KFC sets Chicken Dance record at Twenty20

26,000 people flapped their arms and shook their tail feathers to set a new world record at Twenty20.

However, it wasn’t just the Aussie side that put in a strong performance. The MCG came alive as 26,000 people flapped their arms and shook their tail feathers to set a new world record for most people performing the ‘Chicken Dance’ at a sport stadium.

Thousands of fans flocked to the stadium to watch the Aussies and the Poms collide, and were only too keen to channel their inner chook and make sporting history of their own.

KFC was attempting to beat the world record of the biggest ever ‘Chicken Dance,’ currently held by a county fair in Canfield, Ohio, in 1996. This record saw 72,000 people involved.

While the rain kept the crowds at bay with audience figures just reaching 26,000 at 7.15pm before the game kicked off, KFC were unable to break the world record. Luckily, KFC managed to set a new world record for most people performing the ‘Chicken Dance’ at a sport stadium.

The URDB Official presented Natasha Zunic with the award at 7.20p.m last night in front of a crowd of approximately 26,000 cricket fans at the MCG.
