The iconic Chick-fil-A campaign has allowed the chain to feature on the national map since its launch in the mid-1990s.
However, the tendency of cows to misspell words has had unintended consequences, according to Steve Robinson, marketing director of Chick-fil-A for 35 years.
Robinson and Chick-fil-A, founder, Truett Cathy, have received so many letters from teachers upset by the cows' inability to spell that Robinson had come up with a form letter to answer.

When Chick-fil-A launched its campaign against cows in the mid-1990s, the chain immediately gained the upper hand.
"This was the first important step to place Chick-fil-A in the national consciousness," Business Insider Steve Robinson, marketing director of Chick-fil-A recently told Business Insider for 35 years.
"This has clearly made the Chick-fil-A brand distinctive," Robinson said. "You mix the distinctiveness, the difference of advertising with the distinctiveness of the experience in the restaurant and they have complemented each other."
Since 1995, when the first cow campaign was launched, Chick-fil-A has grown from the regional icon to one of the largest restaurant chains in the United States. In 2018, Chick-fil-A has become the third largest chain in the United States in terms of sales, with $ 10.46 billion in sales at the US system scale.
