KFC sues over 8-legged Mutant Fried Chicken rumor

Back when KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken there were rumors floating around that some hungry customer bit into what they thought was a piece of chicken only to find a juicy fried rat underneath the golden crust. The sensational story was eventually debunked by Snopes, but that didn't stop new rumors from flaring up, including one of the most recent stories spread by three different companies in China, who claimed on social media that KFC's mutant chickens had 6 wings and 8 legs. Today KFC filed a lawsuit against these companies, demanding $242,000 and an apology.
