According to CNN Business, KFC has decided to put a hold on their famous 64-year-old slogan “it’s finger lickin’ good”. The global chief marketing officer at KFC, Catherine Tan-Gillespie said, “we find ourselves in a unique situation – having an iconic slogan that doesn't quite fit in the current environment.”
The company has used a video to announce this temporary change. The slogan will be used again once the time is right but nothing else is going to change, the food is going to remain the same.
