Chick-fil-A vs. fall

A Chick-fil-A claim, as heard in a commercial: “It gets you nice and excited for fall.”

Chick-fil-A, you’re ful-A it.

What gets me excited for fall? Fall itself, due to arrive, or having arrived, or preparing to depart. The season itself is its own prime mover.

I’ll quote something I wrote in a 2013 post: “Fall is the most beautiful and most poignant of seasons. The beauty of fall is the beauty of things fading away.”

I love fall!

Was chic-fil-a advertising pumpkin-spice fried chicken?

I wasn’t listening to the TV, not watching, but I don’t think so. The Google sells they’re trying out iced Pumpkin Pie Latte in Georgia.

The temperature hit 89° today, so it’s still only a calendrical fall.
