Normally I cannot stand KFC chicken but the significant other and her sister wanted the Dale Jr collectable bucket. Well... I had to admit that the thought of a used greasy chicken bucket decorating my living room sounded quite appealing.

The trip to KFC itself was uneventful. I pulled up to the drive through and read the details over the "Dale Jr." meal. I ordered the meal and picked out my side items as per the menu.



Well much to my suprise, when I received my bucket of greasy chicken and my side items, guess who was on the side of my chicken bucket? It sure as hell wasn't Dale Jr. It was Colonel f'n Sanders!!!



I'm so PO's right now I could tear someone's beating heart out right now with a decorative china gravey boat. I suffered through a bucket of grease laden chicken to get a Dale Jr collectable bucket... and I get stiffed on the bucket.

I thought it’d be funny too picturing some NASCAR fan proudly displaying their greasy bucket on their shelf in their trailer! LOL! Do you know why there are so many KFCs in America? Because if you have too far the bottom of the bucket gives out from the grease by the time you get home. They have an average half-life of 10.7 miles. LOL!

BTW- If Michael Waltrip gets a top 10 on Sunday the next day you can order the Waltrip Special and get $5 off any pizza. Just FYI.

Thanks for the trip report! I will stay away from the bucket-o-greasy-chicken.

I sure do love that popcorn chicken!

Do you always take pictures of the drive-thru menuboard?

You should write a letter of complaint or call their 1-800 customer service number. Interesting to see what their response would be. You just might get more free greasy chicken out of the deal.

Hell you might have lucked out. Call to complain and get them to send you an unused non-greasy Dale Jr. bucket. And Jeff Gordon has won the last two plate races so who wants a Dale Jr. bucket anyhow?

Collectable chicken bucket???

Is it also "Atkins Friendly"??

no, in the commercial there's a girl wearing a shirt that says "I'm on the Dale Jr. diet"...as opposed to the Atkins Diet. i guess that means she eats only Dale Jr!

What about the free Pepsi?

DW announced that Pepsi would give free Pepsi to America if Jeff Gordon won. Some kind of new Pepsi with less sugar.

Upon receiving the bag and clearly seeing that I was not receiving a Dale Jr bucket, I mentioned this to the lady at the drive through window.

"Where is my collectable Dale Jr Bucket!?!?"

The nice lady at the drive through said "We dun sold out of em."

Who's to argue with what?

For those of you wanting a bucket without the pains of going to a KFC and actually purchasing their grease blob with a chicken bone stuck in the middle, you can go here and buy one from Ebay.
