    I wanted to pick it up today, but didn't get the chance. I doubt there are any still around now.

    A character refers to "KFC" in Chapter 1 but it was still Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1984. The KFC change happened in 1991.

    On Chapter 2 now....

    I knew that it was still Kentucky Fried Chicken in '84 but I did have to look up what year it changed over to KFC.

    Is it possible that even before the "official" change that folks referred to it as KFC. I was 11 in '84 and I honestly don't recall. Grew up in a really small town and the only fast food establishment we had was Sonic.

    I remember referring to it as “Kentucky Fried Chicken” when I was a kid. I can’t recall ever using “KFC”.

    While it is probably an anachronistic goof, Google says "KFC" was used between 1980 and 1990, though very little:

    https://books.google.com/ngrams/grap...%2CKFC%3B%2Cc0

    Though this doesn't account for context.

    But there is this 1984 NYT article that refers to it as KFC: http://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/17/bu...n-rivalry.html
    For now, chicken represents a growing market with lots of opportunities. ''After KFC, the market is open,'' said Michael Culp, an analyst for Prudential Bache Securities Inc. ''There's a huge gap between KFC and Church's, which has nearly 25 percent of KFC's domestic market share. And beyond Church's, there's no one with any appreciable market share.''

    I thought it was because of the unhealthy connotations associated with the word "fried".

    So sorry I turned this into the KFC thread but Wikipedia says this....

    "In 1991, the KFC name was officially adopted, although it was already widely known by that initialism. Kyle Craig, president of KFC US, admitted the change was an attempt to distance the chain from the unhealthy connotations of "fried" "

    When I was a kid, it was never KFC but always Kentucky Fried Chicken. It's interesting to hear some were already referring to it as KFC before the name change.
