KFC = false advertising

[gemfyre]

The new ad for KFC burgers mentions the "rasher bacon" on the burgers and shows a rasher of bacon being placed on the burger.

I eat KFC about once a decade and I actually had their works burger about 3 days ago.

That bacon was perfectly round. Rasher bacon my ass.

I think you're mistaken. What they're advertising is rash-CAUSING bacon.

It's pressed ham. I remember when my friend used to work at KFC & bring home tons of chicken...I think that put me right off heh.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how pressed ham = rasher bacon.

*wonders who to complain to about false advertising*

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

They've been making them for years here. They're all chicken burgers.
