Rubber Chicken Day: Do Something Ridiculously Fun!
Because rubber chickens have long been been used as comedic props and because we love to make you laugh, we decided years ago to make the rubber chicken our official mascot. And again on Feb. 19 we will celebrate our official holiday, Rubber Chicken Day.
The decision to make the rubber chicken our mascot, however, wasn’t a calculated one. It actually came about in a rather unlikely way.
During a photo shoot for one of our earliest catalogs, a rubber chicken was left on a crash cart and went undetected during the editing phase of production. Customers quickly discovered it and wanted to know more about the mysterious creature. And then it happened — our company mascot was born.
Our mascot’s advertising appearances are no longer mistakes; in fact, we share rubber chickens everywhere we go! We even have a line of mascot-themed merchandise. So join us in celebrating this special day by doing something completely foolish and ridiculously fun — it’s the HCL way!
