KFC to switch to Coca-Cola beverages in U.S. restaurants for the first time in decades

YOU ARE GOING TO THINK I AM MAKING THIS UP BUT KFC IS FINALLY DITCHING PEPSI FOR COCA-COLA IN THE US AND THAT IS HUGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN PAIRED UP SINCE 1986 WHICH IS LITERALLY DECADES OF CHICKEN AND PEPSI! THE COMPANY IS CALLING THIS THE KENTUCKY FRIED COMEBACK BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY ARE LOSING DINERS TO CHICK-FIL-A AND POPEYES SO THEY THINK A BEVERAGE SWAP WILL HELP! IT IS WILD BECAUSE PEPSI ACTUALLY OWNED KFC BACK IN THE DAY WHICH IS WHY WE HAD THAT WHOLE CONNECTION BUT NOW THEY ARE CUTTING TIES TO TRY AND WIN US BACK! I DO NOT KNOW IF COKE WILL ACTUALLY FIX THE FOOT TRAFFIC BUT THE PRESIDENT OF KFC US SAYS IT IS A PLATFORM TO INNOVATE AND MEET CHANGING TASTES SO MAYBE IT WILL WORK? OK ENOUGH, WHERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

OK SO THIS IS MY WHOLE PERSONALITY TODAY BUT DID YOU HEAR THAT KFC IS BREAKING UP WITH PEPSI AFTER ALL THIS TIME? FOR REAL, THEY ARE SWITCHING OVER TO COKE PRODUCTS STARTING NEXT YEAR WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN DECADES! IT IS BECAUSE KFC WANTS TO STOP PEOPLE FROM GOING TO CHICK-FIL-A AND POPEYES INSTEAD SO THEY ARE BRANDING THIS AS A CRITICAL STEP FOR THEIR KENTUCKY FRIED COMEBACK STRATEGY! THE PRESIDENT OF KFC US SAYS IT GIVES THEM A NEW PLATFORM TO INNOVATE WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE END OF AN ERA CONSIDERING PEPSI PREVIOUSLY OWNED THE WHOLE CHAIN! I HAVE NO IDEA IF A COKE DISPENSER IS THE FIX THEY NEED BUT APPARENTLY THEY ARE BETTING ON IT! ANYWAY THE QUEUE FOR THE BAR IS SHORTER NOW.

KFC is switching its U.S. beverage supplier from PepsiCo to Coca-Cola starting next year as part of a strategy to improve sales and compete better with rivals like Chick-fil-A and Popeyes.
