So somebody at one point said hey there's a billion people, let's go sell them chicken, pizza and tacos.

I don't know if they've introduced Taco Bell to China yet.  I do seem to remember something about experimenting with Pizza Hut over there.

As far as I know, he isn't a man on the street. More like man in the tall tower.

Man in the High Castle?

Man in the High Castle?

No, apparently he is quite real - though as I didn't seem him, I feel free to disregard said photographic evidence.

Conquer before Coke does, eh.

I wonder if they would consider switching to Coke. I know they used to be owned by Pepsi, but Coke tends to have a much stronger presence overseas.

Man in the High Castle?

Better than Man in the White Castle.

Apparently, Yum brands gets 52% of their income from China. That's KFC and Pizza Hut.


Chinese people must really like fried chicken.

Yeah, I've heard that KFC is extremely popular over there.

Mono:  would you eat at a KFC?

I'm curious what the man on the street in China thinks about KFC.

Everybody in HK lives with a tower though.

Common law tower?

KFC is crazy popular in East Asia and the Middle East.
We don't even have it here

Incidentally despite Japanese McDonalds being better than you get in Europe, Japanese KFC is awful. And expensive.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah, Japanese McDonald's is better than the US version as well (or at last it was at the time, I haven't had McD's in a while, but supposedly they're trying to improve their shit here).  I don't remember ever wandering in to a KFC over there. 

Heh, it often seems to me, anecdotally, that there is an inverse relationship between the amount of cash spent on a wedding, and its longevity. 

Spent $150 or so getting married.  14th anniversary coming up in February.   We're weird outliers though.  Early 20's (I was 21, she was 23), I got deployed for a year only 4 months or so after getting married, only knew each other for like 6 weeks before.

[Valmy]

My kids make me go McDonald's now and their chicken sandwiches are alright. Granted I wouldn't eat one otherwise but you know.

[The Brain]

I go MacDonald myself every now and then.

[crazy canuck]

It has been years since we had KFC.  We had some chicken a couple of weeks ago.  It was not at all what I remember - which was pretty good.  This was greasy and small pieces.  I don't think we are going to have it again.

[Zanza]

I had a wrap with some chicken earlier this year at KFC.

I regretted it afterwards and do not plan to ever go there again. 

[Eddie Teach]

If it's not greasy, it's not fried chicken.

When I get the craving, I usually get some from the grocery store. Much better value than KFC.
