I wonder why that article is calling it Kentucky Fried Chicken. I thought the company changed its name to KFC.

I'm also wondering how a diner licking his own fingers can catch a virus from someone else.

I wonder how many folks actually lick their fingers because of that slogan? My guess is probably 0.

It's better than their last motto-
"It Tastes a Lot Like Chicken".

If a person's hands isn't properly washed or sanitized they could catch covid-19 from microbes on their hands.

It's an antiquated stupid phrase and KFC probably used the pandemic as an excuse to dump it but it has noting to do with the virus. You wash your hands before dinner like mom used to tell you and you lick your fingers when the chicken grease gets on them. Only crazed liberals would worry about a person licking his fingers in his own home.
