Cause if you write "Kitchen" in big enough font, someone might believe it.

The fuck else are they going to call it? It's an area where food is prepared. That's a kitchen. It doesn't matter if you like the food that comes out of it or not, it's still a kitchen.

kitch·en
ˈkiCH(&#601n/
noun

a room or area where food is prepared and cooked.

What a very odd thing to say.

 

[windz]

I'm so edgy I eat on the curb outside KFC. That's my kitchen. I'm cool like that.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

The colonel is the Architect!

Uhh, was there, like, a racist Australian KFC ad in the middle if there?

 

[Zombine]

So basically the Colonel isn't a person; he's an ideology. When one Colonel falls another must take his place.

 

[jett]

Strange, the colonel has always been part of the KFC brand here in Peru.

I don't like their pieces of chicken by themselves, but their burrito-like twisters are really good, for some reason.

 

[YoungHav]

I don't want to research and have my childhood ruined but why does the Colonel dress like a plantation owner?

Not giving dude a cartoon during the 70s or 80s was a blown opportunity IMO.

 

[Forerunner]

So are they going with the Stickman Colonel now?

Why did you have to go and say that?

As for KFC, it's not bad, but Popeyes is obviously superior.

 

[BraXzy]

So are they going with the Stickman Colonel now?

Can't unsee.

Lmao.

 

[Woody Invincible]

They should've gotten Christopher Walken for the Colonel.

 

[JackBauer24]

Jingle's been stuck in my head since I saw the commercial earlier this week.

He was a real guy. That was his style of dress at the time.

But it was crafted.

After being recommissioned as a Kentucky colonel in 1950 by Governor Lawrence Wetherby, Sanders began to dress the part, growing a goatee and wearing a black frock coat (later switching to a white suit), a string tie, and referring to himself as "Colonel".[19] His associates went along with the title change, "jokingly at first and then in earnest", according to biographer Josh Ozersky.[23]

He never wore anything else in public during the last 20 years of his life, using a heavy wool suit in the winter and a light cotton suit in the summer.[23] He bleached his mustache and goatee to match his white hair.[18]

The best chicken fast food is Nandos. It's Portuguese-style food, piri-piri chicken and so on. It originated in South Africa from Portuguese people and there's quite a few in the UK and some parts of Europe and Dubai.

Think only the USA is starting to get some now, I know there is in New York.

If you ever see one, try it. You'll fall in love. They have various spicy ranges from not spicy to really spicy.

Best take away chicken I've ever had just due to the fact of awesome Portuguese take on chicken/piri-piri.

Also they have used the colonel in packaging in places outside the U.S still before this.

It is a kitchen.

Duh

 

[Slayven]

how about improving their shitty chicken

 

[jesu]

We still have the Colonel here.
KFC would look weird to me without him.

 

[Piers]

It is a kitchen.

Duh

We have to wait until the Colonel says this is canon.

 

[ahoyhoy]

how about improving their shitty chicken

Seems like they're focusing on the sides, which is kinda a stupid idea because their sides are easily the best part of the restaurant already.

Would be godlike if KFC learned to make chicken half as good as Chikfilia, though.

 

[Gintoki]

Colonel Sanders never left me. Why was he abandoned in his home country?

 

[entremet]

I actually like their chicken. Their sides suck, though.

 

[legacyzero]

.."and a big 'ol cooooookie".

 

[Gonzalez]

Still my preference.

The Colonel > Deidrie

 

[diehard]

That is Darrell Hammond (from SNL) playing the Colonel.

 

[DarkKyo]

Do people actually eat at KFC ?

 

[Strike]

Still my preference.

lmao, that is awesome. Never wearing anything else in public the last 20yrs hahaha.

I believe the marketing team didn't feel like he was effective and they wanted to change the branding up.

Too expensive.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Too expensive.

Too expensive as in it's on the fast casual tier as opposed to the fast food tier?

 

[mreddie]

So KFC is going retro? I guess with this and the removal of artificial stuff, I guess everything is looking up?

 

[Amalthea]

Kentucky fried necromancy

 

[Abounder]

The Colonel came back just in time for the new Star Wars. It's time to party like it was 1999, and by party I mean eat fast food:

 

[HarryKS]

Too expensive as in it's on the fast casual tier as opposed to the fast food tier?

Yes, for fast food.

 

[Warm Machine]

I swear he never left Canada. Peanuts gang with Dairy Queen, yes.

 

[vwnut13]

The real problem. I'd rather get better tasting chicken at publix for half the price

I'd rather get worse tasting chicken at Whole Foods for twice the price!

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I was reading the KFC wiki and apparently the focus has been on overseas rather than in the US. The idea being competition is too great and therefore too difficult to differentiate themselves versus other companies.

They've apparently been greatly reducing corporate owned locations and going more strictly to franchising in the US.

 

[trinest]

What was the previous branding in the US?

I think option B is less likely to upset my stomach.

 

[vwnut13]

If you think the new Colonel Sanders is creepy, then my name isn't Orville Redenbacher.
