Ceritera Kejatuhan KFC Paling EPIC!!

(someone suggested changing the entry title to "KFC Just Give Away Their Double Zinger Burger for Every Purchase Of 55 cent bun") lol


I suggest reading the entry first before watching the video because it will be funnier. LOL

Okey. Now the drill:

KFC just announced a promo today (14th Dec) where customer could get a Zinger Combo with any purchase. YES!! With ANY purchase, even a bun!! The T&C are like the usual stuff including the oh-so-famous 'while stock last' term.

Here is the coupon:

Oh.. Don't bother printing.

The said coupon was taken down merely 4 hours after it was published. 

Resulting rages in their official FB. I won't even bother to give the link here.

Yes. I do agree the luck is on their side because of their 'while stock last' T&C. (or else some well educated customers or customer who read law will surely sue them)  But, but, for the coupon to have a 30 days expiry date (14 Dec 2011 to 15 Jan 2012). A 5-hour run then claiming out of stock is really ridiculous!! Where did they find their marketing people? A UPSR graduate?  Didn't they do any research what-so-ever?  This is like the zillions time they try to copy McD's but  this time KFC failed epically!!

It is like making an announcement that they are going to sell Double Zinger burger BUT with only 2 pieces in stock.. LOL. The marketing team FAILED!!

Maybe this is what people called KARMA (can't used that word) payback time after all the hiatus  over the kaki-ayam-kaki's youtube video (I even got kicked out from their FB wall after making a nasty comment LOL) and robbing people money on their 'oh so nicer than McD's pancake' shit advertisement.

And to say that this is just Malaysian mentality; Raging over stupidious (is that a word?) thing. I would like to say "ain't everybody wants a free lunch?".  

Besides, I do remember some times ago, there is a Starbucks buy 1 free 1 AMEX promotion. The promotion was supposed to end November this year but ended around August or September. People with AMEX had a good time and the promotion lasted at least for 6 months. When AMEX said no stock, people just took the news sportingly.

This KFC on the other hand, is BULLSHIT! Less than 24 hours. Maybe you didn't proof-read the coupon (get Zinger Combo with ANY purchase??) We know u rugi, but that is your problem.

CikguKeAku? It's not about the MONEY. It's about the PRINCIPLE.

KFC A.M. Blueberry Pancake Platter Combo is an Insult!

 Introduction.. LOL

When we see a picture, even if it is just a sketch, we would love to imagine that it will be exactly the same in reality..

My kitchen sketch, after 2 days brain-storming session with my I.D., Alvin

My real kitchen, 80% like the sketch we agreed upon earlier, except in reality there are too many stuffs :)

 Ok. Now the real reason for this entry. 

I've just finished cleaning up my kitchen because I want to cook a hearty breakfast tomorrow morning. I seldom cook in the morning but after a devastating, heartbreaking, money-wasting incident at KFC this morning, I am so determine to prepare a better breakfast with less $$$.

Oh, Look what I found on the net!!

It looks so delicious together with that melting butter and fluffy pancakes

Owai! Although I have sworn never to eat anything that come out from KFC kitchen again after the infamous chicken-in-foot video (click here) that when viral a few months back, I decided to break my pantang when  I saw this picture and the TV commercial too many times until I couldn't resist any longer. It does look nice and filling.

BUT BOY I WAS WRONG!!

Doesn't look that delicious anymore aite?

What I received this morning was a FAILURE!! Why?

1. The scrambled egg was just 1/2 an egg (or maybe less) put in the small container (the same container which they serve small coleslaw/mashed potato).
2. Hash brown was 1/2 a hash brown. (Yes. They cut it too. Blurgh!)
3. And the so called hot pancake was not a bit warm. I tried putting butter on top of it but it just won't melt (cry)
4. The size of the pancake was almost the same of the cover of the coleslaw container (refer the real picture, then look at their imaginary picture, let say it together: F.A.I.L.U.R.E)
5. It took me less than 5 minutes to finish them all and the saddest part was I was still hungry!! So I went to Mamak's for a lip smacking tosei (80 sen only mind you!)

It was so sad and I feel cheated, by the misleading picture, the advertisement and all. With the same value, (RM8.60) I could go to Mamak or any roadside stall or even McDonald's and feast like a king.

This is what we called Daylight Robbery misleading advertisement.

I did complain about the breakfast set (nicely) to one of the staff and fill-up the comment form but I am 100% sure no one will ever bother. (unless of course someone spit on the batter and make a youtube video out of it).  So that's it. I guess I won't be contributing any cent to them starting from now.

So my resolution, (for tomorrow at least).

I'm gonna prepare my own American style breakfast and satisfied my craving for a hot pancakes!!
