I hadn't even noticed the change in labeling on the packet, the taste was just immediately objectionable.

A waste of a perfectly good biscuit, that was.

In adulthood, I have never once gone back to a KFC, and I think the only time I've ever eaten Popeye's (outside of PR), was at the Atlanta airport, mostly because it was the least-objectionable-looking thing late at night during a long layover. This was before the big remodel about 10 years ago, when some halfway-decent restaurants opened up in concourse E.

I really don't understand how anyone who has actually tasted real honey can find that stuff pleasant-tasting. It's like comparing maple syrup to Aunt Jemima.
KFC is pretty bad. I try not to **** with them.

I absolutely do not think Popeye's honey sauce is anything near real good honey. I think it is more the combination of it, the crack mixed in somewhere, and their chicken. It all together is amazing to me. The best out of all the fast food chicken that I have found. Saying that, service and speed at Popeye's is generally horrific.

Bojangles is ****. I am much more likely to get top shelf exotic weed from them when I ask for mids, then my order being correct and coming in at a reasonable time. The one down the street from me is regularly closed for random times during the day because it can't get people to come in. What sort of restaurant can't get someone in at 3pm on a Tuesday.

Ehh. Churches is really hit or miss, and majority miss. I have been told they don't sell things that are on the menu. You ever ask for tenders and get a blank stair back and the reply "we don't sell those". When that exact cashier sold you some a week ago.

I live in the south east. We do fried chicken because we are all fat as ****. Across the street from the entrance to my neighborhood we have a Chic-fil-a, take a right and we have a Zaxby's and then a Bojangles before the next stop light. A bit further down we just got a Popeye's and slightly past that is the KFC. There is also a Publix on the street. Majority of meals for myself are Chic-fil-a or Popeye's. If getting it for a group I am going to Publix.

Really????
Police shooting at people with rubber bullets who are staying on their own property?
I am not anti-police and feel that Law Enforcement fills a need within the community.
That said, I also cannot figure out where somebody sitting behind a desk made the decision that it is acceptable to go around shooting at people on their own property.
Talk about stupid.

Just consider how many ways that is wrong.
We are having nationwide demonstrations about police brutality so the police go around shooting random people on their own property with rubber bullets.
What if a real bullet gets mixed in with the rubber bullets?
How do you explain to a jury that you were only trying to scare people into submission and did not mean for anyone to die?
Lots of people are scared of the police so you alleviate their fear by shooting them with non-lethal bullets.
What if somebody decides the police have actually turned into the crazy murderers they have always projected them to be and shoot back with real bullets?

Maybe I am beginning to get the picture here.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit is it?

And yes. You are race bating with the bullshit you post. The Picture you posted of the Popeyes Tweet only showed part of the message. The rest of that Tweet was "There's no room for injustice. We commit to strengthening every facet of our culture and policies to foster an environment where equality for Black people is a priority. We'll use our platform to support this movement." A message that I 100% agree with.......But you didn't post that because you aren't concerned with the Truth. You just want to stir the pot, full on make **** up and twist turn and deflect in every possible way.

But go on with your mental gymnastics.

I didn't post that, because it wasn't in the image i saw when i copy and pasted it over here. And we are all smart to know I took their words and captioned it to be funny -- because I love exaggeration, hyperbole, satire, and humor to make a real point.

You just want to stir the pot, full on make **** up and twist turn and deflect in every possible way.
No **** I want to stir the pot. But I also don't go outside and rob and pillage and think it's moral, just, or somehow helping a cause.

Black people are 100% equal to every other person in American. This is 100% fact. This is not a twist or deflection. Also 100% fact: you can be the cause of your own problem/decline/delima.

You can lie to yourself all day long, so you feel good about yourself, that doesn't make things true.





also, these are the most true words ever spoken:

Grand Jurys are litterally Kangaroo courts.

Court system is the most corrupt institution in our country.

Most blacks are racist in my observations.

But seriously, if you believe that the courts are the most corrupt institution in the US, then you need to get out more. I suggest attending a county board meeting in Charlotte County FL, the bidding process for pretty much any public-works project in Chicago, or pretty much any of the affairs of the US Congress.

Joe, you beat me to it.
I didn't truly understand the concept of "corruption" until the company I worked for started doing business in Mexico.
They have graft and corruption blatantly out in the open.
Just the price of doing business in their minds.

The court system in the USA is all about generating $ to support and expand the court system pure and simple.
Any discussion of right and wrong is secondary and just window dressing.
O J Simpson is a great example of somebody who understood that you can get all the justice you can afford.
The money runs out so does the justice.
Different concept than the corruption practiced in Mexico.

Imagine using the victim mentality of black people as pawns to spread anarchy as your goal, then calling other people racist.

"Black People" is a generic term that is used in your context to propagate a negative perception that all people under that umbrella share the same opinion and prejudice.
I reject that attitude.
We are all individuals, no matter the race or sex or age or weight or hair color.

It is the same mentality that spins the narrative that all women are ****** and all men are rapists and some races are superior to others.
I also reject those attitudes.
