KFC - Kitchen Fresh Chicken

Finally a post not related to flood but food

Been eating out from time to time because of the flood (okay so the post MAY be related to flood). And when I checked out KFC's design of their packagings to find out why on Earth did they change to a lame reddish maroon theme, I confirmed one of the global market's untold story. KFC is no longer known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, but Kitchen Fresh Chicken. Um, it feels like I missed something over the years but KFC seems like quietly changing their image by changing their acronym, without telling anyone. The last time I checked (a decade or so? lol) the bright signboard outside a KFC shows a white board with red blue stripes and the sketch of Colonel Sanders appearing with the text KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN. Did I miss their commercials saying they are now Kitchen Fresh Chicken? Now the new generations are going to grow brainwashed and recognize KFC with the new acronym. Now I'm starting to feel like how our grandparents feel when they said Kuching was called Sarawak long long time ago. It's lickin' finger good~
