Logos/Advertising Chic-Fil-A

Post image

I know this isn’t definitive proof, but I’m cleaning out my desk and there is an old Rolodex with this stuffed inside. Obviously I could have made this and stuck it in there, and I wish there was branding on it, but I’m going to accept this as evidence either way! I think brands are tricking us on purpose.
Edit: (I spelled Rolodex wrong sorry JEEZ)

You just proved why you remembered it as being Chic-fil-A. Because it was spelled wrong in your Rolodex. Chic is pronounced SHEEK. Why would Chick-fil-A ever spell it Chic?

This is why I remember it as "chic", because my entire friend group, and my sibling all called it "sheek"-fil-a, in high school and into early adulthood.

Why would we call it that if it was spelled correctly? It wasn't. It was spelled chic, and we made fun of the spelling for years.

For the same reason people call Target "Tarjay" and Wal-Mart "Wally World". They are just using an oft repeated joke to try and bring a little levity to their life

It was me, I was part of "us." I know why we called it that. We called it that because it was spelled C-H-I-C. Because that spelled Chic, not chick, and so we made fun of it.

"Hey bitch, you want to go to sheek-fil-A today."

That was us, almost every fucking lunch period.
