Here's my feeling: if that's the negative to this job, I am still hundreds of miles ahead of where I was six months ago. I will take that tradeoff in a heartbeat.

"When Henderson came back in crying, because holy shit, her son might've just inadvertently put something that was used to clean the goddamn floor in his mouth, the KFC employees told her she had to contact customer service — which was apparently incredibly unresponsive. I suppose at least it's reassuring to know…

3rd paragraph, 3rd sentence. Did you forget to read the whole article before commenting?

I had the opposite experience. As the youngest of five, I just about never got fast food because it was too expensive. As an unfortunate result, all fast food tastes like the most delicious of sins as an adult. I am helpless before the power of a KFC original bucket.

What the fuck are you talking about? KFC chicken may be many things, including deep-fried garbage, but terrible-tasting it is not. ELEVENTY HERBS (pronounce the H in this case, natch) AND SPICES, BITCHES!!!!!

I thought it was one of those oddly-spongey wipes used for cleaning? Those are the blue ones I'm familiar with, and yes, it was definitely a paper towel.

Reading the last paragraph isn't the same thing as reading the whole article, sport.

I wish, wish, WISH I could've led this with the image through the link, but that wasn't available through our image services and I feel like the Daily Mail would have a large and carnivorous team of lawyers.

Sorry, are you saying this story is hearsay? Aside from, y'know, the public statements from KFC itself, and the multiple news sources covering it? This isn't some viral thing like the other KFC story — KFC conducted an internal investigation to determine whether this was true, and came to the conclusion that it was.

In KFC's defense, it was a free range towel.

Funniest thing to throw in a fryer are definitely whole raw eggs. They explode. Dangerously.

As a UK resident, I'd like to clarify that it wasn't a cloth towel, but a paper towel. It's referred to as blue roll, because it's a roll of cheap blue paper used for cleaning. The Daily Mail image shows that it is blue roll as well. (And also, thanks no thanks for making me go to the Daily Fail. But this story does…

What's everyone's problem? It has HYGIENIC right in the name?

I once hailed a cab to take me through the McDonald's drive-thru because they wouldn't let me walk up. No judgment here.

I want fast food sooooooo bad, but that would require taking a cab, which is a weird thing to do for 5 dollars worth of junk food.

I believe this %100 because in high school I had several friends that worked in fast food. They never fucked with anything, but they had all kind of stories. A popular thing to do was throw stuff in the fryer, and when I say stuff I mean whatever they thought would be funny, and yes. Towels were on that list.…

The whole "free meal" thing always cracks me up. I mean, really? They're never coming back, you idiots.

Well now I want KFC for lunch.
