None of the products are anywhere close to what they used to be back when the Colonel was still in charge ... after he sold to Heublein, it didn't take them long to start making changes that would increase profitability ... the Colonel openly bemoaned the fact that the chickens were vastly undersized and the potatoes and gravy more closely resembled wallpaper paste (he really said that), they quickly squelched him, pointing out that they legally had him by the balls and that by contract, any public statement he made had to be positive ... after a word with his legal team, he went to riding in parades smiling and waving but making no more public statements ...
Subsequent owners have not improved things ... RJR, PepsiCo and now Yum Brands have done nothing to make things better ...
