Hungry and in need of a quick and tasty boost, but resources are tight? KFC knows how hard it is to fill up your belly on a budget and is helping Canadians coast to coast with the brand new $5 Fill-Up meal - four tasty meal options including a choice of entrée, drink and dessert, all for just $5.00! There's nothing else like it, providing the quality, variety and value Canadians are craving.

"We pride ourselves on providing our customers with value and options, for a tasty low price," says Mike Van Horne, Marketing Director, KFC Canada. "The $5 Fill-Up is KFC's newest meal deal and we wanted to give our fans options to make their lives a little easier and more enjoyable!"

To celebrate the Canadian launch of the $5 Fill-Up, KFC and Colonel Sanders himself presented Canadian consumers with two fun and exciting experiences that put a special spark in their days.

$5 Fill-Ups: Making everyday special!

To kick-off the launch of its newest meal deal, KFC brought Colonel Sanders himself to Canada to share in the fun. Fans at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, Ontario, were ecstatic to see the Colonel show up at the YouTube FanFest, flocking over to meet and take their photo with him as he provided KFC $5 Fill-Up gift vouchers to hungry and happy patrons.

Then, on Wednesday May 6, KFC took over a full service gas station to offer a unique fill-up opportunity for drivers. Appearing pump-side, KFC employees surprised and delighted people by filling up their cars, for free, and providing them with KFC gift cards so they could enjoy a $5 Fill-Up meal at a local KFC restaurant! KFC captured consumers' elated reactions and fill-up experience - check out the video on KFC Canada's Facebook page here.

KFC is going even further to fill-up their fans with a unique online social contest called "KFC's 21-Day Giveaway #FillUpfor5" on Facebook, that gives fans the chance to fill up on items to create their own special moments and experiences. Through KFC Canada's Facebook page, fans can win daily tech, entertainment and adventure-themed prizes and gear, by commenting on their version of the 'Top 5' list of the day - top five movie picks of the summer, top five apps, top five travel must-haves and more.

High-end prizing includes tech gadgets such as a GoPro & Go Pole, Beats By Dre Headphones, an Ipad Mini; entertainment gift cards such as Cineplex, Netflix and Amazon; and a slew of adventure prizes such as a Hershel Gear set and Ray Ban Sunglasses.

This three week, 21 day program, starts on Tuesday May 12, 2015.
