Food & Drink > No Truth in Fast Food Advertising

The KFC Famous Bowl. As seen in KFC advertising:

The KFC Famous Bowl. In reality:

That's from Fast Food Ads vs. Reality. The same author does fast food reviews, and offers this review of the KFC Famous Bowl:

My stomach sank. It appeared to have already been eaten at least once. It looked like a pipin’ hot bowl of vomit.

But, of course, I ate it anyway. And it was good, really good. The chicken was tender and tasty, not the kind with the hard breading that tears holes in your gums, or anything like that. The gravy was delicious, the corn buttery, and there was so much sodium and fat my heart is still cutting in and out – and it’s the arrhythmia of love.

If they could maybe dress it up a little, and get away from the insinuation of fresh barf, I think the public would embrace the Famous Bowl.

Hat tip to BoingBoing.

The term "fresh barf" made me giggle for some odd reason.
