KFCThailand has launched its new limited edition menu item,Crispy Zabb Skins, which essentially means 'spicy chicken skin' after acampaign that called for fans to send 10,000 heart emojis in the comments.

Partnering with Brilliant & Million, KFCThailand put up a social media post that read: "If you really want Crispy Zabb Skins on the menu, send us 10, 000 heart emojis in the comments."

The post was intended as a social fast food petition campaign, where KFCconsumers were given a stake in deciding what should be on the menu through their online interactions.

Dont miss: KFC MY will replace your chicken if the pieces are too small in attempt to win back consumers

As a reward, KFC Thailand promised to release the product if the target number of heart emojis was met on its Facebook page.

The campaign was met with over300,000 hearts from fans online andKFC Thailand released itsCrispy Zabb Skins in 59 of its participating quick-service stores soon after.

Local food influencers such as Thai food content creator who goes by the social media name 'Eat Here' also participated in the campaign by sharing TikTok videos of themselves eating the Crispy Zabb Skins to share in the excitement with their fans.

According to KFC Thailand in a statement, the crispy chicken skins were sold out within seven days of its launch. Additionally, the fast-food giant reported an increase in engagement on its social media pages.

Your response to our Crispy Zabb Skin menu has been nothing short of spectacular, and because of you, we at KFC are inspired to keep bringing you the best of our service and recipes, saidKFC Thailands chief marketing officer, Suhayl Limbada.

Across the region, KFC is facing increased pressures in Malaysia as boycotts against brands supporting theIsrael-Gaza war go strong. Just last week, the Boycott Divestment Sanctions Malaysia (BDS Malaysia) cleared the air about its alleged campaign for Malaysians to boycott KFC.

The fried chicken chain was never included in the BDS Malaysia boycott list and BDS Malaysia never campaigned for the Malaysian people to boycott KFC from the past until now, according to BDS Malaysia chairman Nazari Ismail.

While McDonalds made the list because its branches in Israel provided free food to Israeli Zionist soldiers and the McDonalds corporation did not block the action, KFC has not done the same thing, he added in Malay in a statement seen by A+M at the time.

Trump Media shareholder Justin Peedin says he plans to stand by Trump despite the former president's historic conviction. Courtesy of Justin Peedin hide caption

When a New York jury convicted former President Trump, supporter Justin Peedin in Florida was outraged.

So he decided to take a stand: By buying more shares in Trumps social media venture while encouraging others to do the same.

Its almost time to show them what DJTArmy is all about!!!! Buy more today and hollllllld, Peedin wrote in Truth Social a little before trading started on Friday.

Peedin is part of a legion of Trump supporters who own shares in Trump Media & Technology Group the company behind Truth Social.

Many supporters have invested despite all the warnings from professional investors about a company that's losing money and has little revenue.

And now, at a time when many investors would normally flee because of the former president's conviction, Trump Media shareholders are vowing to double down over their anger about a conviction they view as a miscarriage of justice.

At least on Friday, their push to pump up the stock didn't pan out. After initially opening up about 15%, shares ended the day down 5%.

But far from being discouraged, Trump Media shareholders are vowing to hang on.

It is the latest twist in what has been a volatile ride for Trump Media shares since making its stock market debut in March by merging with a listed shell company.

For those who invested early, it has been a remarkably lucrative ride so far. But nobody has benefited more than former President Trump.

And now, whether or not these shareholders decide to hang on will determine the fortunes of a company many in Wall Street have panned as a dud.

Trump has a lot riding on Trump Media. He owns nearly two-thirds of the company.

Despite taking a hit on Friday, Trumps stake was still valued at $5.6 billion a windfall that earlier this year placed him in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index for the first time.

Its an incredible value for a company that lost over $300 million in the first quarter and had almost negligible revenue. It also had just under 700,000 monthly active users in April, compared to over 76 million for X, according to data from Similarweb.

Trumps newfound fortune is all thanks to hundreds of thousands of investors who have bought into Trump Media, many of them to show support for former President Trump.

Justin Peedin is one of them

Peedin became a Trump supporter in 2015. He was teaching English in an Arab village in Israel. He had left a sales gig in a call center in Maryland. He says he left partly to escape the racial strife in the U.S and partly to reconnect with his Jewish heritage.

I figured if I can help make peace over there, you can make peace anywhere, he says.

Peedin voted for Trump twice and he believes the world now needs Trump more than ever. Its why he also decided to invest in Trump Media.

Unfortunately, the world's not just hugs and kisses everywhere. There're people that really want to do harm. And we need strong leadership, he says. I'm scared for the future. So, 2024 is a big year. And that's why I'm invested in this, you know?

Peedin is a huge fan of Truth Social. Its a platform where he and others have found relief from what they see as censorship in rivals such as X and Facebook.

And Peedin believes that if the former president returns to the White House in November, Truth Social would become an incredibly valuable company.

I think he's got a good shot at winning again. And if he's only using this platform, I feel like the sky's the limit with it," Peedin says. "And I also believe in it, which is, like, very rare, to have an investment in something you believe in so much."

That belief has gotten him a pretty handsome profit so far at least on paper.

Peedin got in early, investing just over $50,000. He paid an average of around $35. With Trump Media now trading at $49, Peedin is sitting on a paper gain of around $20,000 a sizeable return for a stock that media mogul Barry Diller recently referred to as a "scam."

Peedin says he bought a few more shares on Friday, a day after Trumps conviction.

If he were to lose it all, Peedin says he can still put food on the table for his wife and his toddler.

"I'm not gambling my son's diaper money, you know?" he says.

Not everybody has made money in Trump Media.

The stock has been incredibly volatile day to day. They are now slightly below the day before its debut, but they have delivered a nice return to those like Peedin who invested early.

Many professional investors have warned against the stock, which is trading at valuations well above what its financial performance should dictate even though there are multiple risks facing Truth Social.

The company is trying to expand into online video and has said it plans to grow through mergers and acquisitions, both of which could turn out badly.

Most importantly, professional investors warn that the companys fortunes are tied to former President Trump, whos due to be sentenced in July after being convicted of the 34 felony counts.

Trump also still faces several other state and federal criminal cases, and the stocks performance could be directly impacted by his electoral fortunes in what is expected to be a heated presidential campaign.

There are even more risks looming. Trump could one day cash in and bail from the company which could hurt shareholders like Peedin.

Trump cant sell his shares yet. Under his current agreement, he has to hold on to them until September, right in the midst of the presidential campaign. But he could be given permission to sell even sooner by Trump Medias board, which is full of friendly voices, like his son Donald Trump Jr.

Yet none of these risks faze Peedin.

He still believes Truth Social is a startup with immense potential even after Trump's conviction. He has an unwavering belief in the former commander in chief and he believes Trump would not hurt supporters like him by cashing out of the company.

I think he truly cares about the people that support him, he says. Because if you look at it, that would be kind of like stabbing everyone in the back. And I don't see him doing that.
