I would have the hardest time telling you what the current KFC ad campaign is.

However, I can still hum a lot of the song that starts: We’re gonna have fried chicken, Kentucky Fried Chicken … something something … finger lickin’ good.

And I can do all of the Famous Recipe Fried Chicken song — which must be from around 1970. The pictures they’d used in that ad looked like something I could have drawn (even then, when I was 10). [Hold on! I can do two of the Famous Recipe songs. I'll spare you.]

Now you mention it, the sign says KFC. They probably changed 10 years ago and I missed it

I know what you mean about branding for kids.

Do they call the chain “Kentucky Fried Chicken” still? Up here all the ones I see are simply KFC.

We know it’s Kentucky Fried Chicken (Americans can only be so stupid) — I suspect we’ve dropped the “Fried” part as fried food, you know, will kill you (though it’s not a bad way to go).

Years ago my youngest asked where we were going for dinner. I said, “Kentucky Fried Chicken” and he got upset and said he didn’t like “Kentucky Fried Chicken.”

I said, “Sam, we were at KFC just last week …”

“KFC?” he said, “I love KFC!” It was all in the name to him.
