Commentary
Chick-fil-A first used the phrase "Eat Mor Chikin" on a billboard in 1995. It was a creative way for a couple of Holstein cows with poor spelling skills to encourage humans to steer their fast food outlay toward chicken in lieu of hamburgers.
This irreverent top ten list pokes fun at the successful advertising campaign by inventing made up examples of advertising slogans that are unlikely to be approved by Chick-fil-A or its advertising company. Some items appeal to negative messaging about beef (items 9, 7, and 5) while others contain positive messaging about chicken (items 8 and 6). Item 10 hits both themes and is similar to an actual Chick-fil-A slogan (as is item 7). The items are sillier than actual slogans, perhaps amplifying the "we can't spell" motif.
A couple of items (items 6 and 3) are riffs on Christian concepts or bible verses. Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy was a devout Christian (Southern Baptist) who famously kept the restaurants closed on Sundays. We doubt that Mr. Cathy or any member of Company management would view eating chicken as more godly than eating beef, but we do think it's good for a chuckle. (After all, In-N-Out Burger is a privately held company founded by the evangelical Christian Snyders, so there are "burger Christians" too.) Item 3 is a riff on the famous bible verse John 8:7, which ends with "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her" (RSV).
All of the satirical slogans reflect the Holstein cows' poor spelling abilities and desire to direct our hunger urges towards chicken. Item 1 takes this self-preservation impulse from a witty level to a ridiculous, frantic level.
Fonts that are similar to the text used on Chick-fil-A billboards are available on the internet but are not widely available as part of web browsers, so we went with Comic Sans MS.
