A surefire hit with the opposite sex.
Well, I suppose that's one way to get someone to lick you...
A campaign launched in Japan has meant anyone partial to diving into a tub of finger lickin' good chicken now has the chance to literally do just that, thanks to the arrival of the KFC Bath Bomb. The deep fryer of genetically engineered birds plump poulets has teamed up with Japanese novelty retailer Village Vanguard to give …

Ah, lazy stereotyping, and something of the Bernard Manning school of comedy about it...
But: I've just returned from my fourth trip to Japan, and encountered several instances of the distinctive mispronunciation that gave rise to the jokes of Chinese or Japanese describing something nice as 'rubbery'.
On researching this, the syllabary that the language is based on just doesn't have 'L' or 'V' sounds, instead the closest for them is 'R' or 'B'. A barman in a great craft beer bar talking about a midday meal said 'runch' before correcting himself, clearly frustrated at this (to him) difficult to tackle part of the English language. Ah well, I've only got to learn 46 Hiragana, 46 Katakana (plus diacritics), then heaven knows how many Kanji... easy!
Best instance I saw was signage on a building advertising an internet café called "Rounge"...
I know its a horrible stereotype and I'll burn in chip shop hell but I used to frequent a Chinese fish and chip shop know locally (and rather affectionately as she was a lovely lady) as "Effin' Elsies.", because the eponymous lady would hand you your chips and say "You want effin' else?"
I'm .... just ..... *shudders*
I get that stuff three or four times a year for the family - mostly as the kids will actually eat it and SWMBO likes it as a treat. Personally I find the aroma around the 'insta-box' stores that sell it horridly revolting, and the flavour only moderately passable as food. However I suppose in the long view I should attempt to find one and par boil myself......
(Now, if Swiss pigeon manages to come up with a bath bomb, I'll have to get bunch for SWMBO)
I'm actually with you, but for good reason. Many moons ago I had a roommate who worked there and whose hygiene and general cleaning skills both left quite a lot to be desired. The whole apartment stank of rotten chicken grease. I finally told him to either do his damn laundry or at least keep his bedroom door closed so I didn't have to smell it. Ever since KFC has never been a place I go to willingly.
During high school numerous of my friends worked in fast food joints. My friends pretty much covered them all KFC, Maccas, Burger King, etc. The only one of my friends who would eat at his own Restaurant was the guy that worked at KFC (he quite happily took home any leftovers at the end of the night). The others wouldnt touch their food.
Needless to say, if we went out for fast food, KFC was the only place we went. Now admittedly thats one small city's fast food joints and nearly 20 years ago, but I've always taken that as a good indicator of whats edible or not...
Lovely, that would be great with some baconnaise shower gel and a side of cole slaw.
Speaking of which, I always hoped that the BBC would do a Crimewatch type program focusing on the legal profession and hosted by the geezer who played Arthur Daley... solely for the glorious opportunity to call it Cole's Law.
