I got e-mailed this by a buddy of mine. Just thought I'd spread it along. I can't confirm if it's really true or not, but I'm not eating there ever again.

>>>>There is a article on www.snopes.com that addresses urban legends that says the story is untrue, even without it you'd have to doubt it's legitimacy. No way the government would allow this. One reason I heard KFC changed their name is because the Commonwealth of Kentucky has some sort of royalty rights on the states title sake "Kentucky" so any business that used "Kentucky" has to pay the state a royalty fee so Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC to keep from having to pay the Commonwealth of Kentucky any fees. Or so I hear.

 

a friend of mine told me about the legless chickens. I think they added the 3rd breast idea too.

If it was true, the news would jump on it like white on rice. Media loves that stuff.

Hmmm....white rice sounds like the PERFECT side dish for the Extra [not chicken] breast...with lots of KFC gravy....tell me at least THAT'S real!!!

 

Gone is the slogan "We do chicken right" ?

 

Good one, Dun!

You know, even if those rumors are true, who cares? I still think it tastes great!

 

Well since TriCo owns KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, my question is: What is the taco meat made of?

Anybody tried a Chalupa yet? Very tasty.

 

seacrow, I like the Santa Fe Chalupa best. This thread HAS made me nervous about 'KFC' though. It also makes me wonder about 'F150'. Why doesn't Ford spell it out? That's one of the main reasons I'm going on the assembly plant tour in June, to find out what's really in these things.

KFC...

We do chicken...

right?

 

Hmmm, taco meat? Probably just from the rats caught at the KFC wannabechicken lab. Or the chickens that didn't make it. They probably let them "age" so you get that beefy color to the meat.

I don't think it's true. We just figured out how to clone sheep. How the heck are ya gonna reproduce a chicken that's not really a chicken???

Hmmm....Very Interesting. My brother-in-law owns a KFC. I'll have to ask him about this one. Them chickens taste goooooooood though!

 

I had an Uncle that once tried to clone a 3 legged chicken - never found out how it tasted though - he could not CATCH the sucker

In upholding the American Tradition KFC is promoting special chicken buckets to honor Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The special bucket of "Hillary" chicken is an assembly of large thighs and small breasts while the "Slick Willie" bucket is an assembly of left wings and a$$holes.....
