Doc Holliday Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Whilst entertaining Mrs H's brood on Boxing Day, we were playing some logo board game and a question came up about KFC which promptly prompted a flurry of remarks about why they don't use the word 'chicken' in any of their products. This was promptly followed up with a photo procured via the web of a four legged (and four winged) featherless chicken. Needless to say there didn't seem to hardly any meat on the bird in question but it was gasped and commented on by all, well nearly all. Personally I didn't believe it for a moment as I couldn't see how they would ever catch one. I dare say KFC have their reasons for not using the word chicken in their products, mainly because they assume that most folk, if not all, would be fairly savvy as to the main content of their meat products would be hinted at in the 'C' of KFC. Still, I could be wrong. So, the vein of my thread was to see what other urban myths/legends were out there. I think we're all fairly familiar with poor old Richard Gere and the unfortunate hamster/gerbil one so anything else would be welcome.

Thunderbird Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 There's the Captain Pugwash one, you know, the one where people swear it had characters called 'Seaman Stains' and 'Roger the Cabin Boy' etc. Utter poppycock.

Still, I could be wrong. I think I read therebranding was more to do with removing the word fried due to a worldwide down turn in sales. people saw KFC as healthier than fried chicken.

Confirmed by a great series on BBC4 called " The secret life of the motorway" Some nutters think that there is an alien base at the bottom of the dam wall too.

Doc Holliday Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 They use the word Chicken in the names of lots of their products. http://www.kfc.co.uk/our-food Fair do's Zapp. I hold my hands up and plead my ignorance, seeing as I've never been in a KFC in my life I am totally unfamiliar with their products. However, a swift perusal of their website as you had done would have dispelled any and all allegations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farmer said he stopped lending tools out to broken down motorists as he never got them back I certainly wouldn't want to live there as the noise must be horrendous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many H&S myths which arise from incompetent employees, or companies disguising poor customer service as a 'H&S issue' that the HSE has a 'myth busters' section of their website.
