    Fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has issued an apology for
    an accidental alert message that went out to consumers on its app, >>appearing to treat Germany's Kristallnacht as a typical holiday.

    Kristallnacht, "the night of broken glass" took place November 9 to >>November 10 when the Nazis persecuted Jewish people in Germany and
    other areas. Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues were destroyed, >>leading to the day's name of the attacks.

    Lots of synagogues burned during the night as local firefighters
    watched instead of putting them out because they had been told to only
    get involved to stop the fire from spreading to other structures.
    Jewish cemeteries were also desecrated in many areas.

    In Germany, the anniversary of the night is treated as a memorial and
    this year marks the 84th anniversary of the tragic events.

    KFC sent a message to its customers, saying, "Commemorate Kristallnacht
    - treat yourself to more soft cheese and crispy chicken. Now at
    KFCheese!"

    The company received backlash for its message, but about an hour later,
    an additional alert was sent out, which included an apology.

    "We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so >>that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error," the message >>said, according to the Bild newspaper via BBC.

    More like some Gen Z social platform manager who thought it was a >cool-sounding holiday.


    We celebrated this festive holiday with a party. Happy Krisallnacht!

    Then you admit that the grill seasoning-- which is salt and pepper--
    WRONG. WRONG ONCE AGAIN, KLOUS [sic].
    The Grill [sic] seasoning ISN'T salt and pepper, the grill seasoning is MADE with
    salt and pepper. Becouse [sic] salt and pepper are INGREDIENT'S [sic] of the grill seasoning.
    -Jenny, admitting-- AGAIN-- that salt and pepper are ingredients of the Big Mac.
