Yes, the only thing special about them is the ingredient list and
probably their cheapness.

2017 - 1971... let me see that's 46 years ago.

Have you seen footage of chicken factories in the past 10 years or so?
I saw English chef Hugh Fearnley go into one. He came out crying. And
that was the UK. The US has lower standards, if any.

Have you seen the footage of the American turkey factory workers who
were kicking live turkeys around like footballs?

People are awful.

Could be that special type from Mount Arat.

Tightly lidded, of course. I figure the only reason to be drinking
while driving (and I am of course NOT referring to alcohol) is if you're
on a long trip. Going to the grocery store? I'm sure you can hold out.

Some people seem to *have* to have a bottle or a cup of liquid in the
car every time they leave the house. You'd think the car wouldn't start
if you didn't put something in that cup holder. LOL

I eat in my car a few times a week. I keep a pack of Sargento shredded
sharp cheddar in the center console to add to my tacos. I keep extra
taco souce (sic) in there, too!

Spell-check is mostly a joke anyway. Any time I use it on RFC it keeps
trying to change Ed's last name to something. Your name came out
Cartright. Own the Ponderosa, do you?

I have an insulated stainless steel bottle that I take if we are going
more than an hour. I used to take it to work for the ride home. I
should have just taken a drink of water before leaving but mostly did
not and on the way home I'd relax from the day and get thirsty. The
water was still ice cold and very welcome. Even in the heat of the
summer, that bottle can sit in the car all day and still have ice 9 or
10 hours later.

In a couple months I will be able to stick a bottle of frozen water in
my car and it will sty frozen until March or April.

When I say something perfectly to cshenk, like the above, she never
replies. She's not interested in "reasonable". She's only looking for
a fight. And that, cshenkie, makes YOU the troll.

Back then, the backbone was not served with the chicken. The whole breasts were the largest pieces. That was chicken heaven. God knows what they did with all those backbones.

Sure, you can add a word or create your own spelling. It's just goofy
it wants to change your surname to Cartright. It wants Ed's last name
to be "Malinowski" or "paleolithic".

This is why I say they're pretty much useless. It's not my job to keep
them updated or create a dictionary. Regardless, everyone makes typos.
It's really no big deal.

It's only a matter of adding Add instead of Ignore.

I don't care about mistakes, spelling, typos or any of that, as long as I
can read it, I'm good.

The spell checker within Agent is excellent - can be set to English UK
or English US so it depends what you use.

She's under orders from Jill not to talk to me, so I'm safe for now

The grandkids would think paleolithic would be about right.

Most times I go back and re-read before sending, but not always. Like
you, I can read the sentence and it is not a concern. Once in a while
a good typo is the best part of the thread.

And you think that smoking in your car is better than eating in
your car? Do explain.

Personally, if I own the car (and it's not a lease), I do any
damn thing I want to in the car. Others can just back off with
the criticism.

Not true in my store, Dsi1. Remember, I cut up all the
perfect fresh chickens that summer. I liked that part
of my job. Backbones were sliced right down the middle
and you got 1/2 backbone with each breast piece.

Here's how I cut them using a cool spinning razor sharp round
blade:

- fold the two wings then cut them off
- cut the chicken in half between breast and thigh area
- cut the "keel" off of the tip of chicken breast
- cut the chicken breast in half, right down the middle
of the backbone.
- cut between thighs and drums

9 pieces and 2 chickens (18 pieces) to a bag.

When we cooked chicken in 6 large pressure cookers
with lard, that cooked one bag (18 pieces) in each
pressure cooker.

Back then, KFC was NOT a full restaurant that served other things
besides chicken.

My store sold "original chicken" only. This was before they came
out with extra crispy and whatever else they added later.

So.... Various meals of the original only. We also added mashed
potatoes with gravy. And coleslaw. No dumb biscuits back then.
Back then your meal came with 2 soft dinner rolls. Only other
thing sold there were tiny single serving desserts and a few
whole dessert pies to take home.

We also delivered but not from someones personal car. The store
had their own KFC VW bug painted red with the KFC logo and pic of
Col.Sanders on both sides. The passenger seat was removed to hold
the insulated hot box for deliveries.

I did most of the deliveries too. Mostly to the Newport naval
base. Some on ships so I got to walk up the gangplank and deliver
onboard ships. Others to the barracks there.

As someone else said, this was long ago and probably not the same
now. I know they don't use pressure cookers now. Now it's some
new-fangled pressure frier thing. Probably not lard either.

One last thing. The good perk of the job was that when you were
working your shift, you were allowed to eat all the chicken that
your wanted. At first I thought I had died and gone to KFC
heaven. Funny though...after eating all I wanted to for a week or
so, I got so sick of that chicken taste that most of my time, I
never again ate any "free" chicken. hehaha

I never even went back to KFC for several years after I had left.
Good chicken but "too much of a good thing" is very true.

:-D

I rarely use my spellchecker but when I do and it catches a
word... If that's something you use often, just press "learn"
instead of "ignore". You should try that.

Exactly! Mine says "learn" but it's the same as your "Add"

Unless you are leasing a car and planning to return it, I suspect
most people will eat, drink, smoke in their cars. I've never
worried about it. As I said, when long distant traveling, I'll
stop and buy extra food so I can munch along the boring way. I'm
not a slob though that might spill food out of my mouth onto the
seat cover or the floor.

Same here. It's all easy enough to figure out.

Yes, it is. I do notice as I've gotten older that sometimes words like
*their* and *there* get mixed up occasionally as well.

Your car, your rules.

We stop and eat at a table in a restaurant when traveling,
although we sometimes have a snack (potato chips or similar)
while driving. We would not consider extra burgers to be
a snack, but you eat a lot more than we do.

I'm pretty sure my husband occasionally eats fast food in his car,
but I don't eat in my car.

I probably would be ok with my husband eating lunch in my car,
but I never would drive while eating anything substantial; it's
too much of a distraction.

I was never in the habit of eating while driving. I made an exception
one night. I was really hungry after an evening paddle and I stopped and
picked up some tacos. It was a twenty plus minute drive home and I
figured they would get cold and soggy so I should eat them on the way
home. On my second or third bite the thing flopped open and the hot
contents spilled out onto my shirt, pants and the car seat. I hope I
learned my lesson from that one.
