fast food is too chicken to try harder

The other day, I walked past a fast food restaurant. There was a poster in the front window advertising a new chicken sandwich – made with 100% real chicken.

I stopped and took a closer look. Was this a serious sign? I glanced around me at all the people who were streaming past, seemingly uninterested in this announcement. Apparently, the sign was real and its news inconsequential.

I was bothered. Is 100% real chicken now such an accomplishment that it can be placed boastfully on a colorful poster? What the cluck? Are there no standards anymore?

Apparently not.
