I never understood the dislike for BK


It’s because of lack of consistent quality between franchises. Some Burger Kings are good and some are awful. I rather not risk going to one that I am unfamiliar with because of this. At least with McDonalds, Chik fil-A, and a few others, you get consistent quality whether mediocre or good.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call them BK in real life. It sounds pretty dumb.


This came out 32 years ago.

Embarrassing to me you start a thread about being triggered about absolutely fricking nothing.

I'm just gonna give you a well deserved downvote and move on with my life.

Why does Kentucky fried chicken call itself KFC?


20 years ago they tried to rebrand themselves as "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" and when that bombed, they went to KFC because their uppity marketing people were too proud to just go back to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

You suck at math.

Did you know there are more possible combinations of cards in a 52 card deck than there are grains of sand on the earth?

Because Kentucky Fried Chicken calls itself KFC, and McDonalds calls it's MickeyD's.

I thought it was because some of their meat is pigeon and they were worried about being sued with Chicken in their name.

The BK closes to me rarely has people there. And it seems like other BKs usually has less customers than all the other places. Is this an accurate assessment?

If so, whats the deal?

Nope. I always say King Burger. But I have dyslexia.

The shite some of you people get so upset about, that you then have to let the rest of us poor souls into the dark recesses of your minds, is staggering.

I think it's some weird epigenetic thing with people in Louisiana. Such a weird dynamic. Always feeling picked on and disrespected at the slightest thing and the most inane things perturb them. I just don't get it

They keep trying to make BK a thing. It’s not a thing. Don’t let the downvoting BK bots get you down.

For the same reason Kentucky Fried Chicken is now KFC. Easy to remember and pronounce for the younger generation.
