Well, thank God. 20th century technology finally paid off.
Finally, now, for the first time in the history of human evolution, KFC has solved that age-old dilemma that has held humanity back from its next step toward cosmic unification of matter, energy, and thought - we can now, finally and thank God, get three different styles of chicken in the same bucket.

Yes, people. I do not exaggerate, I do not make false claims, I do not wallow in hyperbole.

You can, indeed, and perfectly legally, get a KFC bucket of chicken - WITH THREE DIFFERENT STYLES OF CHICKEN IN IT.

If the defense and science spending of the Cold War ever bore fruit, this is it.

THREE DIFFERENT STYLES OF CHICKEN IN ONE BUCKET.

Like the old Buick commercials used to opine, before this remarkable technological breakthrough, "This ain't your grandfather's bucket of chicken, fuckers. This is 21st century buckets of chicken."

And those three different styles of chicken are not just haphazardly mishmashed in the bucket, like you might have expected had the luddites of the 19th century been able to mathematically conceive of such an option. No indeed - this bucket, this new space-age ultimate technological breakthrough bucket - HAS DIVIDERS THAT KEEP THE DIFFERENT STYLES SEPARATE.

1. That isn't even possible, and you know it.

Where's the link to prove it? If this were true, there would certainly be stories all over the internet. Liar.:-)

4. I can scarcely believe it myself.
If I hadn't seen a commercial on TV - and please note, I've ONLY seen this on a commercial, not in person - I would never believe it.

I immediately needed to sit down and wait for my heart to calm down. In fact, I saw it a bit more than an hour ago, and wasn't able to move until I posted this thread.

7. Turn the bucket the appropriate way?
You mean my buckets of something-resembling-but-not-quite-actually fried chicken now have acceptable use policies?

5. These are truly wonderful times we live in!

Technology marches on.

Now, if they can seperate the deep-fried rectums from the beaks, that will be a modern miracle!

6. Yes link please
I'm calling bullsit on this one. I mean, c'mon, think about it. A 10-piece is the idustry-if not God-ordained--standard. What, it's like 3,3,4? See? Bullshit. The M-I complex would stand for no such disorder. Nor would I.

11. Probably no room for the 10th piece.
That space is now taken up by the divider, so 3, 3, 3. See how KFC can save money?

13. If Col. Sanders were alive today...
he'd probably tell you what you can do with your "10th piece".

8. Surely this is a Sign of the End Times!
Repent! Repent now while you still can!

Oh, and maybe save me an original recipe drumstick? Thanks!

9. Like the old Buick commercials used to opine....
Those were Oldsmobile commercials. "This is not your father's Oldsmobile," the jingle went.
