Yup. KFC has finally abandoned their stupid curry fried chicken idea and gone back to selling the good old Hot & Spicy. FINALLY.

I don’t get it. Why introduce a new recipe/dish and take down the old one that’s known to be popular? It just doesn’t make business sense. Sure, the curry fried chicken (or the previous tom-yam flavour experiment) might taste alright, but when I walk into an eating establishment that I’ve been going to since I was a small little girl (see profile picture on the right heehee), I’d like to have the same old stuff available. Such as my favourite Hot & Spicy fried chicken.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to introduce the curry (or tom-yam or whatever other flavour they think of next) fried chicken alongside the usual menu? Kinda like McDonalds. When they have a promotional set, it’ll be available alongside all the usual popular items on the menu. I can still get a good old Filet-O-Fish during Chinese New Year when McDs has their Prosperity Burger promotion. No one’s ever told me: “Sorry miss, tak de Filet. Got the all new xxx burger set. *big hopeful smile* U want?”

Isn’t that just simple common sense? You make money off customers who stick to the old popular favourites, while also raking in cash from those happy to try the new recipe. Voila! That translates to MORE money!!$!$!

Seems like really simple common sense to me. Don’t know what the KFC people were thinking.

But thank goodness Hot & Spicy is back! All this writing is making me hungry for some. smiley
