Fried chicken chain KFC is hitting pause on one of fast food’s most popular slogans.

The restaurant said Monday it will suspend use of “It’s Finger Lickin’ Good” in its advertising after 64 years.

In a statement, KFC said during an unprecedented year during which the COVID-19 pandemic has upended businesses and lives around the globe, use of the slogan “doesn’t feel quite right.” More

  6. I’ve got a double whammy for them, 2 middle fingers. It’s been 10 years or more since the last time I ate at a KFC. Their chicken is too darned expensive for me to eat there anymore, once upon a time I did eat a lot of KFC but not now. We also used to call it KFR, Kentucky fried rat after the urban legend of some some poor soul getting a fried rat as part of their meal.

    ““Finger likin’ good”…”doesn’t feel quite right”….New political ads for Kamala?…..”

    …”Dixk Lickin’ Delightful” doesn’t really have broad appeal, even if it appeals to that particular broad…

    I still lick my fingers. Does that make me a bad person?”

    …If you’re White or conservative, you’re AUTOMATICALLY a bad person, doesn’t matter WHAT you lick, WHERE it is, on WHOM, WHY, WHEN, or HOW, so lick away, your Communist masters have condemned you already anyway…

  13. Only slightly off-topic, but still about stupid PC crap…

    At The Last Ditch, Ronn Neff suggests

    …that the Washington Football Team inscribe on the players’ helmets an unpronounceable symbol — like that guy Prince Nelson (aka for a while, “Prince”). Then the announcers and others could refer to the team as “The Team Formerly Known as the Redskins.”

  15. …I gave up on KFC when they served up lightly fried breading over pink, bleeding meat because they were too busy to actually cook it properly. I know some folks like a rare STEAK, but I personally find Chicken Tartare repulsive and go to the soul food restaurant for chicken, but always send a Black person in for it if you don’t want it to suck…

    …true story, there’s a Lee’s Famous on our way home from church, and we always got MUCH nastier and smaller chicken when served by a Black person than a White. We got in a discussion about “White Peoples Portions”, and decided to settle it by going there when there was a Black person on the counter, parking a distance away so they wouldn’t know we were together, then sending a Black person and a White person in separately to get the exact same meal.

    Guess who got the large, juicy, mouth-wateringly GOOD stuff vs. Who got the wallpaper paste nuggets that may or may not have had actual chicken inside?

    …had a little fun with it by sending the Black person back in with the White person’s chicken to complain, which must have made him think he screwed up, but let it go at that.

    Because corporations don’t make chicken.

    People do.

    And the people the corporations employ aren’t gonna be the most professional at that pay grade, and will ALWAYS bring their own personal predjudices to the game.

    Better if you cook your OWN.

    Or at least go to a nicer neighborhood.

    …sometime I’ll tell you about the “windowsill bugs” a work friend told me his brothers always held back for the bags of people who were assholes on the drive-thru intercoms, but that’s a different story for another day…

    One comment about dropping the “finger lickin good” tag line: I can’t imagine (because I’m not a leftist) why they would think I would lick anyone’s fingers except my own!

    Ok, yeah, I know. Just be quiet!
