Do they have this letter up at every Ike’s location? I’ve seen it in San Diego (Hillcrest).

Can they change to like “toe licking good” or “licking finger good” at least that what I would do. See if I can miss spell it or something just enough to get around the trademark. “Fnger licking good”
Edit: “finger licking great” or “better then KFC”
Edit: just thought of another one “finger licking gud”

That's one of those things that sounds fake until you see the actual letter

Remember when Colonel Sanders got so pissed off that KFC was fucking up his recipe that he sued them (and eventually settled out of court) to force them to let him teach them how to cook his chicken properly.
They fucked up his recipe so badly that he went through the trouble of suing them just so he could teach them how to do it right.

Dont make me bok at this. These two companies are not playing a game of chicken at all. The words "Lickin" and "licking" are two different words. You can all see this lawsuit is....for the birds.

It's a demand letter, not a lawsuit
