(For what its worth, its still more thaneverything he knows about Brandy.
The only reason I know Fact No.
3 is because he made it very clear in a December 2021 commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
If so, I worry for this boy!
Harlow was radio silent after this ad.
Notliterallyradio silent, but silent on the brand collab until KFC finally announced the Jack Harlow Meal in June.
Its cute the way he says it couldnt be just any meal and then it is exactly that.
KFC is a musty brand.
Its bucket-based serving sizes imply minivans.
Its mascot is literally an old man.
Only Sweetgreen wont put brown gravy on my order no matter how nicely I ask.
The year after it came out, Patton Oswaltroasted the Famous Bowlin a comedy special.
The one time I ordered it, I brought it to a co-workers birthday as a gag.
It was the last time I had set foot in a KFC, until this review.
These are establishments that, like thecelebrities in this column, generate a passionate reaction in their customers.
People project their identities onto them, tweeting in-jokes about dry biscuits and Sunday closures.
In 2015, it started stunt casting celebrities as its instantly identifiable mascot, Colonel Sanders.
In light of those ads, a plain old celebrity endorsement feels like a downgrade.
Couldnt they have put Harlow in a little white suit and goatee?
Assimilated him into the Colonel-Borg?
While it may be the largest of the chicken chains, its the runt of the Yum!
Which of these impulses would the Jack Harlow Meal trend toward?
The only way out of this quagmire was through my mouth.
The weekend before the promo launched, Harlow promoted the campaign by working a KFC drive-thru in Atlanta.
Fan accounts posted phone footage of Harlow leaning out the window, fielding requests, wearing a KFC uniform.
I walked down the block to the restaurant, and it was fresh out of theovenMars-colony-grade rehydrator.
The people who work and eat here deserve better than this!
In Australia,the KFCs have tasting menus.
The most unsettling thing was the smell.
I can rely on a McDonalds, Popeyes, or Cinnabon to smell better than it ultimately tastes.
Whats something you gotta have?
Dont think about it, the only answer is the KFC x Jack Harlow Meal.
The spicy-chicken sandwich is also a fairly recent edition, a veteran of the Chicken Sandwich Wars.
This is probably tied withMcDonalds BTS dipping saucesfor best graphic design.
Up until last year, KFC was a potato-wedge place.
Now theyre just another spud dud.
The mac n cheese is a first for a celebrity combo.
It was baby food for a Baby-Mans Meal.
So I was disappointed in the quality of the sandwich in the Harlow meal, which was simply un-delicious.
My roommate said it tasted dirty, and she didnt even see the hellhole from whence it came.
The only way to salvage any of it was to use the sides as sandwich toppings.
The mac lent the sandwich moisture and the sandwich gave the mac structure.
But that would go against Jack Harlows direct orders.
First Class dining this was not (this song is now the fourth thing I know about Harlow).
Also, this thing was $9.79.
As for KFCs potato wedges: Come home, the kids miss you.
