KFC has been in Australia for 50 years!

Post by Neferti » Wed Apr 25, 2018 3:53 pm

Apparently!

KFC’s first Australian menu released as fast food chain celebrates 50 years down under
IT DOESN’T sound very exciting, but half a century ago a “Thrift Box” was a menu option at KFC.

The pack, containing nine pieces of the Colonel’s Secret Recipe chicken, sold for a very reasonable $1.59. A bucket of nine pieces of chicken today would set you back almost $25.

If that wasn’t thrifty enough for you, how about a lunch pack of a single piece of chicken and chips for a mere 49c?

The global chicken chain has released one of its first Australian menus to commemorate the 50th anniversary since opening its first store in the country.

KFC now proclaims that it uses 11 "herbs and spices" in their fried chicken recipe.

When they first arrived in Australia, it used to be 12. Why the change? Someone pointed out that salt isn't a herb or a spice...

Neither is MSG.

Just a thought.
