The Toyota Tarago van is sometimes owned by large Samoan, Tongan & Māori families for the extra seating. The ukulele seems to be a fave instrument for them, they’re pretty good at it & singing too tbh 😂 It’s one of those funny generalisations/stereotypes that we all have a laugh about ✌🏼

[@aaronparley5852]

Exactly how I was going to explain it

[@coolhandluke1503]

I once got my order mixed up with a that of a pacific island fam. it was the single biggest line up I've seen and felt I couldn't get it too them without wasting more precious hours of time and left it with Maccas to deal with. I hope they got their order in the end, such wonderful people in the pacific

[@Reneesillycar74]

@@2young2rocknroll Read again 🙄 Try hard to take note of words like “sometimes”, “funny generalisations/stereotypes”, & “we all have a laugh about”. There you go, I almost repeated the whole thing to help you.

[@heatherwardell2501]

Yes, they are clean and well kept, like all food outlets. Service is usually great. All fast food places have cans and bottles.

[@Platypus333]

I've never had a can or bottle from McDonald's or Hungry Jack's; It was post mix from subway last I went too. Not sure what state you live in.

[@Austtube]

Except for Nowra KFC. You put your arms on the table and they are glued. If you can unstick yourself from the table and chairs, it's time to leave and run for your life. Bring a bucket.

[@baku2461]

I don't know what the quality is in America, but KFC in Australia is pretty decent. I've never had anything close to raw chicken... the chicken breast in the burgers is pretty decent and usually much better than Maccas.

[@Vicky_C87]

American KFC is gross.

[@DaBoomDude]

In Australia, the quality of KFC does vary from store to store. The level of greasiness If the chips are cooked properly But more importantly is the time you go and order.. go in when they're busy or just after the meal rush - all the chicken is fresh, crispy stuff is crispy as opposed to rubbery, and the chips are hot enough to burn your fingers.

[@guyb7995]

Just got a bit expensive as late, but lets face it, they all have.

[@paul-Ess]

It was alright 30 odd years ago.

[@stephanieyee9784]

I don't think Americans know what Maccas is. McDonald's.

[@unsub0007]

The reference to the 37 boxes of chicken for a tarago with someone playing ukulele in the back is referring to people of Polynesian Island decent who are usually large humans that can smash an impressive amount of food and are partial to some KFC. Oh and a tarago is a van.

[@RolandDeschain1]

No kidding, there is a Samoan family not too far from me and they have TWO vans parked in their driveway. Lovely people and, yes, they are quite... sizeable.

[@vinsgraphics]

My American ex-wife, while in Australia during a failed attempt at living there full-time (long story) was particularly rude to a KFC employee. In the US chicken meat is described as either white meat (breast/wing) or dark meat (leg/thigh). That’s not a thing in Australia. She could not fathom this, and went ballistic. One of many times I was overtly embarrassed, and sorry for the victim. I cured that when I brought her back to the US and dumped her. It was only a test marriage. I found a winner shortly thereafter.

[@Janis.7-]

Good man!

[@danielponiatowski7368]

is that what thats about, i noticed on some programs when they have their thanksgiving (the indians the shaft) day the white or dark meat question is asked. i wondered what kind of fukd up turkeys they have over there.

[@vinsgraphics]

@@danielponiatowski7368 On a turkey, the color distinction is more noticeable than a chicken. The dark meat is shades darker than the light. For a lot of people, it’s all the difference, they may prefer one over the other.

[@tiahgrey2846]

Yep in Australia you get what your given unless you ask for the specific cut. I always ask for thigh

[@judithstrachan9399]

Yay, I like breast or rib, my daughter wants thigh. Red Rooster, though. At KFC we get nuggets, especially while they have the $8 box of 18. I’m so tired of nuggets…..

[@merribell]

The 'zinger' range is the spicy option.

[@levlylove]

Yep, most Aussie KFC's serve canned drinks, or 600ml bottle if you upsize.

[@vickityson5259]

Agreed. Unless you're buying from a KFC in a shopping centre food court, then you get post mix in a cup.

[@levlylove]

@@vickityson5259 Even a lot of those do the cans and bottles, but yeah, that's usually where the exceptions are.

[@andyossie]

I get the bottle of orange juice because I don't like Pepsi and I don't like solo very much either

[@judithstrachan9399]

I don’t like Pepsi drinks, but Coke seems to be disappearing from fast food places. KFC is owned by PepsiCo, so can’t help that. Then Dominos did a deal & now Red Rooster has sold out, too. Not happy, Jan.

[@DarkMatter1992]

I haven't had KFC in over 5 years now, I don't miss it. I remember how bad I felt after eating it, didn't matter which store location it was from. For me, Red Rooster has always been superior.

[@stevenmccloughan]

You mean to say that after eating a heap of deep fried chicken soaked in oil you didn’t feel the best afterwards? Thats rough mate. Maybe slow down to chew next time?

[@DarkMatter1992]

[@ElmosMum8]

[@georgepapas8878]

I have been to KFC in the States and in Straya and I can confirm Aussie KFC is way better. Basically we have stricter laws around chicken that means the quality is much higher. Also I don’t know why but from what I experienced we also have larger range. Ps I come from 2 generations of Chicken shop owners and we still love KFC. My dad once hid in the car so a customer from our chicken shop didn’t see him eating in KFC😅😂😂

[@xDRAGONSTARx]

G'day Ryan! We don't have free re-fills like ya'll do in the USA... so it's either a can or a bottle. I always go the can cause the drink stays cooler IMO :)

[@continental_drift]

About the cans. When the outlet uses Postmix, they reduce the amount if syrup to the point where the drink is just cold without any flavour, with cans you know what you are getting.

[@valsyaranamual6853]

What is Postmix?

[@continental_drift]

@@valsyaranamual6853 Postmix Postmix refers to the system in which a flavored syrup (concentrate) of the soft drink is shipped to the retailer, usually in a returnable tank or a disposable bag-in-box container. At the point of sale, the soft drink is mixed to order from the postmix syrup, chilled and purified water, and carbon dioxide (from a gas cylinder), and usually dispensed from a soda fountain or soda gun. REf: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premix_and_postmix Cheers

[@cassandramcfadyen1988]

None of those things have ever happened to me at KFC. except the missing food. 😂

[@icecream5125]

Another case of kfc forgettingfulness

[@judithstrachan9399]

I usually ask for a FULL gravy, please! And I have complained bitterly about not being able to get large gravy any more. My local manager has said I’m too nice to be a Karen, so that’s an indication. We only have one within 100km, so I used to bring ALL their mistakes to their attention.

[@FionaEm]

I wouldn't say KFC is beloved down here - but we do have a high opinion of their fries 😁 The guys who make the Garn videos are total legends 😊 How they get access to film in our best known fast food chains, supermarkets, hardware chains etc is beyond me!

[@judithstrachan9399]

Yes, i must admit, when they get the chips right (most of the time) they are awesome.

[@RobynLester-me7su]

K.F.C is the kind of once a year thing, cus it takes that long to forget about how you feel after consumption, but if you crave junk food when n you rarely eat it, Kentucky comes to mind. Their sweet chilli/Aioli wraps are good.

[@valsyaranamual6853]

Red Rooster!

[@andyossie]

The zinger is a hot and spicy option for the original recipe as an outside coating of the chicken pieces or fillets. My all time favourite thing for a long time was the Zinger Works burger. It had bacon, cheese and pineapple added to the burger in the hot and spicy chicken fillet combined was just beautiful and they took it off the menu close to 10 years ago 😢. Don't understand why they took that away when it was one the nicest things on the menu.

[@stanleywiggins5047]

We don't have KFC hear in my town, the closest is 65km away, yet I still see the red & white boxes in the bins in front of Woolies or the main Street & servo's. If I have to go to Bunnings 65km away afterwards I pop in to KFC for a 3 pice feed. ( 2 or 3 times a year)

KFC in Australia was good when I was a kid 40 years ago. It used to be fresh with crunchy batter, even after a 10 minute drive home. It went to shit about 30 years ago, and was soggy pretty much straight over the counter.

[@WayneCook306]

Yes it was.

[@valsyaranamual6853]

Yes. Not as good as it used to be!

[@unsub0007]

[@Angarl]

Having tired KFC both here in Australia and also when I visited the USA, it's made very differently. USA KFC actually tastes awful by comparison. Also the chips at KFC here in AUS are the best, only NZ have something close to them.

[@mattreynolds7729]

A mate of mine moved to New York for 5 years, and on returning just last month, the first thing he did was go to a KFC here in Sydney. He said the US version is awful compare to the AU version, specifically how greasy the US version is.

[@bucinsk]

KFC has really dropped standards in Aus over the last few decades. Pieces are tiny, indicating cheap, small chickens. For people who like Southern Style fried chicken, try Red Rooster. Amazed me at how good it is in comparison.

[@Rosebud4u1]

Red Rooster my go to! So much better then & they do fried chicken now... my fav the roast chicken meal & the chicken roll with pineapple fritter!

[@indigocheetah4172]

The last time we had Red Roo, it was awful. That was several years ago. Now that my memory has been cleansed I might give it a go.

[@judithstrachan9399]

Sigh. I want Red now…..

[@LM-369]

Both my kids work at KFC and my son just finished his shift. I showed him the part where they run out of chicken and he said that happened today and the customer just couldn’t understand and refused to believe him and just kept trying to order it. My son got all riled up watching this, I think I triggered him 😂

[@ilovecake172]

here's your answer to what is a crusher: a crusher is a discontinued Australian KFC drink where they would get cookie bits and blend it into a smoothie for 10 seconds and throw the concoction into a large clear cup with a straw a so big you can stuff your pinky into it

[@clifftucker8721]

Our local KFC has 'no chicken Tuesdays'. Definitely been going down hill since the colonel died. I end up going with either 'Red Rooster' roast chicken and some places take away places have 'GFC' brand 'Golden Fried Chicken' which is what KFC used to be like about 20 years ago, large pieces and delicious without the tummy troubles. Garn is a legend!

[@Sab1th]

Garn is in my hometown and this man is a national treasure

[@SerenitySoonish]

I would say most fast food chains have soft drink in cans/bottles here except Maccas and HJs(burger king) that I can think of

[@larainecurry4566]

That of course is a sendup and the shops are spotless and the staff are immaculate and polite and you are served through a W indoor not an idiot on the drive l don't know anybody who has had undercooked food either .

[@katherineschmidt2075]

Well they only get deliveries like 3 times a week, they do run out of stuff, quite regularly. Especially around 9pm onwards( closes at 10pm).order a Streetwise Feast and get all chicken tenders and nuggets with chips instead of 4 pieces chicken, 8 tenders and 8 nuggets and 2 large chips. The drink cans are the small size meal, you can get the 600ml bottle for large or the 1.25L bottle with the big boxes. Zinger burgers are the best. Like buffalo wings seasoning on it, in taste/ spice.

[@Danceofmasks]

If you have to ask the question, Ryan, you obviously haven't seen any of several videos titled something like "KFC is great everywhere except USA"

A Zinger is a Burger with chilli in the 'crust'. Here in Tassie we have a home grown version of KFC. It's called "Legs & Breasts". True.

[@norinickrrostron9001]

Garn means going. For example... Are ya garn the footy Sundee?...means Are you going to the football on Sunday?

I have not bought KFC for many years. when I was still working we had a KFC around the corner. I usually took my lunch or dinner to work but occasionally i would get takeaway. I went to KFC several times but each time I was ill and since then have never patronised any KFC store.

[@davidbrown9015]

I have KFC about once a year and each time vow never again. Sometimes it's good....but usually not so good. I like their coleslaw but probably because it's full of sugar. My favourite was a 3 piece dinner box but it has become more expensive and often contains at least one piece of "battered ribs".

[@gavinyoung7085]

Original recipe all the way. I used to always get a zinger burger combo but 10 or 12 years ago I did a switch and been loving the original recipe ever since. My local KFC is pretty good.

[@systemsrenegade9888]

That's why i call it Kentucky Chuck .

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Kentucky Fried Chook!!

[@indiasky]

Everyone goes crazy for Zinger Boxs

[@kierengert6177]

So the Zinger Burger is basically a hot & spicy chicken sandwich. Basically a hot and spicy chicken fillet with lettuce and mayo. I say its a sandwich because I know (at least some) Americans get very particular about defining what a burger is. Many of you guys insist that burgers are strictly beef patties between burger buns, that if it's chicken it can't be a burger, it is a sandwich. Here in Aus, if its something between a burger bun, we'll call it a burger. Also, KFC is pretty good when you have that specific craving for it, just be ready for the hot'n spicy KFC regret that comes after, its a trip but sometimes worth it.

[@me1ody505]

garn is a national treasure

[@stephengeorge7510]

Have not eaten KFC for 50 years. Then a friend of mine who worked there described cutting tummors of the chickens before adding the herbs and spices.

[@Sponggybobbie]

Yeah kfc serves drinks in a can, better than McDonald’s flavoured water though

[@KT-ki2nv]

Garn might be a play on the Aussie pronunciation and shortening of words for ‘Go On’, ‘Give it a go’.

Try the wicked wings, spicy and crisp chichen wings..and it comes in a meal or by pcs. You can have 6 or 10 pcsmeal deal large for $18 at current price. The best meal in KFC

[@tacitdionysus3220]

If you haven't sussed to his name yet, it's based on the phrase "Go and get fuc...d! That gets shortened to just 'Go an...', then the 'oa' diphthong is modified to sound like 'Garn' (preferably sadly loudly, with flat vowels and an inflection implying something between disdain and mild contempt.).

[@LikkieAU]

kfc is one of those things you either love or don't, for me i'll eat it once every few years because i used to love the chicken when i was a kid. but now i've learnt the chicken is always disappointing now so a zinger burger meal will do. i'd prefer hungry jacks any day.
