'Hero & Legend' Who Ate Free KFC For A Year After Posing As Food Quality Officer, Arrested

A 27-year-old man has turned into a overnight social media sensation for his free loading tactic.

The man, a student from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, spun a very convincing story about being a food quality officer and tricked employees at KFC.

And he did it from multiple KFC outlets and ate free fried chicken for a whole year!?

A KFC staff was quoted by Xpouzar as saying, "When he arrived we would all try to act our best so that we didn't piss off the man from head office - he was so convincing because he was so confident, and even colleagues from other branches of KFC know him."

Xpouzar reported the man’s friend is a part-time limousine driver who served as a good accomplice for the crime. The story was first shared online by Kenyan journalist Teddy Eugene.

It might have been a cheap shot in getting free food, but people can't stop lauding his confidence in pulling off the stunt for a whole year!?
