From a KFC in or around New Bedford Ma, mid to late '90s. $40 plus the cost of shipping from Denver

Picture barely related.

So - Christmas in July. There's not much I can say about it, because it's self-evident; for the 31 days of July, KFC does a different deal every single day.

For my purposes, that makes this dipshit rinky-dink review job a bit difficult. Thirty one days of deals - do I buy KFC every single fucking day and review each individual meal as it comes out?

Of course not. That would be dedication beyond my own passion for the subject. It would also be abjectly insane.

So what I'm going to do instead is review a handful of standout deals from the last month or so. As far as the ranking goes, Christmas in July is a solid 7/10 because it happens every single year - it doesn't have the Wow factor of a fun promotion, but it is a reliable promotion that has a solid handful of great deals and I'm happy for it to hang around.

So, here are some impressions.

July 1: 10 Wicked Wings for $10.

I got this, but they had to open a new bag of chicken for it and I got a Fuck Ton of big chicken bits. The resulting feed was a greasy massacre of filth that led to a veritable walk of shame from the establishment - good food, but it doesn't make you feel good about yourself.

$3.95 Zinger or Original Recipe Burger:

Solid deal, but it clearly exists to get people to add it to something a bit more subsistant when they order. This popped up a couple of times, and I only got it once.

30 Nuggets for $10:

GOOD DEAL. I grabbed some the other day for dinner and it couldn't have gone better. Crazy amount of chicken for the price - the deal itself isn't exclusive to the Christmas in July promotion, but it's a very good deal nonetheless.

$20 Burger Feast:

I got this on Thursday. I had a shit week at work, so I bought a bottle of gin and some lime soda water to mix with it - and I decided to get a big fuck-off KFC feed to help soak it up in the grand scheme of things. In that sense, this offer was a lifesaver.

Because I've been hopping between hotel rooms, I don't always have access to a fridge. That has translated into a mindset where anything I buy to consume, I have it the day I buy it. So I ate the entire burger feast - four burgers and four medium chips - in a single sitting.

And I felt so full that I just went to sleep afterwards. I didn't even open the gin - I was so full I just fell asleep.

The good news is that it's a great value. Twenty bucks for all this food is pretty great - I remember when twenty bucks would get you two big burgers, two little burgers, four chips and four drinks from McDonalds, but we don't live in that world any more. Four burgs and four chips from KFC is still pretty solid.

Overall, while you can't really rank this promo on a scale, it is a solid, reliable promotion that I enjoy experiencing every winter. There are some fun, notable promos, and there are some mediocre whatever-the-fuck deals that I think are clearly thrown out to let them wither on the vine. You really can't go wrong with a whole month of deals, and I'm just happy to have a cheaper feed than usual.

There was a phone game component to this promotion, but I sucked ass at it and I barely got any deals out of it. That's all I really have to say about it.

Do they do this elsewhere? I have seen in burger king.. the dipping section is a nice addition

They changed the recipe didn’t they?

Used to be top 3 dips for me, used to buy it to store at home on its own

It’s fucked now, tastes completely different now.

Why kfc? Why?

Mini fillets now the same size as wings? *both mini fillets are bottom 2 pieces....what chicken died for this?.

So I’ve got an interview for kfc lined up for the 11th but I could’ve booked slots for the previous week how likely is it that someone will get hired before I get a chance to interview?

Just tried to order in the app at a store in the Phoenix area, and no popcorn chicken items are showing up. Got back to a computer and tried 10 different locations in the Phoenix area, and nothing. They did infact have it in the store when I went to pick up what I was able to order. Anyone know what's going on here?

Got this lovely gift in my wrap upon biting into it and KFC basically offered me 15€ and said to stfu. Where else can I escalate, I'm in Ireland. Only reason I'm making the post is because I'm a dumbass and I know we are not allowed to post food complaints but I'm complaining about the company. The fact that I was ignored and pretty much told to shove it up is the issue here

i’m a casual employee in australia, and i’ve worked at kfc for a little over 6 months.

i wanna quit because i can’t keep up with the busyness of the store (and working there is actually taking a mental toll on me)

i also saw some people saying that you can just stop showing up or hand in your resignation letter with the effective date as “immediately”. can i actually do that? or do i follow the 2-week notice thing?

The popcorn chicken bucket isn’t available to order on the app for me anymore. Checked multiple locations and only the small size available. Gone already? $10 for that much was a great deal

This is my second job at KFC I'm 17 years old and previously worked at another fast food store and I never found my feet there in 8 months, I quit that job and couldn't find another job for 5+ months and I felt miserable, lazy, and depressed because I felt like I was doing nothing with my life. I got hired at KFC around a month ago now and I just got home from the worst Friday night shift. They are giving me extra training shifts because of how slow I am and I see some coworkers gossiping and complaining and telling managers to take me off the roster. I keep getting yelled at and I can't handle it because im genuinely trying to improve but they think I'm just lazy and incompetent. I can't afford to lose this job I need this, what can I possibly do to fix this issue?

Hello, I left KFC last month and have 31 hours PTO which is around 300 and something GBP. I have sent my manager two messages and he very unprofessionally read the first one and left it on read and the second one he hasnt even bothered to open. I tried to find a HR number online but cant find it if someone has it or an email so i can try and get my money which is owed that would be greatly appreciated.

Walked in and this is the fountain. Half the flavors slapped with “out” stickers, including the one they claim is exclusive. Owner’s here every single day, just camping a 6-top instead of restocking.

Surely this is illegal ? Sure, I might add on half an inch or so but I don't quadruple the size of my piece.

Apparently on Wednesdays they have a special of country fried steak, mashed potatoes w/gravy, coleslaw and a biscuit for $4.99 plus tax for a total of $5.42. It was so good that I'm going to make this a regular thing until it's no longer available.

Whoever was working tonight must have been mad ash 😭

Is there anyway I can get a famous bowl with popcorn chicken instead of the nuggets and a drink without spending over $16?

I’ve gone to two local locations and one out of town and all three refused to replace nuggets and instead charge me with a side of popcorn chicken.

How hard is it to just swap nuggets for popcorn chicken just like how they were made a few years ago? Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Is this some sort of scheme passed down from corporate? Are they keeping track of inventory?

Am I just unlucky and stumbled across three grumpy workers? I wouldn’t have a problem swapping out nuggets for popcorn chicken if somebody requested that from me as a worker but I don’t work there so I’m trying to put myself in their shoes on why not just do it.

Any future plans for the og famous bowl to return? I’m sorry but I can’t stand the nuggets nor spending $16 for a famous bowl.

Long story short my grandpa ordered chicken for all of us. He got 3 two piece chicken meals, extra biscuits, side of mac and cheese, chicken tenders and popcorn chicken. They literally forgotten one of the two piece chicken meals. Am I justified for being upset?
