KFCatastrophe

Sign #224 of the apocalypse.

The media is obsessed with KFC’s Double Down. Apparently the all-meat sandwich is, to date, the clearest sign of the coming apocalypse.

But in terms of KFC food-crime, the 2XD (can I trademark a sandwich nickname?) is nothing compared to this:

Last night, I ordered two pieces of KFC grilled chicken (a drumstick and a thigh), and I asked for honey mustard and sweet & sour sauce… and, well, look how much sauce the guy gave me. Three tubs per chicken piece!

Is this KFC’s usual policy? How many mustard trees must perish before change is made? (Kidding: I have no idea whether there’s actually any mustard in KFC’s “mustard.”) Was the guy at the window hoping to get a tip from me? Was he hitting on me? What’s going on? Is this the apocalypse?!

1) The ingredients listings is clearly on the honey mustard package, so if you read it you'd see "mustard seeds" are listed...

2) I like how your second immediate instinct to explain getting three of each sauce is that the drive through guy is hitting on you.

3) What is that red Tupperware looking container? (I don't go to KFC, so I could just be clueless as to how they package their foods...)

The red was sweet and sour. So I guess the barbeque is darker red or brown...not sure...

No, I meant the red topped plastic container on the left side of the picture that's in with the chicken. What is that?
