Today, crowds of customers waited for more than an hour at a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) location in Atlanta, GA to sample vegan Beyond Fried Chicken. KFC painted its Cobb Parkway location in Smyrna bright green and erected a Beyond Fried Chicken billboard to promote its vegan chicken options—which drew crowds that wrapped around two city blocks and bumper-to-bumper cars that looped twice around the drive-thru.
今天,为了抢先试吃到纯素的“超越炸鸡”(Beyond Fried Chicken),一群群的顾客在佐治亚州亚特兰大的肯德基(KFC)分店足足等了一个多小时。肯德基用鲜绿色装扮其位于士麦那市(Smyrna)科布大道(Cobb Parkway)的快餐厅,并树立了一块“超越炸鸡”广告牌来促销其纯素鸡肉替代品──由此吸引了大批顾客前来一尝为快,排队长龙整整围绕了两个街区,首尾相接的汽车也在得来速餐厅(Drive-Thru)外绕了两大圈。
The limited-time promotion featured vegan nuggets and wings made with specially formulated chicken by vegan brand Beyond Meat. KFC sold out of the vegan options in five hours with customers buying the equivalent of what KFC sells of its popcorn chicken in one week.
这次限时优惠主推纯素鸡块和鸡翅,产品材料采用纯素品牌公司超越肉类(Beyond Meat)专门配制的纯素鸡肉。肯德基的这些纯素产品在五小时内被热情的顾客们抢购而空,相当于售出了肯德基平时一个星期的劲爆鸡米花销量。
“The lines are out the door, and the verdict is that the vegan fried chicken is worth the hype,” nonprofit The Humane League posted on Instagram. Observing the excitement, Instagrammer Trahvae Freraire said, “The people are here in droves. I said droves!”
“餐厅门外是熙熙攘攘的排队长龙,评价是纯素炸鸡值得大力宣传推广,”非营利组织人道联盟(The Humane League)在照片墙(Instagram)上发言。看到这一兴奋场面后,照片墙用户Trahvae Freraire说道:“成群结队的人们来到这里。我说的是成群结队!”
Those who made it inside the store posted glowing reviews of Beyond Fried Chicken, including nutritionist Whitney Miner who said, “These taste more like fried chicken than any of the other options that I’ve tried so I really hope that they make these available nationwide and very soon.”
有幸试吃到“超越炸鸡”的顾客们也对之发表了热烈好评,其中营养师Whitney Miner说道:“跟我以往尝试过的其他任何替代品相比,这些食品的味道更像炸鸡,所以我真的希望这些产品能够很快供应到全国各地。”
KFC will consider a national rollout of the vegan option based on the feedback it receives from customers today.
肯德基将根据今天顾客的反馈意见,考虑进一步在全国推广纯素产品。
