NOTHING like the Atari and Odyssey games I grew up with!!
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Did anyone watch the Season 2 premier yet?!
I'm planning on watching tonight.
Ugh. So much to watch and not enough time! I did see some girls dressed as Eleven at trunk or treat tonight.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
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....
Wow, impressive. Would never have thought of that.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
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:

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.''
We always called it KFC back in the day.

We called it KFC before it changed to that officially.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
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.
