Chick-fil-A is handing out free fries and nuggets for the next few weeks... here's what you have to do
The restaurant chain is giving its customers the chance to win free items through the game, which launched on July 15.
Code Moo features three weeks of missions to win offerings like medium waffle fries, chocolate chunk cookies, and five-piece chicken nuggets.
Fans who play the game can select one of three Chick-fil-A cow characters to try and break into the Circus Burger headquarters.
If their character outruns the game's security guards, a free food reward will be added to their Chick-fil-A accounts, which they have one week redeem.
Chick-fil-A's younger customers can also enjoy a four-minute digital short dubbed 'Udder Chaos' and listen to the all-new Cow Tales podcast on the chain's app.
Fans interested in celebrating this cow-tastic event after the summer season can purchase an item from Chick-fil-A's new Cow Collection merchandise. The line includes cow-themed shirts, bags, towels, hats, and a pickle-ball set.
With over 3,000 US locations, Chick-fil-A continues to be one of the fastest-growing fast-food chains, topping ASCIs list of favorite quick-service restaurants.
Chick-fil-A brought back popular offerings and introduced new ones over the last few months.
The chain's popular Peach Milkshake made its triumphant return in June for its 16th year in a row.
A Peach Frosted Lemonade debuted on the same day, which Chick-fil-A said 'delivers a taste of summer with every sip.'
The company is also advertising its limited-time Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages, which received high praise from customers when they dropped on its spring menu.
While Chick-fil-A is considered one of the nation's unhealthiest fast food restaurants, it's been busy testing new sandwiches and nuggets at participating locations in Utah, Florida, and Missouri.
The new items follow the chain's decision to dial back its 'No Antibiotics Ever' pledge while maintaining its 2026 cage-free egg goal.
The company racked in over $22 billion in revenue last year, one of three to reach that milestone.
This year's revenue is expected to be higher, and its expansion into the Asian Market in Singapore could help them do that.

Chick-fil-A is one of three fast food chains to hit $20 billion in revenue last year
McDonald's also reached the $20 billion revenue total in 2024 despite this year's first quarter sales drop.
It was one of the first chains to challenge competitors this summer by extending its operating hours and heavily promoting the return of its beloved snack wrap.
Wendy's and Burger King jumped in with limited-time offers for rewards members before McDonald's clapped back with its spicy breakfast sandwiches.
The summer beverage battles have been just as lively after Starbucks brought back its Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers.

Star Trek legend William Shatner discovers powerful new way to live forever
A groundbreaking program has now made it possible to preserve your life stories and wisdom, allowing you to speak to loved ones decades into the future. StoryFile, an innovative AI company, has developed lifelike, interactive 3D avatars that allow people to 'live on' after death, sharing memories and answering questions in the same natural and conversational manner of a real person. Individuals like philanthropist Michael Staenberg, 71, and Star Trek star William Shatner, 94, have used StoryFile to immortalize both their experiences and personalities. Staenberg, a property developer and philanthropist who has given away more than $850 million, said: 'I hope to pass my knowledge on, and the good I've created.' The technology captures video interviews, transforming them into hologram-style avatars that use generative AI, similar to ChatGPT, to respond dynamically to questions. StoryFile's avatars have been employed in museums since 2021 to preserve the voices of historical figures like WWII veterans and Holocaust survivors, and by terminally ill individuals to connect with family after death. Until now, the company has offered a premium service costing tens of thousands of dollars, but a new, affordable app launching this summer will allow everyday people to record their own AI avatars for less than the cost of a monthly cellphone plan. Staenberg added that he'd like to imagine other business people and family members still having a chance to interact with him 30 years from now. 'It's important to get my version so the details aren't forgotten. I've had quite a crazy life, so I'd have a lot of stories that I don't want people to forget,' Staenberg said. More than 2,000 users have used the previous version. However, the new Storyfile app will allow users to interview themselves on video and create an intelligent avatar they can keep adding chapters to as they answer more questions about their lives. Previously, the Storyfile avatars could understand the intent of people talking to them, but could only respond with pre-recorded video answers. Storyfile's newer AI avatars will be able to generate an answer based on the persona from the recorded interviews, and it will be able to approximate an answer to any question. The company has gotten a huge number of daily queries from people who have been diagnosed with terminal illness and who hope to preserve their legacy in an avatar. Storyfile CEO Alex Quinn said: 'Every day we'll get very sad and heart-wrenching emails, saying things like "My son was just diagnosed with terminal cancer."' Others have expressed fear over their parents aging, asking for a way to keep their memories intact for the future. Quinn added that Storyfile would never be able to accommodate all those requests if they had to send their video production team to all of those customers. The solution was to make a 'DIY' version, where people record their own answers to an AI 'interviewer' using the app - answering questions on everything from their career to their family to their tastes in food. The app will come with 'permanent cold storage' so that avatars remain safe once recorded, and users can keep adding new video and new information. Quinn admitted that because Storyfile avatars use generative AI there is a possibility it could initially say 'crazy' stuff, but noted that the replica of the person will become more and more realistic the more users speak to the program. 'It's almost like an AI FaceTime where you're interviewed by an AI interviewer, and it's able to probe and go deep on certain topics,' the CEO said. 'If you've got a couple days, or you've got free time, and you want to understand your question every now and then, you're just going to keep on adding to your digital memories, and it's going to get more and more sophisticated, more and more personalized,' he continued. Tech pioneers such as inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil have already used AI to recreate lost relatives. Kurzweil created a 'dad bot' based on information about his father Fred in 2016. The 'Fredbot' could converse with Kurzweil, revealing that what his father loved about topics like gardening. It even remembered his father's belief that the meaning of life was love. 'I actually had a conversation with him, which felt a lot like talking to him,' Kurzweil told Rolling Stone Magazine in 2023. He believed that some form of his dad bot AI would be released to the public one day, enabling everyone to stay in touch with their dead relatives from beyond the grave. 'We'll be able to actually create something like a large language model that really represents somebody else by having enough information,' he predicted.

Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay's ex-fling DISSES her new tell-all memoir
Scheana Shay 's former fling, Jesse Metcalfe, dismissed her new tell-all memoir in an interview this weekend. While speaking with Us Weekly on Saturday, Jesse said he has not read her new book. The tome, titled My Good Side, was published on July 22 and contains never-before-heard stories from the former Vanderpump Rules star, 40. Scheana writes about her fleeting romance with the 46-year-old heartthrob inside the pages of her tell-all, but the release was apparently not on his radar until very recently. 'I just became aware of the book, like, a couple days ago,' Jesse claimed to the publication. 'So, no, I haven't read it yet.' When the reality TV personality dated the actor in 2007, she said 'it felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I'd watched on TV and in movies for years.' According to Us Weekly, Scheana also wrote that she had a 'great time' during their romance. 'Our relationship didn't happen right away. Soon after we first met, he went to rehab, so we started hanging out often only after he finished,' she claimed. Scheana wrote that Metcalfe took her on a date to the Cloverfield red carpet premiere. 'I then spent my 22nd birthday at dinner with him. I vividly remember sticking to water and Red Bull all night as a way of supporting his sobriety,' she noted. Despite not having read her book, Jesse said he appreciates that Scheana spoke positively about him. 'It's always nice when people speak highly of you,' he told the outlet. 'It's better than people speaking ill of you.' Days earlier, the entertainer reacted to his former flame mentioning him when she appeared as a guest on Tori Spelling's MisSpelling podcast. 'She spoke highly of me, which was nice. [It was a] long time ago, 20 years ago. We were dating. I mean, it was — overall — it was pretty brief, but we were seeing each other on a regular basis,' he said, per Us Weekly. At the time, Jesse quipped that he's made it a point to keep Scheana's memoir 'away' from his current girlfriend, Helene Immel, whom he's been seeing since 2023. Back in January, Scheana announced her literary effort and said readers could expect 'tea' on her ex-boss Lisa Vanderpump. Another relationship mentioned in My Good Side is Schena's alleged affair with actor Eddie Cibrian in 2006 — which occurred while he was married to future Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville. Shay claims in the pages of My Good Side that Vanderpump knew more about the alleged situation with Cibrian than she initially let on. The Bravo star claims Vanderpump purposefully put her and Glanville together on screen in a Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills episode in order to 'launch [Vanderpump's] TV empire' — which includes the RHOBH spinoff series Vanderpump Rules and Vanderpump Villa.

EXCLUSIVE It was supposed to make train travel easier but horrors of deadly Amtrak crash still haunts passengers
It was supposed to be a day of celebration for passengers aboard the Amtrak Cascades 501 train as it traveled on its first day of a new rail route in Washington State until disaster struck that left three people dead and 70 injured. Quincy Linton, now 20, was sitting on the train on his way to visit his sister and meet his newborn niece. In one moment, he was enjoying the ride and in the next sprawled out on the train tracks dazed, bloodied and wounded. The 12-car train careened off the overpass during the busy morning rush hour traffic onto Interstate 5 crushing eight vehicles - five cars and two semi-trucks - causing a chaotic and horrific scene filled with police, firefighters and emergency responders. Seventy-seven passengers were aboard the train including five Amtrak workers and a Talgo, Inc. technician. Linton's story of survival is part of a new weekly limited series produced by NBC News Studios, Survival Mode that is slated to air on July 28. 'I remember being on the ground. Rocks falling from the train and the train dangling down. I see blood gushing down onto my hands onto my shoes onto my ground. I was just telling myself, 'I want to go to sleep,'' he said in an exclusive clip shared with Daily Mail ahead of the show airing. 'I remember some lady that came to pick me up. She was just telling me, don't go to sleep. Stay up.' She told me, 'I'm strong. Stay up. I was asking her where my dad's at?' Each episode of Survival Mode focuses on a different disaster with firsthand accounts from survivors and rare archival footage. The Maui wildfires, the Joplin Tornado, Superstorm Sandy, and the sinking of the Costa Concordia are among the disasters featured in the series. Good Samaritan Tanya Porter was driving home after her shift as a nurse and immediately rushed to the scene to help those caught in the mangled train. 'There was a gentlemen laying the ground underneath the train that was dangling. I went over. I was trying to assess what was going on. And people are yelling at me to move out of the way because they're still fuel on the ground. It's not safe,' she recalled in the new show nearly eight years after the horror. She told emergency responders, 'Wait, we can't leave these people here. There are several other people on the ground underneath the train. So we can't just leave them here. If the train falls, they'll be gone.' Preliminary information from the data recorder showed that, the train was traveling at 78 mph nearly 50 mph over the speed limit in the 30 mile per hour zone, according to the 2019 Railroad Accident Report from the National Transportation Safety Board. The engineer driving the train was near DuPont, Washington and was crossing Interstate 5 around 7.32am when he went past the advanced speed restriction sign roughly two miles before the dangerous curve. The time of the crash was 7.34am on December 18, 2017. The engineer planned to brake at the sign about one mile before the curve but as the train approached the headlights washed out the sign, and the engineer missed the breaking point, as per a report. The alarm sounded off, however, the engineer was reportedly unfamiliar with the charger locomotive and appeared not to react to the warnings. Once he realized the grave situation he was in, it was too late. The goal of the new railway line was to separate passenger and freight traffic and reduce congestion giving commuters a faster ride and shorter trip. It was a joint partnership between Amtrak, who operated the train and state and local authorities in Oregon and Washington. The new line would save ten minutes in commuting time from Seattle to Portland compared with the previous route used by Cascades Amtrak. However, the train derailed a short distance from where the new route merged with the previous route. On the morning of the crash there were many safety measures that were reportedly not in place that contributed to the devastating crash, according to multiple reports. Days before the inaugural run, more than a dozen engineers and conductors told their supervisors they did not feel sufficiently trained on the new route. The engineer driving the doomed Amtrak Cascades 501 was a certified engineer working for the rail company since 2013 and was described as experienced and a conscientious and safe driver. The engineer told investigators he took seven to 10 observational training trips on the new route, but was only at the controls for three one-way trips, and only one of those was in the direction the train was traveling when it crashed, according to an interim report released by the National Transportation Safety Board, CNN previously reported. The chaotic scene as several railcars hit oncoming vehicles along the busy roadway during morning rush hour around 7.30am December 18, 2017 Though he did not speak to CNN, according to the report he told the NTSB 'he would not have gotten behind the throttle if he had any reservations about his readiness to operate the train'. They told CNN that they felt 'dangerously unprepared' and training was rushed and 'totally inadequate'. Some of the engineers disclosed that they were not getting enough practice during the brief training runs. They needed more time to familiarize themselves with the controls and the new route - and revealed that the new locomotive used in the inaugural was something they weren't as accustomed too. After the devastation, damages were estimated to be more than $25.8 million. The NTSB partly blamed Sound Transit, the public transit agency serving the Seattle metropolitan areas in Washington State for failing to implement safety improvements before the new Portland to Seattle route, according to local news outlet OPB. More than 35 people sued Amtrak and several won multimillion dollar suits. In November 2021, four years after the deadly train crash, OPB reported that the railway has resumed operations with new safety measures including, an 'Activated Positive Train Control,' a system that uses GPS to slow a train in dangerous conditions.
