How did Burger King compare their chicken sandwich to Chick-fil-As?
BURGER King is joining in on the chicken sandwich wars and it's taking a not-so-subtle dig at the inventor of the chicken sandwich. The official Burger King Twitter account came at Chick-fil-A not only for their popular sandwich but also for their not so popular relationship with the LGBTQ+ community. The account tweeted that it would donate 40 cents for every Ch'King chicken sandwich sold during pride month to the Human Rights Campaign- America's largest LGBTQ civil rights organization. According to Burger King, sandwiches will be sold "even on Sunday"- a dig at the Chick-fil-A who's Christian ownership closes its restaurants on Sundays. Burger King first announced its new crispy chicken sandwich, served on a potato bun with pickles and a special sauce in February. The restaurant has been trying to promote its new "Ch'King" sandwich. Last month they offered to give free Whoppers to any customers who order the sandwich through Burger King's website or app from June 3 until June 20.  the #ChKing says LGBTQ+ rights! during #pride month (even on Sundays ) your chicken sandwich craving can do good!
