I'm sure the dollar menu chicken nuggets had the most to do with it

ok...McDonalds chicken nuggets are the nastiest things I've ever eaten....EVER!!!!!!
Snack wrap isn't bad. McD's chicken is so much cheaper than KFC, not that surprised they sell more.

I'm beginning to believe your complete lack of knowledge of the world doesn't apply to only politics and history.

One look at the majority of customers at any McD's across the land should prompt Ronald and co to change their name to something more fitting, such as "McFatties". Can't even remember the last time I was so desperate for food that I went out of my way to a Mc-D's. How Ronald stays so slim is beyond me. Stay away for healths sake!

KFC as other fast food franchises have different standards at different establishments. You never know at KFC what you will receive for hard earned money, tough chicken or tender chicken. Lately its been tough and hard to chew, my dog chewed it ok, but I have had enough, quality control in most franchises is lacking.
Reminds me, I notified McDonalds that a franchise in Nevada was abysmal since the food was atrocious and you could not even see through the window since dirt obstructed the view. Their answer, all stores were independently owned and they could do nothing about the service. Give me a break they probably have someone spitting on the food also but it matters not since they are "Independents".
We all would be surprised to know what goes into our food at these independent establishments.

I guess everyone is tired of the colonel having all his ****** in one bucket and that is all that is in it. The prices are higher than any fast food dump in the world. $32.00 for a bucket of tuff wings and drum sticks and a few pieces of white meat. I have noticed back here three of them last month closed the doors and went broke. I think the Colonel forgot the rule of the barn. The pigs get fat and the hogs get slaughtered.

Any food is good in moderation. McD's once a month is good. I like the Big Mac and the chicken sandwiches, but their chicken sandwich cannot compare to Wendy's, mmmmmmmmmm. McD's naturally has more sales in chicken, because there's more McD chain restaurants per town than any other chain. In overall taste, KFC is using no more trans fat, which is great. I hope all of the franchises follow their lead

And this is news? Great. Of course, this is coming from the Arizona Republic, so I suspect they meant well.
