I don't know why but I'm suddenly craving fried chicken

[@Slobbercat]

RT was the real JOHN KFC all along...oh gods...

[@Garden_Warfare_Gaming]

[@Zandofle]

Yeah, but did you play the game on the KFC console?

[@diegojimenez579]

Why did you change the name of the video RT?

[@MagicCookieGaming]

@@diegojimenez579 people will normally do that if a video under-performs or just to boost it in the algorithm, not sure as to why completely or he was just unhappy with the original title.

[@StickMaster500]

The fact that there was an actual John KFC working on this Dating Sim shows that this game is canon to the KFCU

[@boots1070]

There is two ways to interpret that acronym The Kentucky Fried Chicken Universe or The Kentucky Fried Cinematic Universe

[@theholyketchup6445]

And RT is canonically a part of it.

[@sinom]

The Colonel is part of the DC comics universe and exists in most of the earths. So this is ofc cannon in the DC universe

[@pip4773]

KFCU…

[@Vrikrar]

He didn't say he worked on it, he said it was made by the US KFC, and when they released it, everyone else was surprised.

[@kot4311]

Definitely an unconventional marketing technique, but we’re still talking about this game to this day

Fun Fact: the actual real Colonel Sanders went into a KFC after he gave away the company and absolutely roasted it. He said the fried chicken was a “Goddamn dough ball stuck on some chicken, The Gravy and Mashed Potatoes were called “Goddamn Slop” and “Wallpaper paste”

[@sylph4252]

KFC sued him over it, lost and hired him to be a mascot instead

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

He was a very confrontational man . Honestly the real Colonel Sanders would fit perfectly working at a Waffle House rather than KFC

[@bayssart5632]

He didn't even make the recipe or method of cooking the chicken. It was one of his workers when the original place was a hotel/gas station.

[@TigirlakaLaserwolf6]

KFC isn't even that good. We have a local chain grocery store with a deli that ran them out of business lmao

[@KSmith-kp5jz]

The KFC in our neighborhood has a metal silhouette of Colonel Sanders on the curb. At night it looks like a man standing there, and he regularly scares drivers and pedestrians.

[@Vonias]

Makes sense. The Colonel *is* an eldritch being... they have every reason to be afraid.

[@YataTheFifteenth]

Legend says he shows up every time bad fried chicken is served. And that's why he's still the mascot of present-day KFC.

[@afterdawns]

this got cut out of the edit but on stream dan spent like 40 minutes talking about how he went to kfc once and one of the customers there started peeing into one of the buckets going yum yum yum and just kidding no he didnt. im lying. i missed this stream because i was writing an essay. sorry everyone.

Quite surprising, but now that you said it, it does make sense because both have quite a lot in common.

[@curvilinearcube8716]

The version of this story in your playthrough is that Colonel Sanders met someone named John KFC and used the fact that they were in love to take credit for a couple of their recipes and use their name for his restaurant. What a devious chicken man

I studied to become a baker and I gotta tell you, watching half of the class fail the required hygiene pass, which was so easy half the questions could be answered without studying, really curbs your appetite.

I can just imagine the creators of this game just sitting around and laughing their heads off while writing this. This is glorious.

[@TheChimpWP]

This game was soured for me personally due to a really specific situation, I decided to be a mentor/trainer one year in college at the university's radio station, and the person assigned to me just played this game while i was trying to train them. I tried being polite and just not bringing it up but after multiple hours-long sessions where i was hosting a show and training this guy, i just nicely asked him to pay attention and he explained to me one of his professors was giving his class extra credit for signing up for the radio station and he was just there for that. So i was stuck at my show while a stranger sat there and occasionally distracted me with totally unrelated stuff. This game always just reminds me of that time now, but hey i love the video! Keep up the great work man!

Also, being a sloppy child.) -Miriam, Wendy's? (the braids are like the only thing I can think of) -Sprinkles, who knows? Maybe an ode to classic chefs?
