Kinda seems lame or maybe just premature to trot out an “I-told-you-so” to the Colonel when he hasn’t even had a chance to botch it up of his own devices. The whole Oprah’s Book Chicken Club “We-can’t-keep-up-with-the- coupons” disaster has taken the focus off the main point–Kentucky Grilled Chicken is a bad idea which wouldn’t [...]

Kentucky Grilled Chicken? Really?
OK, so you’ve got our attention. Free coupons downloadable on Oprah.com
But long term?
Moving to KFC seemed to work for a while. Made us forget what we were really eating–and then the nostalgia of the bucket kicked in… But it seems to me that if you’re going to go all healthy on us [...]

How cool is this? Not sure it makes we want to [...]

I’m really excited about this week’s Guest Blogger, one of our Top Marketing Bloggers, ’cause I wrote about B.L. in Step Into The Spotlight! (page 81) long before I ever “met” her online. Not sure what B.L. stands for (I hear the secret is guarded better than the Colonel’s 11 Secrets Spices), but I [...]
