I always suspected it didn't contain chicken! <G>

"Loco" doesn't even list (on their website) their ingredients whatsoever for
anything on their menu, declaring them secret. When "Loco" was asked over the
phone "how do we know your products don't contain beef?" Their response was
merely "uhm..." [pause while a woman cuts in] "...we can assure everyone that
our products don't contain beef." Oh, really?!? That assurance by two
nameless, faceless Loco employees. The BUMS!!!

I'd bet if there was full disclosure on Loco's part they be yellow with
embarrassment. I'll bet KFCs attorneys are working up a complaint.

Seems pretty petty. Many beef-based products contain chicken, and
many chicken products contain beef. And many vegetable-based
products used to contain one or the other - or a artificial
chicken/beef flavoring nowadays.

Oh I don't know, if you go to KFC for their new grilled chiken
sandwich I don't think you want beef in it, you want just chicken.
Sure they discose what's in the new sandwich on their website but who
has a computer in their back pocket when they order? I'd like to see
it disclosed in the resturant in a way patrons could see it, not just
on a website.

Have you ever read the back of one of McD's tray liners? Have a look
is all I'm saying.

I wouldn't eat chicken with KFC's name on it!

Their grilled chicken is not new. It was available last year but customers
weren't trying it so KFC did the free meal offer a few months back in an
attempt to generate new interest. They never said it was new, unless putting
it on a roll made it "new." Seems to be working, sadly.

Thinking about it, KFC is probably furiously at work kreating TV commercials
as we speak...

"We at KFC would like to know the ingredients in 'Loco's' foods but...
pssst... it their dirty little secret!"

Watch it backfire in Loco's face. I hope it does. Loco is probably a gasp
away from chapter 11 anyway, to think this up.

Never tried Loco.

Well, I guess it backfired on el pollo loco since ALL of their
commercials seem to have been pulled where they used to be on a pretty
heavy rotation -several times a night. I have not seem the new
commercial at ALL not even one time!
