KFC has filed a lawsuit against Church’s Texas Chicken for trademark infringement, claiming their competitor’s use of the phrase “Original Recipe” in advertising dilutes KFC’s iconic branding. The lawsuit, filed in a Texas federal court, argues that Church’s recent adoption of the phrase, which KFC has used for over 50 years, is likely to confuse consumers and damage KFC’s brand identity. KFC asserts its “Original Recipe” trademark is a crucial part of its brand and a closely guarded secret, emphasizing the importance of protecting its intellectual property and customer experience.

Russians still enjoying American burgers and sandwiches as companies refuse to leave.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and the West has put several American fast-food chains under scrutiny. Subway, Carl’s Jr., Burger King, Papa John’s, Costa Coffee, and TGI Friday’s are still operating in Russia, despite growing tensions. The parent companies of these franchises claim that they have limited control over the brands’ activities in the country, as they are operated independently by master franchisees. This raises questions about the ethical responsibility of these companies in supporting the Russian market.
The continued presence of American fast-food chains in Russia has sparked debates about the role of corporations in global politics.… Continue reading
I have always been amazed by unique individuals who set records or achieve incredible feats in their lifetimes. One such individual that has recently caught my attention is a man from the US who has managed to extend his record for the most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime to over 34,000.

This level of dedication and commitment to a single food item is truly astounding.
While some may question his dietary choices and health implications of consuming so many Big Macs, I can’t help but admire his dedication.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the latest news about Wendy’s considering surge pricing at their restaurants, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment and frustration. The idea of paying more for a fast-food meal just because there’s a longer line or higher demand goes against the very essence of what fast food is supposed to be – quick, convenient, and affordable.
The thought of being charged extra for simply waiting longer for my food seems absurd. It’s as if Wendy’s is punishing their customers for wanting to eat at their establishment during peak hours. And let’s not forget about the impact this will have on the hardworking, underpaid staff.… Continue reading
McDonald’s stock price has experienced a drop following the CEO’s promise to focus on affordability during the latest earnings call. As an individual with my own insights and opinions, I can’t help but reflect on this news and express my thoughts on the matter.
First and foremost, it’s frustrating to see McDonald’s wasting their time with these “designer meals.” These meals are essentially the same food with a fancy label and a 20% price hike. I mean, come on! The Filet-o-Fish has become so small that it might as well be called a Slider. It truly feels like McDonald’s has recently moved away from affordability, only to now crawl back to it.… Continue reading
