Do chickens like fried chicken?

Anyone who likes Counting Crows AND Chie gets a pass for asking such an easy question, in my book.

(the answer is yes)

 

[jaxword]

So the U.S. gave Africa AIDS

You have a source for that claim?

 

[Steelrain]

There isn't a single person who doesn't love Fried Chicken and Watermelon. The only people not eating them either can't due to their diet or have other foods they like more (but they don't dislike fried chicken and watermelon)

I hate watermelon. I love fried chicken.

 

[toastyToast]

Chicken isn't really as common a meat over there so it also has that exotic factor.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I hate watermelon. I love fried chicken.

you just haven't had the right watermelon

 

[rezuth]

But not Norway.

But not Sweden

you just haven't had the right watermelon

The most plausible explanation for the emergence of the immunodeficiency virus in humans seems to be (hardly surprising) humans eating monkeys and other primates in west africa. The frequency of the different strains appearing even the in different west african populations, seems to be an indicator.

Yes, that's the commonly accepted theory done with some reasonable studying, up to the point where it entered the US and spread from there.

I was asking where his conspiracy theory about the US making AIDS came from.

 

[Veidt]

I know. I was just using it as a way to educate everyone about the real cause of AIDS in the world.

maybe from that boy in 1968 in Detroit? I figure that's where conspiracy theorists start.

 

[jaxword]

Oh yes, that patient "Mr. R".

However, since HIV was in Africa at least 10 years earlier, that sort of defeats that conspiracy theory.

I work with the logic that if there's a mystery that can be cleared up with someone telling a lie, then it's probably that. That 1968 boy could easily have been lying about his sexual experimentation.

My biggest problem with KFC is they charge a $4 delivery fee (in Canada) and the drivers still expect a tip. So unless you got a huge gathering of people you want to feed, it's just not worth it unless you go pick it up which defeats the purpose and you may as well just eat in a good restaurant.

kfc delivers wtf wtf

"In Kenya there is still a very virgin market that has not been fully tapped," he said.

Kenya does have fast food restaurants from South Africa, like the hamburger restaurant Steers. It also has Pizza Inn and Chicken Inn, but no American chains until now.

So the market is virgin just because it does not have american fastfood chains? yeah ok...

if you don't like fried chicken and watermelon. then motherfucker, there is something wrong with you.

THIS.

 

[Kola]

Poor Kenya.

WTF?! Amos & Andy was a white duo that stereotyped black people on radio, but was played by a black duo on TV who were acting out the white stereotype of black people. I...*head explodes*

I never knew Amos & Andy was racist (I'd heard the name on Family Guy I think but never knew anything about the show). God damn. This really happened.

 

[toastyToast]

kfc delivers wtf wtf

In Dubai pretty much every fast food chain delivers.

 

[Necromanti]

Among the many groups of children at KFC was Beverly Onyango, who turned 12 on Tuesday. Onyango, who has done quite a bit of international travel and is familiar with American fast food, named KFC as her favorite restaurant. She's eaten at outlets in Dubai and Thailand, but is happy to finally have one in Nairobi.

What the fuck? That poor, poor child... KFC tastes absolutely revolting in Dubai. When I had it in other places (London, Singapore, the US), it tasted so much better, and much more like real chicken.

 

[fanboi]

So it begins...
Another continent on its way to obesity!

Meanwhile in Africas Horn...

 

[Typhoon_Ex]

What they need is a Nando's

 

[electroshockwave]

I guess I NEED SCISSORS should maybe be unbanned....haha.

I was about to say the same thing.

Free this man!

 

[Naked Snake]

I remember when McD first opened here (Jordan), the queus and crowd resembled a huge rock concert. It was even more ridiculous in Moscow, the queue extended for blocks and you had to wait in line for an hour or so to get in. Crazy.

 

[Mr. Sam]

What they need is a Nando's

Completely slipped my mind but damn, you're right. Africa needs Nando's.

 

[schroddycat]

Free this man!

I don't get it. Why was that man banned? A KFC was built in Africa finally!

 

[Funky Papa]

Completely slipped my mind but damn, you're right. Africa needs Nando's.

I've only heard good things of Nando's from my SA peeps. Unfortunately there are no franchises in Europe besides the ones in the UK and Ireland

 

[Typhoon_Ex]

Completely slipped my mind but damn, you're right. Africa needs Nando's.

Nando's is African... South African to be more precise.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Nando's is African... South African to be more precise.

Seth Efrican to be even more precise.

As long as the melon isn't (even slightly) spongy, fucking hate that. If it's fresh and everything then yes

 

[345triangle]

there's a combination KFC and pizza hut like RIGHT in front of the great sphinx, but no-one ever takes photos from that angle. i was a little surprised.

Haha, I was eating pizza there yesterday lol.

I was gonna say I went to a combo KFC/Pizza Hut the last time I was in Egypt.

 

[Chuck (Old)]

Obligatory

 

[Why would you do that?]

I'm black and don't like watermelon. All melons are nasty to me...

I was about to say the same thing.

Free this man!

I don't think he was banned for making the KFC joke, but instead for his post a few posts above. Some mods have recently been saying that posts that amount to "nice" or things you'd do to a female will be bannable. That's likely why this poster in the same thread is banned.

Though it was a pretty interesting coincidence.

 

[jaxword]

I'm Vietnamese and we LOVE fried chicken and watermelon.

I'm black and I dislike fried chicken (though I like it in a good stew).

I think this makes me a racist or something.

 

[SyNapSe]

"This is a brand that everyone knows. They say the queue is long, but it's worth it. They don't mind the wait," Kithokoi said.

I don't know much of Kenyan life but it seems weird to me that brands like KFC have value in these other countries. A lady said she had been anticipating it for months. wow

 

[HeySeuss]

I read the title and laughed at the obvious racist jokes. Then I laughed again when I thought about the possibility of starving people downwind that would smell the food while starving to death.

I was relieved to see I wasn't the only one.

 

[J@hranimo]

Popeyes > KFC

.

 

[milanbaros]

It is a relatively small entry price to the 'aspirational' lifestyle. Is it really that hard to understand. You would probably get the same reaction to something like a starbucks. Its the not the quality, or the availability of alternatives its about what the brand says. Brands have different connotations in different parts of the world, I'm sorry if that is weird to you.

 

[Seanspeed]

"Well Kenya, we're all out of rice to send ya, but we're sending you something even better. Enjoy."

 

[twinturbo2]

Jesus... I'm laughing so hard.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Pretty much sums this up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ4B7G8Rw3Q

 

[D-Pad]

The jokes write themselves

.

Why does everyone like Popeye's? It's so bland tasting! The only thing good at Popeye's is the cajun red beans and rice.

Of course, when givin' a choice between Popeyes to salty KFC, I guess I would coin flip too...

There isn't a single person who doesn't love Fried Chicken and Watermelon. The only people not eating them either can't due to their diet or have other foods they like more (but they don't dislike fried chicken and watermelon)

I don't even like fried chicken, so there!

Spoiler

That's a lie. I like it, but shake-n-bake exists so I can live without the fried part if I had to

 

[bengraven]

I don't know, cheap food in an impoverished area. Can't go wrong.

 

[Go319]

TV news report on opening

so many people gag

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

I don't know, cheap food in an impoverished area. Can't go wrong.

At least one advantage is they tend to operate in with uniform standards of quality in material and cooking processes. I've actually heard that said as a reason why some in lower income areas prefer McDonalds to say a local restaurant. With one you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting and how you'll get it, the other not so much.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Popeyes > KFC

Real talk.

 

[questionmark]

Definitely the wrong East African country, should have opened in Somalia instead.

 

[crazy monkey]

I never liked fried chicken its too much oily besides I am trying to cut down on oil to almost nil. I like baked chicken though.
