KFC -Kentucky Fried Cloning
11 Answers
Unfortunately, the only thing on the menu for lunch on Saturday was KFC. MY colleague explained to me afterwards that KFC are no longer Kentucky fried chicken because they don't use chicken. Chicken wings and chicken fillets there are made from chicken wings and fillets that have been cloned and so the meat the punter eats has never actually been alive. IS THAT TRUE?!!

WOW thats mad!! I cant see it being true though!! To clone chicken you would have to clone the chicken and then the chicken would have to have grown to adult size to gain the meat. So therefor it would have had to have been alive??? unless you can literaly clone the meat and not the full chicken??? LOL this is mad!!
You friend at work is correct, and also the word gullible is not in the dictionary either. Only an idiot would believe such rubbish.
In addition to what chongalolo said the name was changed firstly as part of a rebrand to promote a new menu which wasn't so heavily based on chicken (in the US) and also a general trend in business to use shorter more snappy names.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Hoax.
An active Internet hoax, of the urban legend type, falsely claims that KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is using genetically engineered organisms instead of chickens. The hoax includes reference to an unspecified study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire and there is no such research or study that was done here.
When you read the message carefully you can see it has all the hallmarks of a hoax. It starts with a well known subject (KFC) and a timely topic (genetic modification of animals and plants) and then spins out a story that progresses from possible, to improbable, and finally to impossible. As an extra touch of false verisimilitude, there is the vague reference to a study at the University of New Hampshire!
