Sue Ellen rallies the gang in a protest against a fast-food restaurant.


==Plot==
==Plot==
At the Sugar Bowl, Sue Ellen is served a Big Pig sundae by the owner, Mr. Manino. She compliments him on the ice cream sundae, only to find that is has pecans instead of walnuts, and soon finds that Mr. Manino will not be making any more Big Pigs, because he will be selling the Sugar Bowl. After the shocking discovery, she frantically asks who will be buying the shop, exclaiming that she hopes it is not Mr. Crosswire, who will overprice things. Mr. Manino then hands her a menu from the buyers, remarking that the prices seem reasonable. Sue Ellen recognizes the menu as a Chickin Lickin'. She informs Mr. Manino that the restaurant is a large global franchise. Sue Ellen is still flabbergasted at the reality.

In a Chickin Lickin' commercial, Beauregard Poulet is explains that he is standing on the very porch where he was given his father's recipe for the current Chickin Lickin' chicken. He pulls a bell ringer and the front of the house collapses revealing dancing chicken and a flashy stage. He advertises his chicken products, and at the conclusion of the commercial, he states, "Made with real chicken flavor". He also advertises a personal appearance in the Mill Creek Mall. Sue Ellen turns off her TV and complains to her mother about the situation. She states that fast food chains are meant to expand. Sue Ellen is still bothered, and her mother suggests that she hold a protest to stand up for it.

That Saturday, they meet at the mall, and have their protest. Things do not go as planned, and many people do not notice them. Beauregard Poulet exits the restaurant, and Sue Ellen's protesting is overpowered by the band that plays. Meanwhile, Arthur, D.W., and Grandma Thora remember the good times they had at the Sugar Bowl. Mr. Manino serves them their banana splits, and asks what is troubling them. Thora states that they are remembering the good times they had there. He looks back at them and remembers good times he had as well.

At the mall, Sue Ellen steps up and shouts at Beauregard Poulet. He explains that he is merely an actor, and he directs her to complaint forms in the restaurant. Sue Ellen walks by her family and friends depressed. As they walk home, Sue Ellen notices festivity around the Sugar Bowl. She goes inside, and finds that Mr. Manino decided not to sell the restaurant. The episode finishes as Mr. Manino serves Sue Ellen another Big Pig, only this time, he switched back to walnuts.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*'''The title is similar to another episode's title:''' "[[Sue Ellen Vegges Out]] ".
*The title is similar to another episode's title: "[[Sue Ellen Vegges Out]] ".
*Chickin Lickin' is a reference to Kentucky Fried Chicken, probably inspired by KFC's slogan "finger lickin' good". Beauregard Poulet spoofs Colonel Harlan Sanders (who was a real person, though only an honorary colonel). "Poulet" is French for "chicken".
*Sue Ellen says "One Chicken Licken is enough" when the megaphone was going on.
*'''Moral:'''
**Just because you dont like something/something you like is closing because of another store doesn't mean you have to try to close it down for your own personal benefit.
**When someone talks about something else instead of what you want, dont force them to stop talking about it for  your  own personal  benifit.

*This is the second time Sue Ellen takes off one of her hair scrunchies. The first time was "[[Sue Ellen's Little Sister]]."

*Sue Ellen also does a protest in [[Sue Ellen and the Last Page]].
===Errors===
*In Sue Ellen's fantasy, Beauregard Poulet says that the Sugar Bowl doesn't have a deep fryer. In other episodes, such as D.W., the Picky Eater, the Sugar Bowl is shown to serve french fries.
*When Sue Ellen gets out of Muffy's limo, she is only one or two houses down from where she got on. The limo ride, though brief, was far too long to have traveled such a short distance.
