Can't even buy chicken in peace
Can't even buy chicken in peace
You wouldn't download a chicken tender.
It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.
Yeah, this warning is pretty clear about that ironically. You aren't allowed to have secrets, only they are. It's pretty on the nose, but I guess it could be misunderstood. That's probably how it got there. The person told to create this wanted to give a warning, but they couldn't straight up say it.
Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don't deserve to stay in business.
They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.
So they can sell your browsing habits to other advertising firms and, ultimately, other manufacturers or service providers… so they can badger you with more targeted ads…
Soda is a big money maker actually
I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more...
And act like they’re doing youthe favor, to allow you to politely hand them your hard-earned peasant pennies.
They don't want some of the money. They want all of the money.
Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.
Also, fuck yeah I'd download a chicken tender.
ublock origin, adguard and brave's adblocking are way better than the "adblock" extension.
Ahem. I was referring to "Adblock" as a class of software, not referring to one specific program (the same way that websites refer to blocking ads as "Adblock").
You have made an incorrect assumption.
It's unfortunate that Adblock has become the Zerox/Google/Velcro of un-shittyfying software.
why the fuck they need to show you an ad. you're already there buying chicken
Why make money if you can make MORE money?
They probably aren't showing you ads. They are probably inserting trackers to tag you as a person, a purchaser, who likes chicken and is willing to pay for food, for delivery etc. the size of your order may hint at demographics, like family, kids. The address.gives useful data, the type of credit card. What kind of software and hardware loaded the site? Etc etc.
If there's no secrets then there shouldn't be any problem with ad blocking
I interpret this as a pretty clear "you aren't allowed to have secrets" message. The only secrets allowed are theirs, not yours. They're going to track everything you do.
How bizarre. I mean, you’re trying to pay them money.
They deserve double money
Don't forget to tip your pop-up ads
experience optimal performance
Phone immediately bricks due to the sheer volume of malware and ads piling into the browser.
That's optimal performance for “put your phone down and go to the restaurant yourself”, which makes more money for KFC.
Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.
We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can't pop up. Ads can't auto play. Ad can't be bigger than this.
We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven't even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don't have time when I'm working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!
Do you really want a bunch of people who don't know how the internet and general tech works, along with massive corporate interest, regulating ads?
Edit: I'm from the US where our law markers are generally old and/or incompetent.
Vote in younger people and vote in educated people. And yes government CAN work for us and do good things. You have to vote for people who would do that.
Did anyone see that Biden's bill gave more funds to the IRS. They hired more people to help us, and go after the rich tax cheats, and are making a free government online filing system. Also the TurboTax company are complaining about it...and the rich, and Republicans.
I also would like government healthcare.
Their "joke" to shoehorn in a statement about their 11 herbs and spices doesn't even make sense. Like, it's implying you are using an ad blocker to gain secrets? What?
The overworked tech dude who had to build this page just didn't give a single shit I guess.
Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.
They never said what performance they are optimizing, I'm pretty sure it's profit.
Yes, it's for optimizing their experience, not ours. F that BS.
While this is egregious, why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?
I didn't know that was even possible. This is a wholly unexpected mode of behavior.
Well its not going to be on BK dot com.
An irritating number of companies make it inconvenient to just view a menu, and want you to "Start your order!" to see prices and availability. I get that certain items are regional so entering a zip code makes sense, but if I just want to look at a menu and prices to see if I even want to do business with them I shouldn't have to create an account.
That said, for convenience purposes I'll occasionally order food online or over the phone so it's ready by the time I'm driving past on my way home and pick it up.
I often feel I'm stuck in the 90's when it comes to ordering food. I like calling a restaurant, I like driving to pick it up myself, I like asking them shit about the menu over the phone.
I'm a human being, yo talk to me, don't just tell me to go to the app or the website.
And before anyone beats me to it, yeah I'm angry at that cloud.
Despite the title, I was just trying to check the menu lol. 🥲
looks like we need ad blocker detection blockers now.
A username named "Reek" had one but it hasn't been updated in years
It's blacklisted by uBlock Origin, I don't remember with which claims.
Sorry, best I can do is never visit your shitty website again. Guess I'll order fried chicken from somewhere else, or, better yet, make a superior version at home!
I just close these types of sites and do something different out of spite.
Out of more love for myself, than greedy megacorporations.
Make sure to update your Ad Blocker settings to include the whole site.
Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.
Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the "right" thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?
They're kinda telling on themselves, 'no secrets' what does watching an add have to do with secrets, unless they want you to have no secrets from them, and give you all a your data. Then that sentence makes sense. That sentence has some real twist / projection / gaslighty vibes. Why do corporations feel like my abusive ex.
Because they are. They need you financially but they hate your guts too.
Exactly!
Went to some kind of restaurant chain once (red robin I think?) and there were ads as we were eating.
Yeah they put ads on that little screen you use to pay. Also it never has any receipt paper loaded.
optimal performance
WTF
What ads are even on a Pepsico website? Why would Pepsi need 3rd party advertising on their own website?
You order online for delivery to avoid COVID only to catch a computer virus from an ad. I used to watch my relatives browse to a news page and IMMEDIATELY get hit with a "MICROSOFT ERROR CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx TO FIX IT". Then I put ublock origin on their PC aaaaaaand good game ads!
I don't eat there anyways, but I wish I could even more not eat there now.
Maybe you should cook some food and deliver it to your local KFC - would that count?
Nah, delivering better food is a loss
They didn't understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.
That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.
No longer a secret: The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:
11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour
2⁄3 t salt 1⁄2 t thyme 1⁄2 t basil 1⁄3 t oregano 1 t celery salt 1 t black pepper 1 t dry mustard 4 t paprika 2 t garlic salt 1 t ground ginger 3 t white pepperhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC_Original_Recipe#Recipes or https://www.allrecipes.com/article/what-are-kfcs-11-herbs-and-spices/
Please eat less fried foods, for your own health.
Amazing, had no idea this was ever revealed!
Feels like nobody cared because current KFC is so average to bad quality. No point stealing that recipe outside for laughs/nostalgia.

Honestly I doubt they use anywhere near that many spices anymore.
The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.
Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.
It's not on a browser as such. I use the Google News app on my phone. I can't believe it would block anything at all.
The most common one I've seen on Google News uses DNS checking, too. If it can't resolve an ad domain, it assumes you're using an ad blocker.
See though, the thing is my idea of "optimal performance" means using an app without seeing any ads. So, no I don't think I'll be turning it off.
Very important has to be the thing that I'm doing so that I have to open a browser without ad-block. For most things the close tab button brings me more peace of mind.
They block TOR too. I have never had KFC, I was just curious how bad one of those sites was.
Don't bother trying it. It's gotten really bad over the years. The chickens have gotten smaller, and now they cut the normal 9 pieces of chicken in half in order to get more out of a chicken and provide extra mechanically separated meat for all the new sandwiches. There are much better fried chicken places around.
It's not even like the kind of phenomenally bad that you have to try, it's just the most completely mediocre fried chicken you can imagine. Last couple times I tried it (in laws always order it when we visit for some reason), it's been soggy with grease, not even crispy, and all the oil stops you from really tasting anything. You might as well just slop some bread crumbs into some vegetable oil if you really want the KFC experience.
I read the pop up in the robotic voice of the Colonel Sanders Simulation Rocket
Its finger licking goodDisable your ad blocker
More importantly, why are you eating KFC (unless you’re outside of the US where it’s actually edible)?
KFC in Japan is actually worse somehow
KFC in the UK is responsible for the only time I got chips (fries) while drunk on a night out that were so bad that I binned them
KFC in Canada is fucking atrocious. Aside from seeking out the worst staff possible, they have the worst quality food of any fast food places I've been to. Every 5 or so years I tend to forget just how bad it is, give them another chance, and something about the meal is inedible. Last time got a chicken sandwich and there was a chunk of the bun that was ultra hard and they forgot to put fucking fries in the bag, so I had a meal of a chicken patty of mostly batter and a mostly water diet Pepsi.
I've been in a kfc in Germany and was blown away how people actually eat that shit. But at the same time, people also enjoy McDonald's and burger king, so maybe it's just me
To add on to the list of countries, Singapore KFC is the only fast food franchise where you can occasionally find overcooked blackish terrible tasting chicken. Macs, Popeyes, Arnolds, BK, Jollibee, etc - not even once (yet).
In my opinion even the Seattle KFC is better.
I've had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.
I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I'd sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald's or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I've tried both US and EU versions of these products)
KFC in Australia is pretty good. It's no Popeyes, but it's not bad.
I live in the USA now and while most KFCs I've been to here are pretty bad, there's one KFC near me that's strangely pretty decent. Chicken is always hot and fresh and they never make any mistakes with the order. I just wish they'd bring back the potato wedges since the fries are horrible.
The chicken sandwich at KFC is pretty decent too.
Nice, they're worried about losing ad money and analytics over losing more money by selling what their whole business is about.
You heard KFC no secrets allowed from them and from you. Open the cookie wall you must be tracked.
Man, what is it with KFC and their "security" staff, I think I've read it even has issues when it detects root or something, no one wants to steal your chicken bruh!
the secret sauce is in the double dip.
Even more enshittification of the Internet ffs!?
Why are you using edge bro use firefox or librefox.
They're using firefox...
What? They're using firefox
What you really want is an air fryer! Dude it's actually such a good kitchen tool for cooking. It's slower than microwaving but you get more crisp fries or other food and less burnt fries or other food than with any other method.
Well, I'm sure you can buy delicious fried chicken elsewhere at a local joint (those people won't block your ads)!
What are they gonna do, not sell you chicken?
adguard for desktop, adguard DNS inside your VPN on your phone.
Load adguard for desktop with anti-adblock killer and fuckfuckadblock. And use brave browser with fingerprint and ad blocking set to aggressive and strict.
I very rarely get any bullshit notifications like this.
Your adblock sucks. There are ads everywhere on the picture.
If you mean the chicken, it's hardly an ad since I navigated to their site. 😆
What? Why is this this a think.
Anyway use ublock origin with updated block lists and this likely won't happen.
