Here's the Challenge: I will donate an additional $1.00 for each post up to 250 posts telling us what your favorite Chick-Fil-A menu item is. I've never eaten there but I'll dang sure be on Wednesday. This thread is created to help Free Republic keep the lights on as well as help me choose what to order on 8-1-2012! Come on FReepers, don't be CHICKEN!!
p.s. I DOUBLE-DOG dare any Freeper to match the dare at any set figure from one buck on up.
Let's Roll!
Thanks for ping Mamzelle. Bump to Tim Scott, a true conservative. I don’t know who manages his ping list.
After that photo, I’d like to say Todd Palin; however, since he’s unavailable, I’ll have a Spicy Chicken Sandwich and peach shake. Thanks a lot.
I had no idea. Fantastic info Mamzelle!
How many $$ are you up to now? Seems like a lot :)
Taking a quick look at the thread I’m probably about 50%.
The chicken salad sandwich, lemonade and their ice dream, very good.
Can't back down from a triple-dog dare... I'll match the final total up to $250 as well.
Woo Hoo!!!
Slim just checked back in folks! Thanks a ton Slim!
This amounts to a entire renewal of the thread challenge! If anybody sees others talking about CFA please send them to the Challenge thread.
IT'S ON LIKE A CHICKEN BONE!!!
It doesn't any easier to donate to the Freepathon than this people!
Thanks again Tijeras_Slim !!!
Houeto: In case you missed my post since I posted it to the wrong person, I said: “After that photo, I’d like to say Todd Palin; however, since he’s unavailable, I’ll have a Spicy Chicken Sandwich and peach shake. Thanks a lot.”
Can’t wait to move back south and have access to Chick-Fil-A again, now more than ever! I always liked their food but especially their values. I hope their profits soar now. Thank you for doing this!
Woo Hoo!!!Slim just checked back in folks! Thanks a ton Slim!

Your cardiologist advocates doing things that make him rich.
You have diabetes from using margarine, and polyunsaturated vegetable oils. They cause your cells to become water-proof, so the sugar can’t get into them to be burned.
Type 2 diabetes causes weight gain, which tends to discourage physical activity; a viscious circle.

P.S.
Junk science is exactly what your cardio and dietician are handing out; it makes them and big pharma astoundingly rich, while fulfilling the UN Agenda 21 call to kill off 2/3 of the world’s population.
My pleasure!
Great, now I’m having a Partridge Family flashback.
Free Range Republic!
I like!
Thank you for the links. I will print them out and discuss then with my cardiologist when I see him in October.
Just so you know: the cardiologist is pre-eminent in his field, and my dietician is no slouch in her profession either. However, they are both traditionalists who are slow to embrace the latest fads unless they can verify the effectiveness of new discoveries through extensive, reputable studies.
I don’t believe either will give me bad advice that will harm me. I believe that following their advice has saved and prolonged my life. BTW, I doubt the cardiologist is getting rich off me since he sees me twice a year. And thanks to Obamacare, he will probably retire because the bureaucracy and reimbursements won’t make practicing medicine financially worthwhile.
I know we’re over the 250 limit but my favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich.
Chicken wraps.
My wife likes the CFA Chicken salad sandwich and I usually get the origional (OBTW...I’ll take the Pickles from the ‘Hold the Pickle’ folks upthread!!).
When they have their Chocolate Chip Mint shakes (usually around Christmas), DON’T MISS GETTING ONE!!!
Also, for folks that do not have a Chick-Fil-A nearby or those with diet issues, you can still show your support by purchasing some of their Chick-Fil-A gift merchandise!!
Here’s the link!!

God I loved that sandwich! I don't know why they ever got rid of it.
The more “pre-eminent” your cardio is, the more your health is in danger. You have to educate yourself, and take full responsibility for your own health.
Conquer your blood sugar and all your other issues will be gone Go here for that: http://www.cancertutor.com/Diabetes/Diabetes_Type_II.htm
The premises of mainstream medicine are straight from the heart of Mystery Babylon.
Fred and Alice Ottoboni are well educated, unbiased true scientists that are not beholden to a failed medical system. Their findings are from empirical evidence, not motivation to profit from the misery of others.
N Shore mall is in Peabody off rt 128
Sure, but without the biscuit, LOL!
I’ll match you for 50 posts. $50 to the ‘thon! When do I pay?
All of their wraps are good. And they are BIG! Tons of chicken, lettuce, come with different dressings. I like em all.
No, we're not over 250. Unlike yours, many of these posts don't mention a favorite menu item, so they don't count toward the total.
Here's the menu:

Latecomers to this thread: Post your favorite Chick-Fil-A menu item to raise money for FR!
I'm not sure how to even respond to this post. LMAO!! Thank you for your support Mom!
Buuuuump!
No we're not. Thanks for the post. The only posts that count are the ones that tell me their favorite! The rest don't count. We're only about half way over!!!
I bought their stainless steel water bottle with their logo on it and will carry it wherever I go. Will be in the area of one tomorrow and will buy my favorite - the spicy chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and iced tea and buy something else to take home to have their chicken on Wednesday.
I know how to get there, I suppose I think it’s Salem, ‘cause I drive past it going to Salem’s Essex-Peabody Museum.
The only posts that count are those that give a fave menu item. We crossed that number about 30 hours ago, so you can go ahead and tell Jim any time you're ready!
Woo Hoo!!! Thanks a ton TheOldLady!!!
Thanks TChad. I shouild have been more clear in my original post. We're still a ways off from 250, as you said.
Not sure who Jim Robonson is in post #290 but please check it out...LOL!
Done!
Thank you, houeto, for hosting this great challenge!
Great idea, cs. I’ll do same.
I will be having a deluxe chicken sandwich and strawberry shake on Wed 8/1/2012, even though it will blow my diet. You have do the right thing even if it hurts! LOL

You’re welcome, dear.
Contra Costa FReepers, please note: A new Chick-Fil-A will be opening on Main Street in Walnut Creek on September 20th. At that time, the so-called “tolerant” folks of the area that demand equal rights for themselves at our expense will be protesting the opening. The reason seems to be solely because Chick-Fil-A gives money to groups that don’t espouse their ideas. For details, see the “Walnut Creek Patch” (online local newspaper) article at the URL below:

Sausage biscuit. Too bad they don’t serve breakfast all day.
