People love the ad, yet @ChickenRepublic allowed a rabid irrational group of cheerleaders of Yam eaters let them pull it off. We saved it!

I'm not going to Chicken Republic because; 1. Their food is crap, 2. Their menu is unimaginative & 3. They are a cheap imitation of KFC.

It seems Chicken republic was eventually bullied to take down the ad...
Dear @ChickenRepublic shame on you for taking down that ad. Ask your Adeola Odeku branch how much I spend there. You just lost a customer.
