How the fuck is this place still open? Large war chest? People with no taste? Cheapness? I haven't been to a KFC in many years. Before that, virtually every time everything was stale, salty and just tasted off. Can KFC be saved? Is it worth saving?

Did they merge with taco bell or some other colossal parent group? It could be they're being kept alive to strategically hold whatever market share they have on fried chicken. In other words maybe it's not that profitable, but it keeps other fried chicken chains from living comfortably. I did have some recently for the first time in years and it was still shit

Its massive in China. Bigger than McDonalds in the US is KFC in China.

What did you get? I just got tinders, the mashed potatoes were just terrible.

This is actually shocking. I'd assume that in terms of brands from the USA McDonalds would reign supreme pretty much everywhere,

I didn't go to kfc for many years. but I did go now that I've moved to a local with less negros. it weird that it comes down to it, but they serve decent tenders and good salty popcorn chicken.
besides the all white crew, the fact that they hire the finest young honeys, keeps me coming back

Honestly, probably the whole family meal setup.

Their $20 deal is enough to feed a family of 4 without putting in any work. Not even asking the kids in the back seat what they want. No customization, no toppings, just chicken, potatoes, and salad. My family still considers this to be more variety and more like a real meal than other fast food.

It's very different too, lots of menu items besides the fried chicken. They even have a taco bell crunchwrap rip off with some sort of marinated beef inside. Quality is astronomically higher than KFC in the US as well.

KFC opened up in Asian countries much earlier than other American chains and quickly adapted to its new environments. I think McDonalds in the Philippines serves actual fried chicken due to the impact KFC had by being there first.

KFC and Taco Bell are under the Yum Brands conglomerate. Sometimes I see KFC/Taco Bell restaurants that serve food from both brands in the same building.

Day by day I hate the Chinese more and more purely because of their shit taste.

Pretty popular here in Australia.
I get it occasionally hungover for their mash and gravy because I'm a potato nigger.
