Outside the United States

In 2018 KFC's Australian operations offered the chance to win free fried chicken for a year. The contest was entered by making social-media posts stating reasons why the entrant deserved the prize. The winning entry was by a 19-year-old who, together with her friend, got the KFC corporate logotype tattooed on her foot. The day is traditionally observed on July 7 in Australia out of respect for the time zone of origin.
