Not necessarily. They could be specifying that their chicken came from KFC, rather than El Pollo Loco or Popeye's or the grocery store. |

Right; KFC is foremost the business name, not the product name. |

Of course. It's nice to be specific about where you got your chicken from, and giving the business name is the way to do it. |

Nope... "Let's get KFC tonight", etc. |

It's not like when you say KFC potato salad you mean the salad has some chicken in it. KFC is a brand name, the chicken is the product. |

Me either. Plus now it doesn't stand for Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore. It's just KFC, it's not supposed to stand for anything even though everyone knows what it used to stand for. |

Everybody knows that the REAL reason is that they genetically engineered it to the point that they couldn't call it chicken anymore. |

LOL sorry. Actually it was one of my favorites for the sheer ridiculousness. And I knew people that actually refused to eat there for a while. |
