Thank you in advance for considering my idea for a new product line.
I appreciated your consideration of my most recently submitted Burger King tag line “We’ve been microwaving your food since the 1970’s” and I have the framed rejection letter hanging on the wall of my cubicle at work.
I am a great admirer of your Coq Roq advertising campaign and I have a humble, albeit likely very popular and profitable, addition to suggest.
If you can make formed chicken pieces into luscious fried sticks and call them “Chicken Fries” why not tie in a second new product and explode the formed chicken market?
Here’s the pitch: formed circles of chicken, breaded, fried and served like your onion rings. Here’s the hook: call them -
COQ RINGS!
Now there’s an advertising gimmick sure to draw international attention: free publicity while FOXNews and MSNBC pundits ask about morality and decency.
I predict you will overtake the dreaded M-word and again reign as the true King of Burgers.
Thank you again for your time.

Pretty soon they will have to kill their second cow.

Don't forget me when you are the rich and famous coq ring king.

John: hilarious
Hotpants: yes, bad bad bad I hate burger king anyway
J-bro: personally, i would get my coq rings without sauce, but you do what you like
xTx: thank you
Lois: Oh, to be the Coq Ring King. Just to have someone ask someone else "Who's Eric" and have the response be "um, I think he, like, invented the Coq Ring." Magical
Old Guy: thank you, they never would I'm surprised they even got Coq Roq past any of their screener groups
Burger King: okay, i cut and pasted that out of their site when i found they dont accept email messages.
