That’s what Kentucky Fried Chicken signalled to customers on Monday as the company suspended its “It’s Finger Lickin’ Good” tagline after 64 years, deeming it “the most inappropriate slogan for 2020" amid the coronavirus pandemic.The suspension will affect the slogan's use in global advertising “for a little while," the company said in a statement.

“We find ourselves in a unique situation — having an iconic slogan that doesn’t quite fit in the current environment,” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, the company’s global chief marketing officer.The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention's coronavirus safety measures calls for people to avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands to reduce exposure to the virus.

Go Woke, go broke.

You have to laugh at this for them to do this. It is silly that KFC do this to remove it from their menu. Just go to Macca's next time.

And yet try and eat it with a knife and fork.

Should make a chain of gentlemen’s establishments with that slogan. You’d be a millionaire
