6. Because people don't recognize Kentucky Fried Blues

face it most people wouldn't know how to find either state on the map, let alone the country.

7. It's all red state to me

:shrug:

[Ramsey]

8. It's KFC now

Apparently that no longer stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken. :shrug:

Although, the concern was over the word "fried", not the Kentucky part.

9. They tried going with "Kitchen Fresh Chicken."

Which was utterly abominable. They may have already abandoned it.

11. I thought it was over the 'chicken' part. nt

10. fried chicken is a hallmark southern dish
