I just ate a KFC Famous Bowl

DickGrabrod · 2012-07-30 17:36:53

Ask me whatever questions you want, I guess.

ProfessorGator · 2012-07-30 17:38:46

According to the KFC website, there are three kinds. Which one did you have?

DickGrabrod · 2012-07-30 17:48:56

They gave me a bowl with chicken, gravy, cheese and corn, all resting on a bed of mashed potatoes.

Misery · 2012-07-30 21:42:49

sounds awesome

Why do you still not have an avatar.

Jumpingzombie · 2012-07-30 22:30:23

Did you eat it yourself?

Spacey · 2012-07-30 22:34:26

are you the duke of winsborough

DickGrabrod · 2012-07-30 23:15:07

@Lazlo: 'Cause I don't wanna!

@Zombie: I had a friend with me. He got the Double Down.

@future: I don't have any Scottish ancestors.

RainbowMatt · 2012-07-30 23:16:25

My arteries hardened a bit just seeing this thread...

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 03:07:29

They still sell the Double Down?

I'm kinda surprised if only if it seemed like a marketing gimmick.

I remember when it came out and the media hailed it as the end to western civilization, despite it only having slightly more calories than a Burger King Whooper.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 04:54:54

I had a Double Down once. Not my favorite "sandwich" by any means, but it was alright.

DickGrabrod · 2012-07-31 04:57:56

^^ My friend couldn't even finish his.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 04:59:26

There's too much stuff going on at once, flavor and texture-wise, yeah.

Tre · 2012-07-31 05:02:09

I want the new chicken tenders they came out with, they're easily the size of normal pieces.

I know I said before that I wasn't going to stop going to Chick-Fil-A but maybe I may have to get used to KFC...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 05:07:22

I actually don't like KFC too much, though their chicken is better than Chick-fil-A's imo (I only really like the waffle fries and milkshakes at Chick-fil-A).

One-Winged Eagle · 2012-07-31 05:41:30

That bowl looks delicious.

Füschlatz · 2012-07-31 08:40:28

That feel when you see Americans talking about fast food offerings that you don't recognise in the slightest because they aren't available in your country...

"If you want hot meat stuck between two buns and covered in sauce, the way GAWD meant it to be enjoyed, it's Chick-fil-A or the flames of hey-ull!"

Best skit Conan's had possibly all summer.

Princess Alice · 2012-07-31 09:43:05

What I don't understand about the whole Chick-Fil-A thing are the people who act like queer people wanting to boycott the chain constitutes some sort of crime against free speech because "a company is allowed to have an opinion."

A company most certainly is allowed to have an opinion, but I am under no obligation to give my money to companies whose opinions I disagree with.

lee4hmz · 2012-07-31 11:00:25

Yeah, someone here was trying to play the free-speech card, and I was like "Bullshit, people have been using religion to justify bigotry for centuries and this is no exception. You should be ashamed. :P"

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 12:54:20

There are no Chick-fil-As in Portland to my knowledge, so I have no moral quandaries about delicious fried chicken and supporting people's who's opinions I don't agree with.

It's just as well, this is one of the most liberal cities in the entire country. All the Chick-fil-As would probably be destroyed when they where protested out of existence after being blasted by the colored symbols on protesters chests...

Wait...there's a chance I'm getting this confused with something else...do Carebears do that thing I just said or do they gather in parks for weeks at a time drinking and doing drugs until people get tired of all the rodents the discarded food of the bears has attracted and and clear them out?

I thought KFC was accused of being racist

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 17:39:43

Supposedly this is racist.

I guess there's some implications there, but it doesn't really set off my racist-dar, especially for Australia.

Boney · 2012-07-31 17:49:24

That's pretty racist.

I'm guessing they dropped it, though.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 17:55:48

>fries

that is not KFC.

there is no way that KFC would ever serve fries.

I'm being lied to.

Obā-san · 2012-07-31 18:00:34

Sometimes you gotta wonder what people were thinking.

Obā-san · 2012-07-31 18:01:45

I seriously dont understand the jokes about black peaple and fried
chickin i mean who doesnt like fried chicken its so good also water
melon and kool aid are good if you dont like 2/3 of those your just a
bad person

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 18:03:57

Australia is not NEARLY as conscientious of race issues as the US is.

Also...maybe black folk actually bring steal drums to sporting events there, I wouldn't know, I don't go to Australian sporting events.

I'd imagine most Aussies wouldn't bat an eye at it, but it does look a bit bad over here.

Then again, maybe someone over there wasn't too pleased with it either.

I'll be quite honest, if that guy's saying he doesn't understand where that stereotype comes from, than neither do I.

Then again, maybe someone over their wasn't too pleased with it either.

over their

over their

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 18:14:43

Alright Grammar HITLER. I fixed my post.

I'm not sure where the stereo-types came from either, they've been around. Especially watermelon, that one's been around for AGES.

Only $125 to be the most racist person on my block?! What a deal!

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 18:19:19

That is a big fucking melon.

Also it's just a weird notion. HEY ARE YOU AWARE THAT PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT ENJOY DELICIOUS FRIED FOOD AND FRUIT?

Like, what?

Mr. Darcy · 2012-07-31 18:22:18

Watermelon is really healthy, too.

Obā-san · 2012-07-31 18:23:37

In the United States, fried chicken has stereotypically been associated with African Americans.
The reasons for this are various. Chicken dishes were popular among
slaves before the Civil War, as chickens were generally the only animals
slaves could raise on their own.

Thank you Wikipedia that is so helpful.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 18:24:30

See? It makes TOTAL SENSE.

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 18:28:28

I think it's because everyone ate a lot of fried food and watermelon in the south which featured a much higher black population than the northern states.

So we get weird stuff like that statue up there.

I have no idea where grape soda came from, though.

Justice4243 · 2012-07-31 18:29:19

Ninja'd. I was sorta right, I suppose.

Obā-san · 2012-07-31 18:30:19

I guess that, like most things related to racism, it really makes no sense when you invest any mental effort into figuring it out.

Mr. Darcy · 2012-07-31 18:31:56

@FM: I was aware of that, but watermelon?

Bizarrely, Thomas Carlyle hated black people for eating pumpkins (in the nasty essay where the term "the dismal science" was coined).

Obā-san · 2012-07-31 18:36:17

Thomas Carlyle hated black people for eating pumpkins (in the nasty essay where the term "the dismal science" was coined).

Huh, I didn't know he coined that term.

You learn something new erryday.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-07-31 18:40:08

I don't know who that is, but he kind of sounds like an asshole.

Also, how can you hate on pumpkin-eating? Clearly this man has never had pie of any kind.

Imipolex G · 2012-07-31 18:49:20

You know that Kant once said, "that man is black from head to toe, which proves that what he just said was stupid."

Everybody was racist then

Mr. Darcy · 2012-07-31 19:05:13

Lazuli: He was the most famous Victorian British historian and social critic. He developed the "great man" model of history. His antipathy to both aristocracy and equality (he thought the proper role of democracy was to raise the "noblest" from their circumstances of their birth to a sort of Enlightened despotism) and opposition to classical economics prefigured fascism, while his Sartor Resartus prefigures both existialism and postmodernism. The aforesaid racist essay also made John Stuart Mill his enemy.

Obā-san · 2012-07-31 19:20:25

Yeah, he's kinda a mixed bag.

he thought the proper role of democracy was to raise the "noblest" from
their circumstances of their birth to a sort of Enlightened despotism

I still don't get how that's supposed to work.

DickGrabrod · 2012-07-31 20:06:38

I should get a Cinnabon next.

See what kind of derail that sparks.
