Out of all the marketing that the colonel didn't like it seems like the current campaign would have been one he was OK with seeing as he was still alive and well when the Japanese statues of him came out. What he hated was how they destroyed the taste of his chicken and sides which have continued to become crap over the years. MBAs have made sure KFC will never be as good as Popeyes.

While far superior to KFC, Popeyes has second tier chicken. It wasn't Popeyes that killed KFC as a business, it was Chick-fil-A, which has conquered the chicken fast food market in the US and will continue to bury everyone else. They have far better chicken than Popeyes.

Have you tried the new Popeyes chicken sandwich? In my opinion the spicy version is the single best item of fast food on the market today. The quality of the chicken is superior.

The chicken is and when compared directly to the Chick-Fil-A equivalent its definitely better.

But I never ordered the Chick-Fil-A equivalent. After the initial time trying it, I don't get whats all that enjoyable about a sandwich that is just bread, chicken, and a couple pickles. Once Popeye's gets lettuce, tomato, and cheese then I may have no reason to ever go to Chick-Fil-A

They’re not exactly the same market—Chick-Fil-A is chicken sandwiches which Popeye’s didn’t have until recently, and I don’t know if KFC ever did. And Popeye’s and KFC sell fried chicken pieces, which Chick-Fil-A doesn’t. When I’m in the mood for fried chicken, I’m usually not after a sandwich.

And I’ll agree that Chick-Fil-A is good, but I think their biggest selling point is their customer service, not their chicken.
