    Their potato wedges were their best item. Full stop. Where I am, all their other sides and chicken are subpar at best, so when they got rid of the wedges, there was no reason to ever go back.

    Fun fact about me: My grandmother actually met the Colonel a few times in her youth because my hometown had the first KFC location in the province. … and in 2012 the daughter of the one who held the franchising contract tried to turn it into a home cooked meal restaurant called “Oppy’s Diner” but failed due to several logistical problems, including poor customer AND employee reception. Needless to say that their competitor Mary Brown’s had a VERY good business year that year. 😂 (btw if you’re ever in Newfoundland, Mary Brown’s is a must try!)

    That's really cool! My Grandma and her brother (so my Great Uncle) both met and directly worked with the Colonel back in their prime. They even both have photos with him, both as a group with a bunch of other people and just them with the Colonel. In fact, I likely wouldn't even exist if it weren't for KFC, as my Grandma and Grandpa first met at KFC (unfortunate for them and what came of their relationship, but fortunate for me 😅), and my Mum and all her sisters worked at KFC too. In fact, my aunt manages and owns a couple of KFC restaurants. Long line of KFC history in my family, even if I find the restauraunt to be somewhat revolting.

Which is, you guessed it, a pickle themed festival. It used to take place on a bridge but has since grown so large that they've begun to spill over to the surrounding streets. Pittsburgh also has a massive Furry Convention so they've got all the bases covered.

    That last one is interesting because Hungry Jacks also had wedges for a time. I remember when I was working for them around the time it was released and it was fairly popular and honestly didn't take much more time to cook them and they were argueably better then the chips they had at the time. I also remember when they used to have the Chicken Crunch burger. It was a chicken burger with I think cornflakes and some kind of seasoning that made a really delicious crunchy burger that was just the best. Actually Hungry Jack went through a lot of different menu items around that time and not many stuck, apart from the Angus burgers.

    I had no idea that only America had Potato Wedges as the fry option. I don't eat KFC very often (I prefer Popeye's) but the last time I had KFC there were potato wedges, so I guess it had to be in 2019 or in 2020. You mentioned that fries are a lot easier to cook than wedges, and that is true. But I also feel like they did this to compete with McDonald Fries and especially Popeye's Cajun Fries. When I was going up, Popeye's was a real threat to KFC, and Popeye's more spicy menu options were giving them a clear edge in the 90s and 2000s. I feel like them replacing the potato wedges was a bad idea in America, as it was a pretty iconic staple of KFC for a lot of people. It made them stand out as one of the few fast food places that had potato wedges at the ready anytime. And just having fries just seems like a downgrade to me. If I wanted plain salted fries, I'd go to a burger joint.

    PhantomStrider videos are always a delight, and this one was one of the funniest ones! As for my personal opinion on a few of these items? 1: KFC Roast Beef. I have no doubts KFC might have still been good back in the 60s/70s, but I don't know about KFC Roast Beef. Also, Arby's exists, so that makes anyone else trying redundant. I do feel bad for the Rax Roast Beef chain though, as they had a lot of delightfuly unique items, but unfortunately lost their identity. 2: KFC Nachos. I love chicken, and I ADORE nachos. But together? 🤮 🤢 🤮 🤢 😵‍💫 3: KFC Airline Food. No comment. 4: Scoffee Cups. I acutally really love the idea! Not only is it a creative solution to pollution, but the fact the edible coffee cups have CHOCOLATE is always a plus for me. 5: Double Down Dog. Much like KFC Nachos, I like the ingredients [chicken and hot dogs], alone, but not together. And given KFC has a reputation of being gross [Colonel Sanders should have never sold the chain, and he's likely rolling in his grave from modern KFC's quality], I don't trust them. However, there is a particular fast food menu item I personally think makes the Double Down Dog look tasty in comparison: Long John Silver's Big Catch Meal. It has 1,320 CALORIES and that's not even the worst of it! Ever since this meal appeared [and thankfully quickly vanished], Long John Silver's quality has completely gone to garbage! While I myself never got the chance to eat at one, I have heard that the Long John Silver's chain was better in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Then PepsiCo bought in in the 90s, and that's the start of the downfall. I should point out this is a recurring pattern with every restaurant PepsiCo buys out, like KFC, Taco Bell [Nacho Fries are still good though], and Pizza Hut. And I personally think that's a shame, as I love the Treasure Island story and I wish the Long John Silver's chain could have continued to honor the story and its legacy. You don't even see ANY Treasure Island theming in a Long John Silver's restaurant these days, not even Long John Silver himself. Question for Josh: Have you ever seen the documentary Claydream? It's the story of Will Vinton, his studio, and how he lost EVERYTHING. I won't spoil it, but it is a very bittersweet story and I highly recommend watching Claydream.

    I can see the outrage from the KFC fries. Even if I didn't like the wedges the fries are similar to Wing City fries you could get at any Pizza Hut. And recently KFC ditched Popcorn Chicken for nuggets that taste like weaker Chikfila nuggets, and this is just to keep up with trends.

Never saw or heard anything about it, I just walked back one day to put something back in the houseware department and experienced the weirdest doubletake in my life. Never saw anyone purchase it (I was a cashier at the time), and I dont know when or more importantly, HOW we got rid of it, haha.

    I remember in Malaysia, every menu set came with fries but it also has wedges as a separate menu item called the Cheezy Wedges which is a bunch of wedges soaked on cheese sauce. Sometime during the pandemic, they stopped selling the wedges due to a potato shortage (happened to other fast food joints like Mcd as well who had to limit their fries) Not sure if they still sell wedges since I've gradually stopped going to KFC due to the price hike and my preference to other fast food joints like Jolibee.

    You forgot to mention the veggie tenders. As I stated in a previous post, KFC attempted to appeal to the Vegitarian consumer by introducing them last spring. From my own POV, I found them awful. They were supposed to be coated with the 11 herbs and spices, but you really couldn't taste it, every bite was saturated with cooking oil, it was gross.
