True that…but KFC’s products (just like any product from the US) are first geared towards their primary market and then allowed to spread around the world :)
Peace out :)

Yeah.. BUT, the fish zinger was released in the Gulf after Easter.

I think it’s easy to use the bird flu as an excuse but I didn’t believe that would be the reason they came out with the fish zinger. The following link sounds more like them…

“While the sandwich is being marketed generally, John O’Reilly, chief marketing officer for KFC, said the sandwich should prove especially popular on Friday’s, when Catholics traditionally don’t eat meat in the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday.”

“The Colonel Burger has been around for a long time. It was a product, started many years back, by Americana locally, to beat a competitor called Jack in the Box”

But there’s no Jack in the Box in the Middle East?

KFC without Transfat ? thats unreal !
if they do that probably they would lose alot of money trying to be healthy (as mcdonalds positions himself)

Although KFC’s sales in egypt have dropped ( i guess even more than 50 % ) , they haven’t started any pre-emptive action yet , bird flu has been in egypt since last year , they haven’t done anything , All they did is redecorating all their stores
