A tunnel that stretches from a former Kentucky Fried Chicken in Arizona all the way to a home in Mexico was discovered last week by investigators, who believe the secret passageway was used for drug smuggling, KSWT reports.

Homeland Security Investigations said the tunnel was discovered on August 13, after the owner of the former KFC, Ivan Lopez, was pulled over by the San Luis Police Department. A canine unit alerted officers to two toolboxes in Lopez' truck. Inside the boxes, authorities say they found 118 kilograms of methamphetamine, six grams of cocaine, three kilograms of fentanyl, 13 kilograms of white heroin, and six kilograms of brown heroin. The fentanyl alone equaled three million dosage units, HSI's Special Agent in Charge Scott Brown said.

Earlier that day, Lopez was seen removing toolboxes from the old KFC. He is the owner of the building that once served as the fast food restaurant.

Those criminals were really evil. Not only did they smuggle drugs. They forced the chickens to dig the tunnel.

How silly - chickens don’t dig tunnels.

I’m guessing you don’t know much about chickens. Plant an egg in the earth, and in about 8 weeks you’ll see what the photograph is clearly showing you. A chicken growing out of the ground. That one looks ready to be given a helping hand and plucked out the rest of the way.

I thought my chicken sandwich tasted funny, only I can’t remember where I bought it, location or in what state.

I’m going to Wendy’s from now on.
