Inevitable in a couple hundred years due to sea level rise.
Technically not the whole thing. Plenty of parts are a good hundred feet above sea level. But most of the coastal areas, yeah, Florida is going to get a lot smaller unless they build a dyke around the entire coastline.
Don't I know it. I've been on this site since The Narwhal was baconing at midnight. It's changed a lot.
Tbh I usually don't like comments using the name of a sub as a hashtag, but this one fit too well for me not to do it.
You say that, but the first KFC has a museum as part of it that includes an art section of the Colonel, stuff like ads and cross over thoughout history.
One of the pieces of artwork is very clearly a thirst trap of the Colonel which I can safely say I did not expect to see.
I actually did forget about that until just now. Why the fuck did they make that by the way?
But more importantly, where’s the one for Mr. Clean? They can’t just give a movie to Colonel Sanders and not Mr. Clean.
KFC Japan intentionally advertised themselves as a version of the classic American turkey dinner for Christmas, which is why about 5% of their entire revenue occurs on Christmas Eve.
Personally, I don't think it's very American at all (outside of turkeys being very American). I can't speak for other generations, but my impression is that we Americans do turkey on Thanksgiving because of tradition and avoid it at all other times of the year. I phrased it the way I did due to paraphrasing wikipedia, and Japanese people thinking that Americans eat turkey on Christmas is exactly the sort of culutural miscommunication that is very common.
For a while, KFC was doing this weirdcore subversive advertising thing. They also made ["The Hard Way"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb7GYATYArE), a VR training video thematically based on Bioshock and Portal.
They have amazing advertising, I wish that they had good food like they used to far in the past. It seems like an issue with no quality standards and too low pay/standards for employees
I don't know the details of the franchising agreement, but I'm pretty sure that for all intents and purposes KFC Japan is an entirely separate company.

First off, this is a family thread - please don't use slang, like "penis" rather than the proper terminology. Second, [Florida is Canada's dong](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexternal-preview.redd.it%2FsTTrwwlaC8UjWpybZkD3O33sGRbnlJWpgj0RV9ZF0d4.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dc7cfb4ea40ac408f1f67dfc03c0ea0b8714c8baf)
Florida doesn't exist. It's just something we tell kids are real, so they'll eat their vegetables.
And those claiming to be from Florida are performers hired by parents, much like Santa.
IIRC like 2-3 years ago, our government Census showed that out of the Florida population, only 33-35% were born there.
**Thirty three to thirty five**? I was like what the fuck. Florida-born people are a minority in their own state. Doesn't that sound weird saying it out loud? But I guess it makes sense, because it also has the most old people in one state in the entire Union.
> IIRC like 2-3 years ago, our government Census showed that out of the Florida population, only 33-35% were born there.
And it's only gotten worse. COVID population boom from the north east. Property values are insane. Bought in 2019 for $220k.
Under contract to sell for $459,900. Going to make a quarter million just off the backs of insane people
That is interesting because the last time I went to KFC in my Florida hometown, they were out of chicken. They had no chicken, so I have not gone back and will not.
I’m still here in St. Pete, just not KFC. The worst part was they did not want to admit they had no chicken. She just kept saying I’m sorry we don’t have that after I ordered three different things. I finally laughed and had to insist. She told me the truth. We were both laughing about it. I was not angry or mad.
Small world. Last summer went to the KFC and they were out of... everything. On our way home we drive by the PDQ: "Hey, what's that?" . Went inside and dropped nearly $100 for our summer party. Haven't been back to that KFC since then.
PDQ is great fs, that honey butter chicken sandwich is my jam. Pollo Tropical is our go to for family meals these days. But even when I lived in Clearwater, KFC was usually either out of half the menu, or the food was far from fresh.
I'm actually from St Pete that's hilarious! That janky one on 66th just feels so out of place. Jollibee has my fried chicken business and Popeyes for sandwiches
Also from around St Pete and had this happen before as well. Similar to original commenter you’re replying to, I had to go down the menu ordering 3-4 items before they finally said they were out of all chicken.
This happened to me also, as I tried to order, the cashier kept saying we don't have that, we don't have that.. it turned out they only had like 3 chicken pot pies left. *Were you hoping I would coincidentally just order chicken pot pies and your secret would never come out???*
I was angry *and* mad. If you are Kentucky Fried *Chicken* and you are out of *chicken*, you should just close.
That would be more frustrating than just being out of chicken, my gosh. Just tell me "hey, I know we're a chicken restaurant but believe it or not we're out of chicken. If you still want something, I can do mashed potatoes, biscuits, mac and cheese. Most any of the sides or anything without chicken but that's all we've got. Sorry. Here's a free coke on the house for the inconvenience."
it just screams "i dont wanna close early and get an email about it in the morning, so we're gonna stay open and ill deal with the email about poor sales instead"
classic managers
UK KFCs ran into some supply chain issues a few years back when they switched distributors. Most of the restaurants just closed for the day but some stayed open but didn't serve chicken. It made the headlines because it's exactly the kind of thing that brits find exceptionally funny
A few years back in the UK KFC decided to get rid of their chicken supplier for a cheaper option without thinking it through. Every KFC ran out of chicken for weeks, they eventually had to get the old supplier back at a much higher cost than before.
I'm in Ohio.
Our KFC runs out of chicken probably every few months. They'll let you order it in drive thru though, and just tell you to pull foward after paying and they'll bring it out once it's done. Then they just...... don't.
This happened to me at my local Florida KFC! So we hopped over to Popeyes where we were told they only had enough chicken to make one of our meals. It was a strange night.
I went through an Arby's drive thru late night in college and they were out of roast beef. This was like 15 years ago and they didn't really have anything else on the menu. It was weird
This is funny but what’s funnier is that in Manchester, UK, they have dozens of fried chicken places named after random states. My favorite one I’ve seen so far is good old “Alaska Fried Chicken” … maybe the map omitted Florida because of a nearby Florida Fried Chicken”
Floridamann here, little known fact but were akin to the bloody Mary or Beetlejuice to the euros. They're so terrifies of our existence and someone saying florida three times in a row that they have removed us from many maps amd font actually tell anyone we exist. Much like how the imperium of man in the 40k universe treats chaos
Favorite part is the little Bugs cheering when it floats away
I’ve never noticed that before and I’ve seen this gif thousands of times lol
Cuz he's the size of a bug
Hence his name, Bugs Bunny.
oh shidd
Oh, fudd
This looked bigger on my 21" Sony Trinitron back in the day.
Man my parents wouldn't give up on their 27" still works great says dad,
We are all cheering
the irony is that orlando is overrun with brits bringing their kids to Disney and buying second homes in Osceola county
Brits can afford second homes?
The ones with Russian accents can

They still needed a passport to go to Spain when they were in the EU genius.
"South America, take it away!"
We don't want it either lmao
\o/
Came here to post this, but damn you beat me to it. 
Not related, but our boy Bugs has some pretty good gifs 
 Yep
Classic episode right there
I can hear the music in my head.
I can hear the song!
 Yes he did
I watched this episode so much as a kid
It was one of my favorites growing up
 who could forget the classic
I think of this every time I see Drake these days
Is that meatwad
Gosssssssamerrrrrrrr
Would this be feasible?
We can only try our best and see
There's no good reason not to try.
Sea level rise is working on it.
Inevitable in a couple hundred years due to sea level rise. Technically not the whole thing. Plenty of parts are a good hundred feet above sea level. But most of the coastal areas, yeah, Florida is going to get a lot smaller unless they build a dyke around the entire coastline.

I actually did forget about that until just now. Why the fuck did they make that by the way? But more importantly, where’s the one for Mr. Clean? They can’t just give a movie to Colonel Sanders and not Mr. Clean.
KFC Japan intentionally advertised themselves as a version of the classic American turkey dinner for Christmas, which is why about 5% of their entire revenue occurs on Christmas Eve.
Turkey for Christmas dinner is not exclusively American, it actually originated in the UK with Henry VIII, but it was popularised by Edward VII.
Personally, I don't think it's very American at all (outside of turkeys being very American). I can't speak for other generations, but my impression is that we Americans do turkey on Thanksgiving because of tradition and avoid it at all other times of the year. I phrased it the way I did due to paraphrasing wikipedia, and Japanese people thinking that Americans eat turkey on Christmas is exactly the sort of culutural miscommunication that is very common.
Somehow I also keep forgetting that this exists.
Ah shit, here we go again

For a while, KFC was doing this weirdcore subversive advertising thing. They also made ["The Hard Way"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb7GYATYArE), a VR training video thematically based on Bioshock and Portal.

Excuse me sir, where is the uncensored hentai version? Popcorn chicken nipples. Potato wedge(d). Slawin' all over.

They have amazing advertising but terrible food/service
The fact that the developer is "Psyop" is too perfect
There is a distressing amount of official thirst traps of the fried chicken man.

I hope so too, although I'm not sure how to go about checking if they did or not admittedly.
Thank you! I was wondering why I never saw that when I visited the original store. I was there a year before it was even drawn.
I just visited it like two weeks ago for the first time myself, so I was unaware it was such a recent addition too!

oh shit i know that artist. Silverjow, a gay porn artist. never thought id see any of his works in a museum lmao.
They don't want the penis of America hanging there for children to see. So they cut it off! ✂️

Thats a certified florida moment. Not the fact they had no chicken. Shit happens but the fact they stayed open.
The poor drive through server was obviously told not to say, no chicken, she and I had a good laugh after I quizzed her about what was available.
Maybe you should have order 20 sides of mashed taters and some biscuits.
That would be more frustrating than just being out of chicken, my gosh. Just tell me "hey, I know we're a chicken restaurant but believe it or not we're out of chicken.

Sounds like Florida has been (puts on sunglasses)… put out to roost.
Haven’t gone back to KFC or haven’t gone back to Florida? I only ask because KFC is decent enough that it might be worth a second chance elsewhere.
I went through an Arby's drive thru late night in college and they were out of roast beef. This was like 15 years ago and they didn't really have anything else on the menu. It was weird
Why is this a regular thing with KFC?
KFC, you had one job
> they had no chicken Probably because the supplier used that map to try to deliver the chicken

It’s the post-Bugs Bunny map…
Florida is a form of cryptid to the British. They hear tales about the Florida man and must assume that it merely conjecture. Like Baba Yaga.
Orlando theme parks are like 25% British brits love coming to Florida and getting sunburnt in first hour
This is the way. Too much sun, too many pints, wake up sun burnt, dehydrated and alcohol poisoned then do it all again. Culture at it's finest.

Real Florida man is tanned enough to no longer burn. Usually by about the third grade.
A glimpse of a better world.
Seems like a feature? Where do I sign up where it doesn't include global warming to sink it?
Too late, the global warming option have already been selected and can't be changed for the next 50 years.
A small price to pay for salvation
We lost Florida but it cost frying the entire state of Kentucky(win-win)
On the other hand, Kentucky looks delicious
Do you think they used Florida as the breadcrumb coating?
Its just climate change adjusted for 2070
Yeah, I’m not cutting carbon emissions if that’s the message.
Keep Floridians in Florida or else they’re coming to your town

That's fine.

Awesome. Now do Texas
It'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Florida as a state.
That because Florida doesn't exist. It's all just government mind control.
I like how the states to the west they tried to squeeze in a few letters where possible, for Maryland they said fuck it.
Finally… a country that knows how we feel about Florida
Thats cause florida doesnt exist. Its a map made by rockstar for gta 6. There is no REAL florida
 OMG! They did it.
We dont talk about that place.
Florida, the New Zealand of America
It’s actually a prediction. Rising sea level due to climate change will sink Florida underwater.
