Chick-fil-a flies a hot air ballon into random areas in my city every Saturday to hand out free breakfast

    1. *Flies*?

      I was not aware you could actually land a hot air balloon with the precision needed to set it down in the middle of the street.

      I’d rather assume they hauled it there deflated, and inflated it in the street.

    2. Yeah it looks super random with the transport trailers, merch tables, and literal carpet laid out for them.

      So… Was Chick Fil A the homophobic one or was that a different US fast food chain?

    4. This is kinda cool until they park in front of my house and I can’t get out of my damn driveway lol

      I guess I’d rather they waste money on hot air ballooning than sending it to lobbyists for hate groups

    6. Imagine being blackout drunk on Friday night, waking up with a vicious hangover next to a naked stranger. You think to yourself “This is the last time, I swear to God I’ll never drink again.” You sneak out the front door to and the Lord’s chicken balloon comes from the heavens to bring you chicken minis, hash browns, and a coffee.

      Idk about you, but I would probably start going to church cause God heard my ass.

    7. Headline should read: Large national chain uses anti competitive practices to destroy small local restaurants

    8. I’ve seen this same style balloon several times since moving to Albuquerque. Also, I’m geeking out over that 80 series Toyota Land Cruiser in the pic!

      This seems like the most practical way to hand out free breakfast on a Saturday.
      Nothing unusual about it.

      this would actually heal something in me 😭 like imagine randomly seeing a giant chicken balloon floating into your neighborhood and suddenly you’re getting free breakfast… i’d wake up every saturday like a kid on christmas just waiting to hear that thing coming

    11. That’s gotta be annoying AF to have these “my pleasure” peddlers roll up outta the sky.

      I think this is just a way to avoid pissing off the locals because those things have very little control over where they land. When my wife and I took a hot air balloon ride, we were forced to land in the suburbs when we missed about 7 other landing attempts. We landed in a street and the balloon gift-wrapped an entire house. Those people could only see out their back door for about 30 minutes while they pulled in the balloon. Some of the neighbors were not happy at all. We completely blocked their street and likely killed a small tree on the way in. It gave me an entirely new perspective on those things and I’ll certainly never ride on one again.
