"Rip'n Chick'n is a unique and fun product, so we had a lot of fun coming up with a name," says Vice President of Marketing Hector Munoz. "Then we thought, much like we changed the ‘ing’ in the name to ‘'n,’ what if all the web sites we visited ‘Ripped the G's’ too? So, we ideated a plug-in that would do just that. We think customers will have just as much fun Rip'n their Chick'n as brows'n the headlines of their favorite websites."
