KFC is going to pay $11,000 to someone who has a baby on September 9th, but they’re not handing that money to just anyone. The chicken chain is planning to award that amount to the college fund of the first baby named Harland who’s born on that day.
So why are they doing this? The baby naming promo is in honor of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders’ 128th birthday. He was born on September 9th and the company wants to help move the name Harland up on the list of the most popular baby names, while honoring their founder. As for the $11-grand they’ll be donating to new baby Harland, that amount comes from KFC’s 11 herbs and spices, naturally.
