KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is an American chain of fried chicken fast food restaurants and the world's largest of its kind. It was founded in 1952 by Colonel Sanders.

The KFC commercial.

In 1993, a commercial, featuring The Simpsons, was made for a special sale where a two litre bottle of 7 Up was free with a 15-piece chicken bucket, available only in Canada. In the same year, another special offer was made and promoted in another commercial featuring Homer and Mr. Burns. Customers who bought popcorn chicken combos would receive a collector's cup which had a Simpsons character's face and catchphrase printed front to back (also only available in Canada).
