#KFC
o KFC is testing new chicken nuggets at a few locations around Charlotte, North Carolina. If people like them, they'll be available nationwide soon.
o They'd replace the "Popcorn Chicken" they've been selling off-and-on since 1992. So, if you're a Popcorn Chicken fan, time to panic.
o KFC's head chef talked about the new nuggets and said they're a direct response to Millennials and Gen Zers . . . who refuse to eat chicken off the BONE.
o Apparently young people just will not eat bone-in chicken . . . maybe because it reminds them it came from a living, breathing animal.
o It sounds like the new nuggets are supposed to taste more like KFC's Original Recipe fried chicken, and less like they're chicken tenders.
o They're also moving toward more on-the-go options in general . . . the type of thing you can eat with one hand while still using your phone with the other.
