KFC ripped off a woman who ordered the bountiful bucket of chicken she saw on TV, but got a measly 8-piece instead ... according to her new lawsuit.
The New York woman told us her story ... she went into a KFC and paid 20 bucks for the "Family Fill Up" deal -- expecting an overflowing feast -- but got cheated. She contacted KFC about the false advertising and a rep offered her a coupon for her troubles ... but she told them to eat it.
Instead, she wants the restaurant chain to pay her $20 MILLION ... though she admits that number might be a tad high -- for a good reason.
A KFC spokesperson tells us ... they've got this one in the bucket.
A Hudson Valley woman is finger lickin’ mad at Kentucky Fried Chicken, claiming its understuffed buckets are for the birds.
Anna Wurtzburger, of Hopewell Junction, says she bought a $20 bucket of chicken from KFC over the summer and was disappointed to find it looked much different than what’s in the chain’s ads.
“I came home and said, ‘Where’s the chicken?’ I thought I was going to have a couple of meals,” she told The Post.
“They say it feeds the whole family … They’re showing a bucket that’s overflowing with chicken,” the 64-year-old widow griped. “You get half a bucket! That’s false advertising, and it doesn’t feed the whole family. They’re small pieces!”
Wurtzburger rang up the fast-food giant’s Georgia headquarters to complain, and was told the chicken was portrayed prominently on the commercial “so that the public could see the chicken.”
“If you want the public to look at your chicken, put it in a dish,” she fumed. “It’s a lot of BS. … I expect to get what you’re telling me.”
Putting her money where her hungry mouth is, Wurtzburger hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit, demanding KFC change its advertising.
She also returned two gift certificates the company sent her as a mea culpa.
“You know what commercial they should put on? You remember the movie, ‘Oliver’?” she said. “It was about the little boy growing up in the orphanages and he was hungry and he goes to the man, ‘Can I have some more?’ ”
Retired from the Fishkill Correction Facility, Wurtzburger lives off her Social Security check and said the KFC meal was supposed to be a rare treat.
The grandmother seeks $20 million in damages. KFC called the lawsuit “meritless.”
Jury awards her $20M, judge says "Whoa. Way too much." and reduces it $5M. On appeal, it's reduced to a paltry $1M.
Crazy cat lady confirmed...
Why no one sues Homedepot & Lowe's when all 2" x 4" lumbers are actually just 1.5" x 3.5"
Customers have been cheated for centuries!
But twenty bucks for that? You gotta be kidding.KFC’s Extra Crispy $20 Fill Up™ has 8 pieces of crunchy Extra Crispy™ chicken, a large cole slaw, 4 biscuits and 2 large mashed potatoes and gravy to keep those friends feeling satisfied.

Not only that, but they've been selling tools labeled as "Tool only, battery pack not included" without batteries!!!
Wonder why ViperXX did not sue Homedepot when he build his shed?
You probably miss the delicious trans fats...Coincidentally, I went there a few days ago for the first time in a couple years. The chicken was greasy(more than usual/expected), and the potatoes tasted funny. I was just not gonna go back, but suing might work out for my retirement plan.
They should pay her in unwrapped pennies.I would have been happy with the coupons.
My last meal wasn't finger-lickin' good, so I guess I'm owed $30 million?
