Just passing through, but I noticed that the article seems puzzled that the chain is PFK in Quebec but still KFC in France.
May I suggest that the reason for that is as simple as Quebec's language laws, which have been enforced rather vigorously and may have forced the chain to use an acronym based on the French name of the chain?
Of course, someone would need to find a source for that. Daniel Case 01:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Every time I try to go to the KFC page I get redirected to a page about the word Nigger. I think someone vandalized the page.
Yes, I also viewed this. Clearly a case of some racist clown. I'm not proficient at editing wikipedia, can someone change this? Thanks.
Why did 84.69.157.208 remove a lot of interesting (if accurate) material about the change of name etc.? (I haven't reverted it in case there was a good reason.) Barnabypage 18:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
74.129.222.184 21:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)I just wanted to advise that there is also now at least one KFC in Cassablanca, Morocco. I do not know if it is Halal or not.

I've reordered things a bit. The article needs quite a bit of work. Those huge lists are mostly either too trivial or too fictional for inclusion, for a start, and the work section is more of a rant than anything else. Chris Cunningham 12:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm new to Wikipedia behind the scenes, but just noticed that in the Secret Recipe section, 3rd para, the article says "... William Poundstreettook it in the pooper ..." which I assume is some sort of vandalism. I thought I'd try to change it, but the text for editing doesn't seem to include the offending words. No doubt someone else can sort this out. Thanx. -- 124.183.103.219 22:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Could I use http://www.kfccruelty.com/ as a resource to edit the KFC page? If not, how about http://www.cnn.com/2003/BUSINESS/10/17/anderson.kfc/index.html? I understand the first one is a bit prejudiced. I want to add a section to KFC about it's treatment of the chickens.
I would love to see a section about the changes that KFC has made (or is making) regarding Trans Fat in its food... There is some info under the 'trans fat' article on Wikipedia, it could be expanded upon here. Any info that could be added would be great! There is a similar section on the McDonalds Wikipedia article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.221.45 ( talk • contribs)
I have added a 'Nutritional Section' to include information on the food itself and added a reference to the court case as a start.-- Herne nz 23:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
With KFC's changes, the current article is now inaccurate on this topic and needs to be amended to show that KFC voluntarily (whilst under pressure, obviously) replaced its hydrogenated fry oil with the soybean oil blend. The company is stating that this is an across-the-board change, at least in the U.S., and is being featured in their advertising. I would recommend retaining the references to their extensive use of trans-fats and the controversy surrounding them, but those need to be rephrased as past tense. 68.216.187.23 21:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
There is alot of controversy surrounding peta and kfc, and i think this article should be locked both to keep a NPOV and to prevent any vandalisim by peta members. -- Dallin Tanjo22 04:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I have just put a non-worldwide view banner for this section. It only really represents the American menu and the section should be expanded to include a more worldwide view of the menu. For example, in Australia, KFC does not serve corn at KFC. I work at KFC so I would be able to help out with expansion of this but before we do, we need to get set menus of what each main country serves at the KFC's in that country and then put the items into tables and subheadings. What do people think? -- Lakeyboy 10:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC) Might also like to mention that kfc uses ghb in it's spice mix in australia too

He professes to a bemused employee that they have acquired the eleven secret spices of KFC and that because of such a unique find, they require the banks formidable protection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Porcupyne ( talk • contribs) 23:29, 16 February 2007
Up until the late 1990's Kentucky Fried Chicken was called Kentucky Fried Chicken in Australia. I'm unsure of when the name changed in the US, but (whatever the food worlds version of Greenwashing is? Fatwashing?) it was abbreviated to KFC during a massive shoot out between health food industry spokesfolk in relation to 'fried' food, thus negating the fried aspect. I'm sure it had a further marketting angle involved also, however this isn't why I'm even writing this.
What I want to know is, why does the entire article cite KFC, even for pre-KFC dates? It should state the appropriate name for prior dates. Kthxbai. Jachin 05:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
It simply cites KFC because it is the current name and even though it's full name is Kentucky Fried Chicken (I still refer to the restaurant as "Kentucky Fried" or simply "Kentucky") it is not what it is currently called and it is also an abbreviation of KFC and KFC is the acronym of Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm not sure if it is general rule of thumb or Wikipedia guidelines to use the current name or not. -- Lakeyboy 05:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Here's what doesnn't make sense. This is KENTUCKY Fried Chicken, but they play Sweet Home ALABAMA as sort of a "theme song". ALABAMA and KENTUCKY are two different states. That's like playing the Canadian national anthem at a New York Yankees game (at Yankees Stadium), though not as much of an insult. Still, it's IRONIC!!!! JustN5:12 04:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Studebaker has a corporate logo that is visible from outer space, formed from trees that were planted in Bendix Woods (near South Bend, IN) in the 1930s. See Google Maps. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.83.160.121 ( talk • contribs) 16:03, March 9, 2007 (UTC)

Why is there nothing about the rats showing up in a New York KFC/Taco Bell last month? WAVY 10 13:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I just added a short paragraph mentioning that incident a few moments ago. Nateland 16:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
The name of the section alone is a little weasel-worded, and it seems that this is one persons opinion on what's imitation and coincidence, considering no articles are cited. Can this be removed? 1337wesm 00:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
alright :)
I am speaking on behalf of ESW Partners who happens to do KFC marketing for the Chicago DMA. KFC now has an additional wesbite specifically for customers interested in KFC Catering. Since KFC has good catering options and not many people are aware of that fact, an additional hyperlink to www.gokfc.com would be beneficial to both KFC and the client. Please make this adjustment.

Can we remove the controversy about the one store closing in Manhatten? Its irrelevant to the main article, food chains of all companies close all the time. This one specific instance is irrlevant. Bobbyd100 07:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
In Australia, many KFC stores are covered by an enterprise bargaining agreement with the SDA. Despite this, their wages are barely above the Award rate of pay, as fast food outlets fall under the category of "food retailers", for which an already (relatively) low rate applies.
I've taken the liberty to remove the above since there's no controversy in the statement. Appears to be a your typical internet diatribe. A controversy would exists if the employer (KFC) had conducted something illegal or unethical (restrictions upon employee associations, pay below/at legal minimum). No such thing exist in the statement. I certainly am concerned about the other 'controversies' but will leave it to the users in those countries. (Note: in Australia award/minimum wages are reviewed annually with adjustments made in consultation with inflation etc.) Htra0497 05:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC) 15:23, 24 July 2007.
I seem to recall, from a visit years ago to the KFC museum in Louisville, that Sanders originally developed his cooking technique for beans, not chicken. But I can't recall any detail. Does anyone know more about this? It would be an interesting addition to the historical section. Barnabypage 13:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:KFCnewlogo2.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone else remember the marketing campaign they had where it was claimed the original recipe was lost, then 'found' again? I noticed the chicken tasted WAY, WAY better during that time, far better than their crispy chicken...not only did it taste like it, but it looked like it had herbs in it, too. Nowadays the chicken doesn't taste anything like I remember that time when it improved...it was more like before. This was during the 90's, by the way...-- Kojiro Takenashi 02:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
