Mystery KFC KFC changes KFC

KFC

The first edition: The story of why the KFC fried chicken founded by Harland Sanders was renamed KFC was to delete the word "fried". The word "fried" has negative meanings such as unhealthy, high cholesterol, obesity and so on. Therefore, as a healthier family restaurant to cater to all ages, including health-conscious people, and strive to reinvent themselves, KFC changed its name to KFC.

Second Edition: The US Food and Drug Administration reviewed the operation of KFC fried chicken and found that they were fed genetically modified chickens with extra large breasts and extra legs to harvest meat [ranging from 4 to 6] . The US Food and Drug Administration claims that these creatures cannot be labeled as "chicken." Kentucky is reluctant to lose such a lucrative operation to comply with the rules and decides to change its name to KFC instead of cancelling the word "chicken."

the truth

In fact, KFC fried chicken decided to change its name in order to avoid paying license fees to Kentucky. In 1990, Kentucky decided to register a trademark for its name to reduce its accumulated debt. Therefore, KFC must pay the state government a sum of money for the use of "Kentucky."

Obviously, they are reluctant to use it for nearly forty years [they began in the 1950s] and refused to pay such royalties as a matter of principle. After many rounds of negotiations, they were unable to let the government take a position and then decided to change their name instead of paying. This coincides with the brand reshaping activities mentioned above and everything goes smoothly.

Evidence that this version is true is that many activities and businesses have also changed their names to eliminate the term "Kentucky." These examples include the most famous horse races in North America. The change that was formerly known as the "Kentucke game" was "Rose Run". The seed and nursery clothing provider "Kentucky Blue Grass" was changed to "Snowland Blue Grass" and Neil. Neil Diamond's song "Kentucky Woman" was removed from the radio station at his own request because he paid more for the Kentucky royal family than he received from the radio.

Last words

In November 2006, Kentucky Fried Chicken finally reached an undisclosed agreement with Kentucky on this issue, and they could use their names again.

In Wikipedia's entry on KFC, there are significant differences in the reasons why KFC changed its name. The information on the wiki uses the first version of the story to be the correct position. If this is the case, what is the name change for other entities that are not related to the chicken? It turns out that it depends on public debt, but of course I will defend my point of view.
