A man from California recently made waves on Facebook after posting a weird image of an oddly shaped cutlet that he claims to have received in a meal from a Los Angeles KFC on Friday. The photo had been shared more than 121,000 times and counting since then.
Devorise Dixon, 25, mentioned on Facebook that he found the rat-looking cutlet rubbery upon having a bit on it. He then claimed to have taken it back to the KFC restaurant where he bought it. Dixon said that the restaurant manager apologized and offered him a free meal as compensation for the inconvenience he had with the fried rat.
KFC defended themselves by saying that Dixon is misleading the public and that the object in question is just a piece of breaded chicken.
KFC also said that they tried contacting Dixon but he refused to talk directly or through an attorney.
"A customer has made a serious claim against KFC and refuses to cooperate in the investigation," KFC said in a statement sent to The Huffington Post. "Based on this, and the fact that he refuses to allow anyone to see the product, we are left to believe that he intended to deceive the public with this hoax and we are considering all options."
"Our chicken tenders often vary in size and shape and this just happened to be an oddly shaped one," KFC spokesman Rodrigo Coronel told HuffPost in an email. He emailed the following image, which zooms in on a photo from Dixon's Instagram account.SOURCE
