I love how things like this develop a mystique. The KFC eleven herbs and spices, supposedly on a two-part list kept in separate vaults. The handwritten recipe for Coca-Cola, transported under heavy guard to a new vault in 2011. Donald Trump's hair elixir formula, kept secret by Epstein until his prison cell suicide during a coincidental random camera malfunction. The list goes on...

    Isn't the KFC recipe a cheapened and vastly inferior version of the original one?

    I dunno but I would assume so because it's America, where if there's a cheapened and vastly inferior version of something they'll use it and rebrand the original as Plantinum Plus.

    Nah he just opened a new restaurant with his wife's maiden name. This is mid 20th century America, so the idea was the cheapest mass producable product of tolerable quality as the only option from the corporation

    I call that an American-driven trend - don't just open a restaurant and make a living selling some popular thing, open 10,000 restaurants selling the cheapest acceptable imitation of the original thing. Instead of blueberry muffins, sell muffins with blue colored bits of grape skins and enough actual blueberry juice to satisfy government regs, cuz FREEDOM™!
