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 Oâ€™Reilly, chief marketing officer for KFC, said the sandwich should prove especially popular on Fridayâ€™s, when Catholics traditionally donâ€™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
