If you must know, the first McDonalds didn't open in the UK until 1974. Meanwhile in the US, you could buy a Coke in McDonalds in 1955.

Sugar Rush!
This comment made me feel slightly unwell.
Many, many moons ago, when Vic Walmsley used to be the manager there, I was a VERY regular customer, sometimes even having it for dinner and, if the wife had had a bad day at work and didn't fancy cooking when we got home, tea as well. On a few ocassions, as I went in the staff were just about to throw away a whole tray-full of chicken (about 24 pieces if I remember right) because they were slightly overcooked and couldn't be sold to the public, so because I was such a good customer, I was allowed to pay for two pieces and chips but take the whole 'ruined' tray - which was indeed slightly overcooked, but thoroughly enjoyable nontheless :-)

I dunno why KFC bother with those minuscule lemon-scented moist towelettes - you'd be hard-pressed to get rid of all that fucking grease from your hands and mouth with a whole tub of Swarfega, let alone something about a quarter the size and 0.000000001% as effective as a baby wipe.
Their fries are rank as well - pale, insipid and plasticky. I swear they are McCain's Micro Chips.
AND they can never get the water/syrup mix right in their soft drinks.
On the other hand the coleslaw and beans are alright.

I think that article about the Preston KFC may contain the least interesting fact of all time:
It is quite an interesting fact that the original Kentucky Fried Chicken premises seen in the two pictures above was, for almost 100 years, a branch of Liverpool based Johnson Bros Dyers which later became Johnson’s Dry Cleaners.
