This is perhaps man's greatest achievement or evidence of our civilization's impending doom. Maybe it's both. Meet the KFC “double down.” Although no mention of it is made on KFC.com and we have never seen an ad for it ourselves, we are being lead to believe that it is real by Foodgeekery.com.
It's not exactly clear what message this Japanese KFC is trying to send, but I'm pretty sure it's the wrong one.
Food Buzz I'm not quite sure what kind of message this is supposed to send, but free food is free food. Courtesy of Oprah (and the marketers at KFC), Kentucky Fried Chicken is giving away full meals — which include 2 pieces of griled chicken, 2 sides & a biscuit — for the price of nothing! All you have to do apparently is install a nasty coupon application. What the hell, Oprah? You're trying to give us heart disease AND computer viruses?
Food Buzz Colonel Sanders’ secret handwritten recipe for fried chicken was relocated to a temporary location today. Security details included a locked box being handcuffed to a security guard who boarded an armored car under police escort. Apparently, it’s so important that only two executives have access to it, making this paper one of the most closely guarded corporate secrets.
Food Buzz A mock chicken product will now be offered at KFC’s Canadian outposts. Score one for the vegans! Or rather, the “kind of, sometimes” vegans.
