New York grandmother sues KFC for $20M over finding $20 bucket half full
Ann Wurtzburger, a 64-year-old grandmother, is suing KFC for $20 million for false advertising after she bought a $20 bucket of chicken and was shocked when she brought it home to find that it was half empty.
“I came home and said, ‘Where’s the chicken?’ I thought I was going to have a couple of meals,” Wurtzburger told the New York Post.
“They’re showing a bucket that’s overflowing with chicken. You get half a bucket! That’s false advertising, and it doesn’t feed the whole family. They’re small pieces!”

KFC countered by saying that the advertisements for the bucket showed a full bucket so that customers could see the chicken, but Wurtzburger is still suing.
“It’s the principle of the matter,” Wurtzburger told CBS. “Sometimes you gotta hit people where they feel the hurt. For me, a corporation like that — would be in the pocketbook.”
