Would we miss KFC if it grilled its last chicken tomorrow?

KFC is promoting the crap out of its grilled and fried chicken (5,000 US stores to soon give it away for free) but a restaurant analyst (Larry) recently said KFC’s latest performance report was disappointing.

I thought, will we miss it when it’s gone?

The majority of the bones in my body (82%, incl. the little ones inside my inner ear) say NO.

Reasons we won’t miss it:

There will still be 3,489,842,909 fast food joints out there. KFC could disappear at noon and we wouldn’t even burp at its passing

There are 4 billion other distractions to occupy our frazzled brains. E.g., where are my car keys?

Many people are too busy making their own sandwiches to care. They’re thinking of saving money instead


Of all the reasons (yes, there are likely others), I like the last one best.

Tuna on whole wheat is not only healthier but it’s always nice to learn a new skill.

Do you know how to make a healthy sandwich?

What’s for lunch?

KFC who?

So very true. Last summer I went to a potluck and someone brought a bucket of KFC (although they put it in a roasting pan to make it look "homemade") and another guest exclaimed delightedly "Oh! Fried chicken!". Not ten minutes later, the same person moaned in despair "Oh! Fried chicken!" because of the awful effects KFC has on pretty much any stomach (it sits like a rock, and later you do something that rhymes with "sits like a rock").
