    I just read through the history photo porn thread and the posts about I-5 going through downtown reminded me of the story of Colonel Sanders and the start of the KFC empire.

    He originally owned a gas station along the Dixie Highway and the start of I-75 2 miles from town meant he would lose out on the traffic so he took his secret spices and started selling the franchise rights to what eventually became one of the largest, if not the largest franchise chains ever.

    Sounds like deeply racist origins.

    How KFC Became a Christmas Tradition in Japan

    What began in 1974 as an impulse promotion by a KFC store manager in Nagoya, has turned into a national tradition in Japan.

    3.6 million families dine at KFC every December 25th.

    Burger King closing shift, The rust colored corduroy pants were auce. Swamp ass nut huggers. Especially after hosing down the fry racks and disassembling the salad bar. Free meal every shift! I guess graduating from BKU was my first degree.

    7-11 graveyard shift. All the pop you could drink. Unlimited nachos too.

    Spent one summer measuring every street and road in Eugene OR. Also rated the road surface using a system developed at UW. CSB.

    What does this have to do with the history of KFC?

    Sounds like some poasters need to learn the difference between the history of KFC thread and the hardest/worst job you’ve ever had thread.
