THE . WEDGES . ARE . BACK!

Who even eats there?

This is some of the best news I've heard all week. It's the little things!

How nice. How nice for us all.

I am so there!!! I'm getting a 12 piece bucket (original recipe, all dark meat, please) and 3 orders of the wedges.

I should be able to get at least two meals out of this feast.

They're "gifting" influencers with a potato?

Oh...yay.

It's very easy to make potato wedges at home in the oven. Wash potatoes, cut into wedges, mix them with seasoning in a bowl (or use plastic bag and shake, shake, shake), add olive oil and toss, put on tray, and bake. Takes no time at all.

Make potato wedges in the oven? What is this, Afghanistan? I’m an American and I went my potato wedges instantly served to me with zero effort.

i prefer the publix deli wedges...cheaper and tastier!

Yay!

The wedges were their big draw. Idiots made a terrible choice, and sales have plummeted. They need to bring them back, and the other fast food restaurants better get it that their 90s versions were far more superior to today's overpriced crap.

Speaking of KFC, does anyone remember KFC Rotisserie Gold Chicken, circa 1995?

Moist and delicious and as addictive as meth or crack.

R11 Potato wedges aren't the reason people are staying away from KFC.

This shit covered by SNAP as well?

R14 No, Donald, restaurant food is not eligible for SNAP.

Maybe ask your gardener's wife to explain Food Stamps to you again.

It’s apart of the reason, R13.

R7, what do you mean no time at all? Probably takes 45 min, baked potatoes take forever

R16 You're right. It really is "apart," as in totally unrelated.

Sales dropped considerably after the wedges were taken off the market, R18.

R19 They took wedges out of stores in the first half of 2020. You know, when the whole fucking planet was buried in a pandemic and nobody was eating out?

Of course KFC's sales dropped that year.

Do you have any actual data on sales figures, and any hint at a correlation between company revenues and the presence or absence of these wedges? Or are you just counting your own pennies, you fat whore?!?!

The sales dropped, R20, when they removed the wedges.

I haven't had KFC in years. I do remember that they had the best cole slaw and the best biscuits and my mother loved their chicken pot pies. We'd get a bucket of extra crispy with sides. The mashed potatoes were great. As a kid I couldn't get enough of them. And no, I am not fat. Never had the wedges. Haven't had any KFC since 2009. Since I moved from the Midwest to Georgia, there's fried chicken in every market and on every corner. Seriously. If you want a taco or a piece of fried chicken they're on every fucking corner. But not much KFC.

R15 All sorts of fast food in California accept EBT cards.

I don’t know. There are reports saying this is some kind of hoax.

Down South, we call those things potato logs.

Often found as a side at the meat-and-threes.

Skid marks dropped, when they removed the wedges.

FIFY

My local grocery store also makes these fresh and are delicious. You can get a lot of them for under $3. They're usually with the rotisserie chickens around the lunch hour.

I wonder if KFC will start suing those grocery stores, R27.

I haven't been to KFC since around 2001, but thanks to all of the DL posts about potato wedges, when I saw this Twitter post, I automatically thought of all of the fat whores rejoicing.

Like R27, my grocery store sells wedges, and once or twice a year, I'll get some.

I make my own in my air fryer and they come out just fine!

😂 Holy shit, it’s got over 330K likes.

There’s like two whole potatoes in that cup.

Is there a "crust" on those things? Do they dip them in some kind of coating before they deep fry them?

I prefer Church’s

[QUOTE] Is there a "crust" on those things? Do they dip them in some kind of coating before they deep fry them?

I don’t know and I don’t care. All I know is that I’m going to buy three boxes and eat one on the drive home.

Our prayers have been answered! Praise be!

"I prefer Church's."

I was visiting my flyoverland hometown last year. I stopped in at a Church's that I remember being built circa 1969/70.

The place looked like it hadn't been remodeled, much less cleaned, since then. I left without ordering.

You should’ve tried the wedges, R38. At least so you could spit them out and declare them inferior to KFC.

Taking away those wedges was one of the stupidest decisions by an American business ever. It's right up there with New Coke and at least the Coca-Cola Company had the good sense to repent after that. KFC still hasn't gotten the message. Shitheads.

America has decided. It wants the Wedges Back.

I know a thing or two about wedges, and where they belong.

"I should be able to get at least two meals out of this feast"

Brunch and lunch, dear?

I love wedges

It wasnt as much the wedges being taken off the menu as it was their fucking prices have gotten RIDICULOUS.

A girl’s gotta eat!

Wedges are already back at my KFC.

Or, um, so I’ve heard…

Biden promised me an 8 yr democratic president and KFC potato wedges.

And what we get. An orange cunt back from the dead. Weep😞

Try this out, ya fat hawgs!

Tater lawgs.

[QUOTE] Try this out, ya fat hawgs!

Why? I’ll be buying wedges again in four days.

Wedges? We sure are back.
