KFC Wants to Fill Potholes for Free

In an effort to promote their “Fresh Tastes Best” campaign, the fast food chain is looking to proceed with an idea to Re-”Fresh” roads. KFC recently sent out a letter to the nation’s mayors offering pothole patching for free. The only catch is each patch will be branded with a stencil signaling the road has been “Re-Freshed by KFC.” KFC estimated that U.S. roads are plagued with more than 350 million potholes.

The Chicago Tribune talked with Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, who probably dismissed KFC attempting to do any work there.
