KFC popcorn chicken boxes getting smaller?

[tvmercia]

On another KFC note, I bought a bargain bucket the other day and was quite shocked to find that they didn't package it in a bucket, but instead in regular boxes. Surely they're not discontinuing them?

All packaging seems to be getting smaller/less complete. It wasn't that long ago that a McDonalds Bacon Roll came in a long roll and a polystyrene box. Now it's been made round so that it can fit a paper burger wrapper.

Oh well, we shouldn't complain. Since they know that 99% of their packaging is going to go in a landfill rather than be recycledl, they might as well do what they can to cut down on it.

It has varied for me. I can't stand KFC anymore but when I used to have Bargain Buckets (along with others of course!) sometimes it would come in a bucket but 9/10 times would just be popped in the normal boxes.

It rocked my world.

a bargain bucket?! i'm not sure that counts as a tiny amount of very tasty food james. i think a barbeque dip would qualify though ... or one of those lemon fresh wipes.

Well as I say, I no longer have them since I've turned around to a new way of eating.

I've found that a small slice of Jane Asher's lemon drizzle cake suffices these days.

just got a popcorn chicken, the first real feast of kfc since the summer, i got a large, and the box seems to be a lot smaller - anybody else notice this, or am i going mad?

No, it's you getting bigger. At least, that's the excuse Cadbury's used when their making the Créme-yuk-eggs smaller was questioned on Watchdog (among various other products).
