They give you a bucket so you've got something to throw up in afterwards.Many years ago on the way home from the pub that I decided a brilliant idea would be to buy my wife a full bucket of fried chicken. I got it home via a taxi and presented it to this sleeping woman at 1.30am. Much to my surprise she wasn't as pleased as I expected. I left next to her side of the bed. To this day she can't now stand the smell of fried chicken.

They did you a favour, learn that KFC ain't what it used to be and is utter s
te and go elsewhere from now on!
(delete the app too, it's like wearing mucky pants, what would your mother think, if they found you in A&E covered in vomit and spunk, barely able to communicate. Using your sticky finger to unlock your phone, only to see the KFC app, how embarrassing!!)
Oh wow, that made me laugh. I have 2 broken ribs, but Christ I laughed.

d!I occasionally fancy a KFC, then I eat it and wish I hadn't. Doesn't stop me going back from time to time.
On the way home from the pub the other night i needed the toilet, so I went to KFC. I bought the 99p wings form the app, and because I bought more than one lot they had to do several transactions, at 99p each time scanning the app each time etc. But were happy to. Unsure why they'd not sell you something for under £5.

Love that! Perhaps that's the as yet undisclosed concept for KFC fine dining, paired with a flight of Frosty Jacks and Dragon Soop, and in the dining hall next door, a trough with plastic floor and a hose. 
Every time I try to use an offer in my local KFC the staff look at me as if I’m mad. They seem never to have heard of the loyalty scheme.
One tried to tell me I’d put a virus on her till because the app qr code crashed the computer when scanned.
It’s quite good for me because I complain to customer services and get a £5 voucher.
My local one lets you order ice cream online but they don’t even have a machine. That’s another good one for a complaint.

What has happened to the Zinger burger. It's shrunk by about 1/3rd.
Try ordering a chicken burger in Legoland. The chicken is about 30% of the size of the bun..... I wish I was kidding, but we had three of them and all were the same.. And as for the price, bargain........ The hamburgers were a decent size at least.cml24 said:

A relation loves them so I end up in one every once in a while if I'm out with them. Otherwise I tend not to go near them these days but have frequented plenty in the past. The quality can vary massively. Get the chicken when it's freshly made and the batter's crispy and it can be quite good sometimes. Get a greasy overcooked one that's been sitting for a bit and already dripping through the bag/bucket before you eat it then it's a very different story.On the way home from the pub the other night i needed the toilet, so I went to KFC.

There are plenty of better options than KFC but no mainstream chain options that I can think of. There's the odd local fryer does it better in a few towns I know, I think one of them's an ex KFC franchise.
I don't go often enough to use their app but I seem to have accumulated every coffee shop's app at some point or other. I find the loyalty stamps a bit of a con as in the app they can expire whereas the old cards you kept in the wallet and got stamped couldn't expire and could be given away to someone else like cheapskate/skint student relations.
I went to KFC earlier. Had heard and seen they were doing 4 piece boneless meal half price.
Asked for the offer when scanning my app, to be told they had 5 meals at half price!
Still had the boneless meal and a wrap of the day (love the supercharger sauce), very rarely have any issues and I use the app frequently.

I have been known on occasion to order a 10 piece family bucket and eat it all by myself. I find that after the 3rd packet of chips and 8th Chicken piece I can't face KFC for another 6 months.
For me, the result of such excess would be a pebble dashed toilet the following day (or two).NDA said:

"Double gravy bucket meal".
Makes me nauseous just typing that.
I am trying to think what wine would go with that? A crisp Chablis perhaps? Or something more robust? Quite a challenge for anyone I should think.Makes me nauseous just typing that.
KFC Mighty Bucket For One and a glass of Veuve Clicquot is a match made in heaven.
Not even joking.

Why did you eat the chips when there was room in the belly for chicken though, they're almost as lowly as salad when faced with a bucket of fried chicken. Don't tell me you ate the beans too!The leftovers are called breakfast. Much better than a cold chinese curry.
How I miss my student days.
