Junk-food starved Gazans can now order Kentucky Fried Chicken to go thanks to a new smuggling service which brings takeout from Egypt via a network of underground tunnels.
It’s not exactly “fast”—taking several hours to arrive, with the Palestinian delivery company behind it charging hefty prices to cover the cost of fuel and transport. …
Tight restrictions on Gazans entering Egypt mean those with a craving for chicken cooked to Colonel’s Secret Recipe cannot just pop over the border and pick up a bucket.

Better hope Bloomberg and Moochelle don’t hear about this!!!!
Maybe you need to get the UN to give you million$ of OPM.

Yes, but is it still warm when the customer receives it?
For a while I was calling them Kentucky Fried Chick because the chicken pieces kept getting smaller and smaller. If they took it any further I expected to get an egg fried in their secret herbs and spices.

“South Park” did an episode like this.
i scrolled to see if someone put that in. I love that episode.
The owner of KFC closed shop( many shops ) where I live maybe a year ago can’t remember , but I do remember KFC was terrible
Ours too. And they will charge you over $20 for a bucket ‘family meal’. Extra for every piece of real (white meat) chicken you add.
I quit KFC long ago. They are expensive. I have switched to El Pollo Loco which is cheaper and has much better meals anyway.
Righteous plan. KFC’s worth the smuggle.
