KFC, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, is a fast food restaurant chain based in Louisville, Kentucky. Founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, KFC is now a division of Yum! Brands. KFC is known mainly for its fried chicken.

The company adopted the abbreviated form of its name in 1991. Three reasons are commonly speculated: de-emphasis of chicken, as the chain was moving to offer other foods; the unhealthy connotations of "fried"; or a shorter name that would be considered more appealing to youth. Recently, the company has begun to re-embrace the Kentucky Fried Chicken name, and now uses both Kentucky Fried Chicken and KFC in advertisements. The Kentucky Fried Chicken name can be seen on some buckets of chicken. As of 2007, the company's website uses Kentucky Fried Chicken for the logo in the United States.

The popularity and novelty of KFC has led to the general formula of the fried chicken fast-food restaurant being copied by restaurant owners worldwide.

KFC is a fast-food store that we all can hear everywhere we go. people go to the store, irregardless of whether it is an urgent meal or not. they choose to step in to the store not because they were forced to, but they decided to.

looking at the comic above, we can all tell that there are people out there making fun of fast-food outlets such as KFC because of the trans fats that they inject into the chicken they take to sell to the consumers. the consumers are kept in the dark, but so what if they do find out?they will not bother to do anything about it because they find it delicious so they are willing to be cheated.

the reason why Macdonalds, KFC, Long John Silver's...etc, such fast-food outlets have managed to globalised is because of us, consumers. we do not really bother about the way they cook the food, but we only care whether the end product is delicious or not. this is another form of globalization.
