Me too! I spent Christmas there many years ago, and every person I talked to asked:

1. Are you going back home for Christmas?

2. No? Oh are you going to get a Christmas cake from KFC?

I was like, Christmas cake? And why KFC specifically? My confusion confused them just as much. Maybe they later thought it was because I was Canadian so it must just be an American thing.

The reverse version of this is pretty sobering: Japanese or Chinese person makes it to Canada, and excitedly goes to the nearest KFC or McDonald's, and gets culture shock from how run-down it is. Especially if they're downtown in a big city.

It makes you want to drive them two hours out to a small-town fast-food restaurant to show them that indeed, a clean and tidy KFC/McDonald's does exist somewhere in America.

KFC in China tastes better than ones in America, probably just my taste.

It has always tasted the same to me, once you'd scraped off the double dollop of mayo they seem to put on the Chinese version of everything.

It even had spring rolls and porridge when I was there.
