and the fact that its real chicken.Not processed food like McDonalds

Anonymous said...

I think Chick-fil-A is probably my favorite fast food restaurant out there. I also like some of the advertisement because they are funny. I think that advertising a cow for a place that sells chicken is quite hilarious. Whoever came up with that is very smart person.

Quinterra said...

I like Chick-fil-a only because their chicken is real. Another thing is they have manners and they do not get rude and nasty with the customers. Other restaurants they have people go outside and smoke. At chick-fil-a you do not see any of that. The other thing is they are healthier then other fast food places.

Kain C. said...

Chick-fil-a is the best fast food restraunt, ever. I love their spicey chicken sandwiches and waffle fries and a nice milkshake. And those cows have really gone far, they even have cow merchandise. They have some clever people behind their desks.

Jeamis Britt said...

Chick-fil-a food is the best fast food restaurant EVER ! I love all their food. It's too good. The waffle fries are the best. The chicken nuggests are made just right. I could eat there everyday. It is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants other than McDonalds and Burger King. I love the cow. He is too cute ( : Their adds are very creative in my opinion.

My favorite fast food place would have to be Chick-Fil-A. They have the best chicken i would have to say. The cows have been out for a little long and i think they are getting a little old. But every time you see a cow you think of Chick-Fil-A which is good advertisement. Most of Chick-Fil-A's chicken is cooked with peanut oil.

Chick-fil-A is my favorite fast food restaurant. The cows make it interesting because they are at every occasion they sponsor.
- eat more chicken -

ALEX said...

Chick-fil-A, definetly not my favorite. Nasty, greasy chicken. I'm good. Waffle fries: Good one. not enough to keep me going there. The cows are a smart way of promoting chicken, but I feel like the only one enjoying the sight of them now is the little kids that've never seen them before. The 90's is over. Just keep in mind the next time you go, all their meal bags, napkins, and trayliners are made from 100% recylced material. If that wasn't enought to tell you, I'm a taco bell guy.

Ryan Brant said...

Chick-fil-A is a very popular resturant. Their ideals help promote a large amount of steady business. On Sundays, the resturant closes. Religious people respect them for this. Also, most of their food is healthy. Chick-fil-A is definitely an upscale "fast-food" resturant.

Sierra F said...

Yes I do think that whoever came up with the idea to use cows to advertise for a chicken restaurant was clever. I do indeed enjoy Chik-fil-A because their chicken is amazing & their waffle fries rock (don't hate). My favorite fast food restaurant is not Chik-fil-A it is Wendy's because they have really tasty apple peacan chicken salads. I do like the Chik-fil-A ads and no they have not gotten old because they are still funny and entertaining.

I LOVE the Chick-fil-A cows and I love Chick-fil-A. We ate Chick-fil-A at the Regional Drama Competition for lunch before judging, so maybe it's a lucky food. It's probably my favorite fast food restaurant. The cows will always be cute since they are always changing. A nifty fact about Chick-fil-A is that it's founder, Truett Cathy, was a rather religious man, and so he wouldn't allow any Chick-fil-A restaurants to be open on Sundays.

Jessica Bryant said...

I love Chick-Fil-A, but I don't like the fact that they are not open on Sundays. I don't really have a favorite fast food resturant, they all have their different things that I like. I love the Chick-Fil-A advertisements, I have a Chick-Fil-A cow in my room actually. The bilboards are the best. Interesting fact: They served us at our Regional Drama Competition. :D

Austin Meier said...

Chick-fill-a is the best fast food restuarant on earth. It makes the best chicken sandwiches ever. Although I love there food I don't think there commercials are very good.

Morgan Myers said...

Chick-fil-A is my favorite place to eat! I love their food, I wish they had one closer to where I live. Chick-fil-A's annual sales were over 3.5 billion in 2010.

Jasmine M. said...

Since Chicken and Turkey are the only meats I eat Chik-fil-a is my favorite fast food place. I love eating there. Their ads are catchy too, even though I want to correct them. I especially love the packets the condiments come in, like the barbecue sauce. If you could stack all of the packets of Chick-fil-A Barbecue Sauce used in one year without them tumbling over, they would reach 879 miles high.

Kelsey Searcy said...

I love Chick-Fil-A! I could eat their chicken sandwiches everyday! I love walking into a Chick-Fil-A restaurant and be greeted so nicely. I always find out that for a really nice fast-food restaurant, the employees are so much nicer than in any other restaurant. Chick-fil-A sold more than 282 million Chick-fil-A Sandwiches, that is 537 a minute or almost 9 sandwiches per second.

anna deeeee said...

Chick-fil-a is definitely the best fast food place to eat! I like taco bell as well. Eat more chicken! :)

Sandy said...

I love Chick-Fil-A food. the chicken strips are the best. Their food is fresh unlike other fast food Restaurant.

$hyanne said...

Chick-fil-A sandwich totals for 2010 Laid end to end, they would span 21 thousand miles, just shy of wrapping around the Earth’s circumference. I love Chick-fil-A! Who ever made up the ads for them is most likely a billionaire right now!

Lindsey Ball said...

I think that the creator of the Chick-fil-a cow was actually very intelligent. We all have had years of schooling and are sensitive to these bold spelling areas. I didn't know about you, but I am constantly amused by these silly animals. I love Chick-fil-a! Honestly, it's my favorite fast food restaurant. I mean obviously they are successful! For every second, nine sandwiches are sold! Chick-fil-a is great!

Gerald P. said...

I personally like Chick-Fil-A. I think their chicken sandwiches are very good. If I had to choose, my favorite fast-food restaurant would have to be either Subway or Wendy's. I like the Chick-Fil-A ads and think they are pretty funny.
An interesting fact about Chick-Fil-A would be:The first Chick-Fil-A opened in 1967 in an Atlanta mall.

Jake D. said...

I like to eat at Chick-Fil-A, but my favorite is Fire House! Chick-Fil-A start in 1946, that a long time ago! But I do not eat at fast food restaurants alot. I would rather sit down and have a nice meal.

Alexandra :) said...

I like to eat at Chick-fil-A, it is a very good place to eat. The cows are cute and you get to see them every time you go to any of the events they sponsor. They also can get annoying because you always see them. But other than that Chick-fil-A has some really good food!

Caroline Steele said...

Chick-fil-A is my favorite! Their sandwiches are really good. The founder of Chick-fil-A is Truett Cathy. I also like the Chick-fil-A cow idea, it was very clever.

Leslie Requena said...

Chick-fil-a is an okay restaurant, I wouldn't say it's my favorite, the food is also bland and could use a lot more flavor. I don't have a favorite restaurant, I don't really go to fast food places much, since my parents aren't really home alot. So, my sister and I just end up making some home made mexican food. Chick-fil-a is owned by an extremely christian family and are always closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Raegan Hasty said...

Chick-fil-A is my all time favorite fast food restaurant. I love Chick-fil-A basically because their food is yummy. The ads are absolutely adorable! If you go to any Chick-fil-A on Labor Day wearing a team logo shirt you will get a free chicken sandwich.
p.s. "Eat Mor Chikin"

Amanda Chappell said...

The cows are indeed taking over the world. Everyone recognizes them with a smile and can even get a laugh out of the advertisment. The person who came up with the idea about cows had to be pretty bright, as well as the people who come up with the funny sayings for the billboards. Their ads still amuse me, but they are getting kind of old. Chick-fil-A is not my favorite fast food restuarant, but they do have good fries and chicken minnis! I enjoy going there for breakfast with my mom and sister. My favorite fast food would probably be McDonalds or Taco Bell. An interesting fact about Chick-fil-A though, is that they are founded on Christian principles. After all these years, they still stick to their morals. Some of them play Christian music and they are closed on Sundays. Chick-fil-A has a lot to be proud of. It is quite yummy, and has very persuasive advertising!

I love to eat at Chik-fil-A. Chick-fil-A never has anything new, just chicken. They also only use penut oil. Chick-fil-A does not compare to Sonic because you can customize your drink any way you want.

annaa said...

Fact: Chick fil a sales were over 3.5 billion.

Dylan said...

Yea I guess their food I ok I mean I don't hate it it is pretty good. My favorite fast food resturant is Burger King. I guess the adds are ok. You will always see a cow there some where.
