Something seems wrong about this promo. Usually 150k people would have already signed up by now, especially with ESPN advertising and several commercials.

I can't recall if previous Chick-fill-A promos stopped allowing users to sign up when the max. had been met, or if the website just kept letting people sign up even though those entries would later be discarded?

I haven't signed up for the promo.. mostly because I have no use for a 2 inch cow, but may I ask why the promo would fill up so quickly?

Do that many people take the time to go on the internet (after seeing an ad on TV) to get a cow. I can certainly understand wanting the cow, but 150,000 people seems alot to me.

Received my cow yesterday. It's about 5" and comes with a free milkshake certificate (with purchase of sandwich and Dasani water). Had thought the cow would be a bit larger but maybe I didn't read the fine print. In any case, it's fine for the amount of effort I put in to get it, and either my son or my dog will have fun with it.

Why would anyone BUY this???

I got mine last week. I let it sit in the catnip container for a few days and now it's kitty's favorite new toy de jour.

I think it must have been a leftover give away from a sports event. The cow is wearing a red glove that says "2006 Bowl" and it's tee shirt says " Chic Fil A BOWL, ACC vs SEC, Atlanta, Georgia".


It's very cute. Thanks for the OP for letting us know about it. ^

Actually, if you'd use the milkshake coupon, and can buy the thing for less than the milkshake costs, including shipping, it's not a horrible deal. Not something I'd do, but...

While the cow was, well, gladly given away to a co-worker for her child, the free milkshake was a plus for me. AND, was allowed to get it with a combo meal, as opposed to ordering the sandwich & dasani water. Nice.

There was a joke when I was a schoolkid about a blank piece of paper presented as a work of art entitled "cows eating grass" or something similar.

Where's the grass?
The cows ate it all.
So where are the cows?
They all left because there was no more grass to eat.

That's what my results from this freebie are looking like about now.
