Harlan Sanders( The Colonel) use to drive around in a big white Cadillac, here in Kentucky, and visit all the Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurants in the Louisville KY area and show the staff how to fix ' his chicken'. Thing is, Harlan didn't own Kentucky Fried Chicken, he was just a spokesman at this time but Corporate HQ in Louisville wouldn't say anything...they said ' You can't tell the former owner & founder not to do it!' LOL! Fun fact: There is only two (2) places left to get Chicken fixed the way Harlan fixed it....one is in the Experimental Kitchen at Corporate HQ ( It's tested against other ways of preparation) but regular folks can't get from there. The other place is in Simpsonville, KY ( outside Louisville) at The Claudia Sanders Dinner House, the last restaurant Harlan opened. His Mansion sets in front of Claudia Sanders.

Back in the day when the Colonel was still around, he personally attended the grand opening of each new restaurant. My mom met him in 1960 when she was young at the grand opening in our home town. Pretty cool story. Eventually a second one opened in town when i was young but the Colonel was no longer around. Unfortunately both locations are gone now. I've noticed that in general around my region that many of the KFCs are gone. Not sure if it's because of their hogh prices, which are really high now for fast food, or due to competition like Popeyes and Chick-fil-A, which seem to be popping up all over now. I am yet to have either but want to yo try both at some point. I was always a big KFC fan, it reminds me of childhood my mom would always take me there when my dad was away for a business trip as a treat and I swear I heard the story about meeting the Colonel a hundred times!

KFC should have sponsored this

The 1977 commercial featuring the 2 obese children Hugo and Holly going to get Kentucky Fried Chicken in the car with their parents, is still the best commercial I’ve ever seen. I don’t usually like to watch ads but that’s one I’d love to make a come back. Thanks Rhett. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

Popcorn chicken is still available in the U.K. but they done away with the BBQ snack wrap, that was my favourite! 2 of those with fries was my go to. 😋

That bean salad was the bomb. I make it all the time for BBQs and everyone always raves on about how good it is.

Extra tasty crispy chicken. It was a pilot test they did in the 1990s and it was really good.

Kentucky Fried Chicken has always been my favorite fast food chain just because of the great sides.

The three-bean salad was terrific - the acid helped to cut through the greasy meal. Kentucky Fried Chicken was a special treat for the Family. It was a special Sunday when Dad brough home a Bucket!

A bit before my time, but I've heard people from the 70s say that KFC had some amazing beer ribs back in the 70s. They were pressure cooked, just like their chicken, and made with an amazing sauce. I have anyways been intrigued by that and want to try it once.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Zinger sandwich from the late 90's to early 2000's. Around 2002 they introduced their first wraps and one of options was a Zinger wrap. I used to obsess over that Zinger sauce! So much so, that the manager of the Belleville, Michigan location would let me take individual little containers of it with me to put on sandwiches I would make for myself at home. Wonderful stuff! I miss the Zinger sandwich and wrap to this day.
