KFC - Continues Setting New Lows in Fast Food

This blog enjoys blasting poor fast food and KFC somehow manages to get more than its fair share.

We recently went to sit near some simulated chicken at KFC (recalling a previous post)

As I was sitting near the "chicken" I thought I'd enjoy a biscuit or two. I must admit I've always enjoyed the KFC biscuit. I went up and asked for some honey and received "Honey Sauce"

Obviously - when you see honey sauce the first, most obvious, realization is that this isn't honey. In fact it is 11% honey as you can see.

What makes up the rest of this "sauce"? Basically High Fructose Corn Syrup and Sugar along with some coloring. Pretty sad all in all. I recommend getting the biscuits to go and just missing the opportunity to sit near the chicken altogether.

Cause it's Not Really Chicken

I guess Third Eye Blind had it right in their new song "Non Dairy Creamer" when they sing..."they call it KFC, cause it's not really chicken"

KFC No Longer Permitted To Use Word 'Eat' In Advertisements
WASHINGTON—Issuing a condemnation of Kentucky Fried Chicken's recent Boneless Variety Bucket commercials, the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday fined the fast food giant $600,000 and ordered it to discontinue all broadcasts containing "false and misleading suggestions" that its heated chicken products are intended for consumption.




KFC's new FCC-approved commercial campaign for the classic 16-piece bucket.
"KFC's claim that its fried offerings have 'that taste you'll just love to eat' is in direct violation of federal regulations," acting FCC chairman Michael Copps said. "The word 'eat' is legally permissible only in reference to substances appropriate for human consumption. Any implication that a consumer could or should 'enjoy' a KFC Crispy Strip fails to meet these standards, and presents an unlawful deception to consumers."

"Any future appeals by KFC for the public to ingest its products will be met with swift legal action," he added.
