Weirdest BBC News headline and news story ever?
Former Chick-fil-A employee charged in $80,000 mac-and-cheese scheme
Speak English! What the hell is Chick-fil-A?! What is mac-and-cheese??!
Still, at least they give us a quick dietary lesson in the process of reporting this global story.
US media named the suspect as 23-year-old Keyshun Jones. Records show he is currently in custody at Green Bay prison in Forth Worth, Texas. The New York Times reported that Jones’s lawyer declined to comment.
The Chick-fil-A catering menu lists the cost of a large tray of its mac-and-cheese at around $100 depending on location. The number of calories in the baked macaroni dish, which features three types of cheese, is almost 10,000 (40,000 kilojoules).
The Beeb goes into careful thoughtful detail.
CCTV footage shows the man wearing a brown puffer vest, blue jeans and backwards white cap, not the chain’s branded red polo uniform.
What is this “puffer vest” of which you speak? On the one hand they chat knowingly about mac and cheese and on the other hand they rave about a “puffer vest”.
The BBC has contacted Chick-fil-A’s media office for comment.
Good good good. Let us know what they say.
