Ever wonder what kind of success Harland Sanders might have had if he started off serving buckets of potatoes instead of fried chicken? Wonder no more! If the image above (kudos to Sam Reeves of Chinese Culture) is any indication, he would have succeeded big time – in China, at least. Then he’d have to defend his copyright against a host of predatory American noodle-making imitators.

You know who else opened a fake KFC outlet in Thailand? Yep, THAT guy… wait, wasn’t Der Fuhrer a vegetarian? Bangkok Dangerous indeed. KFC caught wind of the soon-to-open outlet in mid-2013 and threatened a lawsuit while issuing the following statement: “We find it extremely distasteful and are considering legal action since it is an infringement of our brand trademark and has nothing to do with us.” The store eventually opened as “UEU” instead of “Hitler” though the bizarre Fuhrer Sanders graphic remained. Perhaps KFC needs to open a second legal front.
