KFC drops "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan amid pandemicAugust 25, 2020 - 16:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Global fast food giant KFC says it is halting its "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan given the current hygiene advice because of the coronavirus pandemic. "We find ourselves in a unique situation - having an iconic slogan that doesn't quite fit in the current environment," the company said, according to the BBC. It has altered its packaging with the phrase obscured but KFC said the phrase would return when the time was right. KFC outlets closed temporarily in March, but most have now reopened. The company revealed its new look through a YouTube video, showing the slogan pixelated on posters and its food "buckets", saying: "That thing we always say? Ignore it. For now." Some people commented on social media the slogan was not a health hazard as you were already eating with your own hands. But the finger-lickin' message has caused concern since the pandemic began. In March, the Advertising Standards Authority received 163 complaints about a KFC TV advert which featured people licking their fingers.
