No wonder things like this happen in anime:
Japan is importing the best of American culture.Follow
I wonder if they think we're insane too.
I'm gonna have to check if they have that here in the UK. Other than missing a few key sides, I actually like KFC over here better than back home in the States... McDonalds on the other hand, well that sucks here. Fries aren't salty, McNuggets aren't processed pieces of scrap chicken goodness, and you can't supersize!!!!
didn't mcdonalds get rid of supersize after that movie?

It is correct in saying there is no longer a Super Size size. I went a few years without ever eating in a fast food joint, and then one day needed to feed myself and didn't feel like cooking. Upon going to a McD's and ordering I said "Can I get that Super Sized?" and all the workers glared at me like I was some out of the loop hipster. I was told "We no long offer that size, but is Large ok?".
This was a few year back, and it was not too longer after that movie. So it did have a role, but their Large is still more then you should eat

Thing is ******* disgusting and I'd be wiling to try deep fried bacon wrapped in bacon. I had one a while back and it was just gross. Might have been better if dipped in gravy. Seriously though, if you want fried chicken, you're better off making it yourself. It's ridiculously easy to make a decent dredge with buttermilk/flour/cornmeal/whatever and then just heat peanut oil up and fry those badboys.
Makes KFC look like the ******* joke that it is.

I can't in good faith denounce anything that uses fried chicken as buns. I just don't have the heart.

I can certainly understand and agree with this sentiment but it's just too much. It's like Cold Stone Creamery (or any heavy cream ice cream). You take one bite and go "Hmm, this isn't bad" while using the Obama not bad face. Then you take a second bite and just want to go curl up in a corner somewhere and die. DO NOT WANT.

not a fan of cold stone creamery icecream
I live in Madison. We have Babcock Hall where we take our **** for serious. **** your "poosie" Cold Stone. This **** is in the middle of the UW-Madison campus and has the cows on site. They make ice cream that will steal the lunch money from Cold Stone, buy some ****** boxed chocolates, give them to the mother of Cold Stone and **** her while Cold Stone is trying to sleep.

Everybody always tells me how good Wisconsin cheese/ice cream is, but I've never been all that impressed with it. If I ever go there, I'll have to get it directly from the source, because the best ice cream I've ever had was at the in-building shop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory in Oregon. Packaged, Tillamook ice cream is good, and Tillamook cheese is great, but it always tastes better when I get it directly from the source, so I assume WI cheese/ice cream will taste better if I get it in-house as well.

I think I should eat some more cheese to celebrate this thread
Wisconsin cheese is ****.. Cheese Curds is where it's at, everything else can be replicated, but fried (or straight) curds from the cheese state are amazing!
Speaking of Japan and KFC, I found this mildly interesting(ran across it due to a Cracked article).
Quote:
In 1985, much to Japanese people's surprise,[3] the Hanshin Tigers faced the Seibu Lions and took their first and only victory in the Japan Series, largely due to star slugger Randy Bass,[4][7] an American playing for the team.
The fan base went wild, and a riotous celebration gathered at Ebisubashi Bridge in DÅtonbori, Osaka. There, an assemblage of supporters yelled the players' names, and with every name a fan resembling a member of the victorious team leapt from the bridge into the waiting canal. However, lacking someone to imitate MVP Randy Bass, the rabid crowd seized a plastic statue of Colonel Sanders (like Bass, the Colonel had a beard and was not Japanese) from a nearby KFC and tossed it off the bridge as an effigy.[4]
According to the urban legend, this impulsive maneuver cost the team greatly, beginning the Curse of the Colonel[1], which states that the Tigers will not win the championship again until the statue is recovered.[5] Subsequently, numerous attempts have been made to recover the statue, often as a part of variety TV show. Most of the statue was recovered in March, 2009.

It gets weirder. As a result of the Curse of the Colonel, the KFC Colonel became a symbol of a vengeful old man, and as such there is plenty of Colonel-on-unwilling-Japanese-lady Rule 34 out there. I wish I were making that up.

Also, apparently KFCs in Japan are packed on Christmas (not by Gaijin; by natives) to the point where you need reservations to get in. I'm guessing it has something to do with KFC being a poor, poor substitute for a real Christmas dinner, and American military stationed there not being able to do better, leading Japanese people to think American people eat at KFC at Christmas, and incorporating it into their Christmas celebrations.
This is according to my ex-girlfriend (from Aomori), so I'm not sure whether she was being serious or ******** with me at the time, but it sounded legit to me when she explained it.

KFC's popularity can be traced back to a highly successful marketing campaign that began nearly 40 years ago.
At the time, the Christmas holiday wasn't as widely celebrated in Japan.
Yokokawa says many foreigners came to eat at KFC because they couldn't find a whole turkey or chicken anywhere else.
A KFC employee saw an opportunity to cash in, and the company launched its first Christmas meal in 1974: chicken and wine for $10, a pricey meal at the time.
"The Japanese are keen to celebrate Christmas in a non-religious way," said Roy Larke, a Rikkyo University Business Professor. "There's a certain amount of nostalgia attached to the KFC Christmas meal. People try to pass the tradition onto their children."
