KFC

This. I used to enjoy an occasional bucket, but the last time it was just gross, with yucky sides. I couldn't even eat it. And no more cornbread. Never again, KFC.

The last KFC I had was cold. The one before that, cold.

Colonel Sanders when he was alive and mascot of KFC was threatened with a lawsuit for saying the food was bad. He said the mashed potatoes were like wall paper paste but tasted worse

They have about 15% success rate of getting my order right in the last 10 years.

Wouldn't go anywhere near that place but my folks still somehow love it, even if they complain about their food being wrong almost every single time.

My issue with KFC, has never been getting the order right. It was the fact that it was cold.

I find that when it's good (i.e. fresh and cooked properly) it's genuinely hard to beat. The problem is that catching it when it's good is very difficult to do.
