    KFC was delicious in the 1960's and 70's. Somewhere along the line, the flavor, texture, and overall quality of KFC went straight to hell. Last time I tried to eat it, several years ago, the chicken was so steroided or hormoned up, it didn't look like it came from a life form native to Earth. What a shame as it was great at one time.

    • @ArmandoDy
      @ArmandoDy Před 5 lety +7

      The story behind it is: after Col. Sanders sold KFC, he wasn't happy with what they did to his original recipe chicken. He had Marion-Kay Spices mix up his original recipe, and then he started recommending to franchise owners that they use the Marion-Kay Spice mix instead of the KFC corporate spice mix. Quite a few of the franchise owners did; about 200 of them during the '60s and '70s, until KFC corporate sued Marion-Kay Spices in the early '80s, just after Col. Sanders died, thus blocking them from selling their spice mix to KFC franchises. ***Taken from a Chowhound article.

    Colonel Sanders was the man, and it's a damn shame I'll never get to have the TRUE original recipe. If they can make a movie about that snake Ray Kroc, they can surely do a badass Colonel Sanders movie. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

    I wouldn’t call his life tragic. He came up from modest means, worked hard and became very successful. Losing his dad when he was young and his son later on are both very sad and yes, tragic events but having tragic events in one’s life does not make their life as a whole tragic. He became rich and lived to be 90. He always spoke truth regarding the direction of KFC and expressed his displeasure of certain directions they went but the guy had a good very good life.
    If his life is tragic then mine and most people’s lives are a complete cluster-f@$# by comparison.

    Salute and loads of reverence to the Late Colonel Sanders who has been and will be one of the greatest sources of motivation 'n' inspiration for the ones with an array of ordeals in their life, the man who is looked to during the dark times when failure rules all over n no sign of success. His face image on every packaging of the company reminds me of "keep trying" and "staying self-motivated", not being least bothered about chronological age. I love KFC just because of its founder, Mr. Colonel Sanders. May your soul rest in eternal peace!

    This left out a lot of information about the Col. The main one is that he invented the machine that made his chicken cook the way it did and sold that to other restaurants across America with the help of a very energetic young salesman named Dave Thomas who went on to found the Wendy's Hamburger chain. Also, his wife Claudia had a dinner house here in Bowling Green, KY that was very successful and there is a landmark showing where it used to be. Sanders has a very interesting Success story that people should learn about. This video makes it seem he was a failure and he was anything but that.

      Colonel Sanders retired in a small town called Cooksville in Toronto Township, Ontario, Canada. In the early 1970s the township and all the small towns in it amalgamated to form a new city called Mississauga. One of those small towns was Malton, home of the Avro Arrow legendary aircraft and the Malton Airport. That airport is now known as the huge Toronto International Airport, even though it is actually located in the large City of Mississauga which is on the western border of Toronto. Nowadays, Toronto in Canada, is the fourth largest city in North America, after Mexico City, New York, and Los Angeles.
