message: What places have hamburgers and chicken nuggets sold at KFC restaurants? I've never seen either where I live. Is it just a regional thing (I live in downstate Illinois), or are they not even sold in the United States? --ɛvɪs 06:08, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
Here in Australia, there's a diverse range of sides featuring Nuggets, Burgers, "Popcorn Chicken", Twisters, Potato and Gravy and the like.
::Nuggets are certainly in the ones here (western Middle Tennessee), which at least recently were part of a small franchise called Little Food Systems (reference to the name of a principal, not the company's relative size).  At one point, most of the KFC restaurants of my aquaintence in nearby Western Kentucky also featured "Colonel Sanders Beef 'n' Ham", which seemed a lot like Arby's and probably had nothing to do with the Colonel beyond the fact that their franchise agreement gave them the right to attach his name to them.  An interesting fact is that the Colonel was once sued by the Bowling Green, Kentucky francisee for slander when he publicly criticized their food; the Colonel used the "truth" defense and the judge found for him; the result was that they were forced to upgrade their quality to a higher standard.

thread_title: KFC name change

message: The Urban Legends Reference (http://snopes.com) is generally a reliable source, often cited on Wikipedia. However, in a series of pages, known as The Repository of Lost Legends (TROLL), the Snopes site spoofs itself. Among those pages is this one about KFC. The acronym TROLL is a clue that the pages in that particular section, including the KFC page, are not to be taken seriously. Please read their explanation before altering this article. In particular, note that Kentucky Fried Chicken did not change its name because Kentucky decided to trademark its name. --Tom Allen
:Thanks for the explanation. I did think the story had been discredited, but couldn't easily find a rebuttal, and in general, I don't allow anons to remove material without an explanation.-gadfium 03:46, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh! Well, I didn't mean you in particular! This particular Snopes page has caused considerable confusion, as the comments below indicate. I do agree that this article should include the link that you added to the Snopes page, along with the explanation. And I also agree that any edits by anons deserve close attention. --Tom Allen 01:08, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "  The company claims that suppliers of the seasonings each provide only parts of the recipe, and do not know each other's identity. (This is undoubtedly true, since the company that makes the tomato soup mix and the company that makes the Italian salad dressing mix are unrelated to each other.)  "
That's a huge non-sequitur; the suppliers of the seasonings could know each other regardless of whether or not the salad dressing company is related to the tomato soup company.  194.72.81.2 19:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
