KFC is THE WORST fast food? out there for causing me gastrointestinal distress, bar none.

It stopped being edibly digestible for me shortly after Pepsi Co. took it over and turned everything there into a fuster cluck of chemical mixes like the gravies, mashed potatoes and biscuits. Just look at that laundry list of preservatives, additives and fillers just in the colonels secret sauce. Now they even add BEEF flavoring to their GRILLED CHICKEN seasoning mix. Which is TRULY DISGUSTING!

The last time I ate there about 4 years ago, about an hour after eating there, I literally had to suddenly pull over and projectile vomit about 5 times in a parking lot, and then almost passed out from the pounding headache. And you don't even want to know what else happened "down south" a few hours after that. That sure was fast food all right. And I hadn't eaten there since.

That being said, Pepsi Co. spun off the food giants KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Long John Silvers into Yum! Brands in 1997 (oh, the bitter tasteless irony!). But not everything they touch is cursed with unholy corporate chemical crappiness. The problem here seems to be that their "food" companies are run under completely separate corporate management teams using different quality control and food suppliers.

Remember all the stomach and intestinal problems people reported when Olestra was dumped on an unsuspecting public as a food? Now let's just imagine, only for arguments sake of course, that some cheap assed fast food company looking to cut food costs by adding nasty chemical crap to food might be frying up darn near everything in a greasy oily mix of that, and then also adding it to mixes, batters, sauces and condiments, too. Sound tasty and delicious yet? And then they can just conveniently hide all the gut wrenching ingredients when people complain by saying it's a confidential trade secret whenever anyone craps their pants and projectile vomits on the cashiers from eating it and demands their money back.

And "food" made like that is definitely lower calories than other fast food, too. Since your body can't properly digest the congealed and preserved chemical slop and you puke it back up or it sprays out uncontrollably a few hours later.

A disgusting company like that only survives as a consumers intestinal parasite because there are always clueless parents willing to fork out money for a fast and cheap feed bucket of pig slop just to stuff their family of screaming fat brats they don't like that much anyway.

I can definitely tell you're the life of the party.

And if by life of the party you mean I can projectile vomit greasy chicken chunks, potatoes, gravy, corn and mac and cheese the farthest after eating there, then yea, I guess I am.

This thoughtlessly thrown together artery clogging concoction reminds me of the bucket of slop they serve with potatoes, gravy, corn, chicken and cheese all mixed up so you can't even tell WTH you are eating.

"3 years ago, i was craving a chicken sandwich and used to LOVE kfc's chicken, so i decided to stop there and order one through the drive-thru. however, as i got home, i came to find it was far from the pleasant experience i was used to. not only did i find strange hard & crunchy bits in the chicken, a few hours later i wound up puking all of it and was horrified to find everything was black. since then, i shudder every time i see a commercial on tv and even more as i pass one by. actually, it's extremely hard to get me to even eat chicken now. kfc definitely gave me a horrible memory."

My buddy said it's pretty good, but that it's not all that filling. It sounds like a monstrosity but really isn't gigantic. The 590 calories in this thing aren't going to kill you. Might want to avoid that kind of sodium for 3 meals a day, but otherwise, a normal sized male should have no problem.

This thread definitely delivers. At least we now know who has a stomach so weak they can't handle one meal at KFC.

THOUGHTLESSLY?!?
I guarantee you it went through multiple rounds of market research, was then modified based on feedback, and all that was even before it was test marketed last year before the national roll-out.
Thoughtlessly indeed. You, sir, are the thoughtless one! Think of all the man-hours that went into bringing this exquisite delicacy to us. You're writing all of it off as though it were nothing! Why, if it weren't for this sandwich, Mr. Executive wouldn't be able to put poor little Jimmy through college. Why do you hate freedom? Why do you hate America? I'll bet you're a TERRORIST, aren't you! I HATE terrorists! JERK!

That bucket of slop is also a very tasty meal, just like the double-down. I've been a member of this forum for a long, long time, and I'm still shocked at how sheltered and vain some of you are. I'm guessing some of you are the type that will refuse to eat anything if two different foods touch each other on your plate.

that's what happens when you make it yourself.

It's not "fried chicken breasts" ... its not swiss cheese... and its definitely not guthries sauce.

it says swiss cheese right in your OP. and that sure does look like fried chicken. doubt it's thigh meat. (anyone who gets a grilled one of these is probably off his meds)

I had an original one yesterday and it was pretty sub par. Way too salty and I could barely taste the bacon over all of that chicken. Afterwards I felt pretty crappy, I wont be having one again.

lulz. I've eaten at KFC all of my life and have never gotten sick from eating there. So many nancies.

I didn't end up firing one of these yesterday, but I may get one today.

Someone did try to eat two of these things in one sitting. I could say the same thing about people with Taco Bell as it has no effect on me.
