Free food always hits the spot and it’s something we can all relate to. Whether it’s a treat from a friend’s party or a complimentary dish at a restaurant, we love taking advantage of delicious eats, especially when they’re free.
Two pranksters recently took this love of free food to the next level when they posed as officers from the “Centre for Disease and Prevention” to score some free chicken at KFC.
In a viral video posted on Instagram, the two men can be seen entering the KFC restaurant dressed in hazmat suits, introducing themselves as officers from the “Centre for Disease and Prevention.” They explain that there has been an outbreak of chicken in Europe and they need to take a sample for testing.
The manager of the KFC outlet agrees to give them a small chicken bite and before long, he’s handing over boxes of chicken wings to the “officers.” As they leave with their sealed packets of food, they jokingly tell the manager they’ll email him the results in six months.
The video has generated a lot of buzz online, with over 7.9 million views and mixed reactions from social media users. While some found the prank hilarious and praised the “officers” for their successful con, others felt it was illegal and could damage the reputation of the restaurant.
Social media users have given their verdict on the prank, with comments such as “Result: yummy yummy yummy” and “Result: it’s delicious”. However, not everyone was impressed with the stunt. Some commented that the prank could damage the restaurant’s reputation and that it was illegal to impersonate an agent.
Irrespective of comments and everything, the Two Pranksters have however ended up having free food which might hurt people more as they realize.
