In Chinese group chats, Crazy Thursday is less about the menu and more about a weekly bit: write a serious story, then pivot to “It's KFC Crazy Thursday — V me 50.” The ask is usually a joke. Don't send real money to strangers.

Three “events” today
Three events today:
1. Rolls-Royce owners: open the app, China UI, fill a phone number — free Moutai.
2. Porsche owners: upload the VIN, win at least a ¥300 JD card.
3. Everyone else: open the KFC app — because it's Crazy Thursday.

Heard the rumor? KFC and vivo dropped a collab phone called Crazy Thursday vivo50.
(The punchline is “V me 50” — WeChat-transfer slang for ¥50.)
