KFC Asks Pope To Bless Sandwich

KFC mailed a letter to Pope Benedict XVI in early February asking him to bestow a blessing upon the 99 cent KFC Fish Snacker. This is a move to boost sales during Lent and snag business from Catholics on the go. In the letter to the Vicar of Christ, the president of KFC wrote:

We beseech you to grant your seal of approval for this innovative menu item, as your blessing on this endeavor would do much to promote this sandwich as a way for members of your flock to keep a holy Lenten season, while still leading their busy, modern lifestyles.

As of yet, the Pope has not replied. Certainly, blessing this fast food sandwich is more towards the middle of his to do list.

The KFC Fish Snacker is the first fish item on the chicken chain's menu. Good luck with that, KFC!
