Kentucky Fried Chicken temporarily dropping "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan around the world

[bcla]

It was already suspended in the US, but I guess there's a worry about hygiene worldwide with Covid-19.

I gave up on all KFC products when a franchise in Flatbush Junction EPA violation polluted the air of at least three subway stations due to a used frying oil tank leaking into one of the stations. An eye and nose opener I could well have lived without.

This is so dumb. If you are eating with your hands, presumably they are clean. I mean...it's not like people are going around licking stranger's fingers.

It seems like every company is trying to out dumb the other one

Exactly!

Did they already say they were doing this back in March?

That stuff is too valuable to have leak. It's commonly used to make biodiesel, and I've heard of thieves breaking locks just to steal it from waste oil tanks that was already sold to processors. The Disneyland Railroad runs on B98, and most of the waste oil used to make it comes from Disneyland's restaurants.

Kentucky Fried Chicken was always known for moist towelettes. They were the biggest customer for Wet-Nap for quite a while. At least that's how I always though one was supposed clean up first, then use again to wipe off any grease.

I don't even know whether or not they are/were still using the slogan here but the whole idea is cringy. Licking yourself is gross...just sayin'.

 

[XGhostColetteX]

They're pulling a "Great Expectations" and ditching the bad table manners of finger licking into a more regal knife-and-fork KFC image.

I found the official press release, and all I can say is wow.

Can’t underestimate people that easily.

Literally the dumbest thing I've heard all year. And THAT my friends was a loooong list of dumb.

I gave up on KFC in 1996 after getting food poisoning from eating at one. Haven't had a piece since. Always thought the 'finger licking' tagline was gross anyhow!

 

[Disneylover99]

No matter how the slogan changes, it will always be finger lick in’ good to me.

I like a good greasy meal every now and then.

I agree its not like that is a "serving suggestion". But then again maybe they do not want you licking your fingers because of all the hand sanitizer people are using. Lick enough and they may get drunk on the 77% alcohol.
I guess you can use tongs to hold the chicken and eat it....omg this could be a trend and business. Chicken tongs! NO we cannot just use them for chicken ; we can use them for chops, steak bones, and dare I say cookies, brownies the list is endless. Anyone know a company that manufactures tongs? Perhaps All Clad? Are they on the stock exchange? We hang them from our belts like they hung their utensils from their belts in Medieval times right next to our masks and hand sanitizer bottles. . I am going to buy in.

I had no clue KFC was in so many nations. The Colonel needs to bring KFC to the Amazon, so those remote cannibal tribes can eat a six piece with biscuit instead of, say, ME.

Oh come on, don't act like you've never licked your fingers.

This is the first company I recall that gave out towelettes with their meals!

Yep, I just dated myself, LOL
