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.

Aww that singing ad was fab...
"If I'd have known Mini Fillets were 99p... I'd have asked you to get me one! Sandra, can I have a bite?"
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, ooooooooooooooooooooooh, oohohohohohohoh...
...no."
Quality.

Only KFC will know. Oh, El Barto, the forum rules say your avatar must be a picture of yourself. You can't use bart in other words.

On a KFC note.
Isn't it OFCOM rules in the UK that a programme sponsor cannot advertise during said programme?
I've seen several ads for KFC during Home & Away, who are, in this country, sponsored by KFC.

I think the OFCOM rules have been relaxed.
KFC ads with the singing are the worst ever. "Serving up Shit" more like...

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.
