According to New York food-trend expert Dianne Keeler Bruce, consumers now have more options for eating lunch on the go, and today shorter lunches don't necessarily mean unhealthy lunches, as in the past. Convenience foods, like sandwiches, are extremely popular offering consumers variety, quality, and if selected carefully, healthy options at lunch. With the new sandwich line, Americans now can enjoy KFC both in a bucket and on a bun. Only three percent of those surveyed take the traditional hour-long lunch break. Many working Americans don't even leave their desk for lunch.
Sandwiches are the top choice at lunch, beating out salads, pizza, soup and pasta.
The chicken experts at KFC took the sandwich industry by storm in September 1999 by introducing five freshly made chicken sandwiches. Since its founding by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952, KFC has been serving customers delicious, already-prepared complete family meals at affordable prices. There are more than 10,300 KFC outlets in 83 countries around the world serving nearly 8 million customers each day.
