Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

The Trenton Shitty Garbage?

Yet Musk will happily give away a share of what little ad revenue x still gets to people like Andrew Tate.

Why yes, the ironically named City Gardens located in scenic Trenton, NJ.

Apparently it’s also a way to get Republican voters to get you into the White House once.

Hey, it seems to work for Kentucky Fried Chicken KFC.

I’m going to disagree with the KFC point - most of the people I knew were calling it that long before that became the ‘official’ name. Just because it was faster to say.

I’m not saying it’s a good choice, but it is different from taking Twitter, with a unique name and terminology, and dropping all of it for something quite out of the blue (heh).

KFC is different. Besides the above-mentioned point that everybody was calling it that anyway, the change was a deliberate attempt to remove the “fried” connotation from the name, due to perceptions about health. It’s still unhealthy as all hell, but at least now it doesn’t tell you that in the name.

“X” is just ridiculous nonsense that heavily undermines the brand.

It wouldn’t be a terrible initial (I crack me up!) name. But there is a lot of brand equity in the name and branding of Twitter and theoretically that might justify goodwill and a competent businessman paying forty-four million American dollars for it.

They also started selling grilled chicken (which I think tastes a lot better than their fried chicken).

Maybe he will call it TwiX,…

.
…“Two for me. None for you!” - (What Elon’s motto really is…)

Especially if he does so a thousand times.

That too. I quoted its current value? I hate it when I am out of order…

Musk reminds me of the Roman emperor Commodus, known for his megalomania.

Does this behavior sound familiar?

Like Musk, Commodus wanted to fight in the Colosseum in Rome, although, unlike Musk, he actually did.

What! That never happens.

Then they got rid of the grilled chicken and replaced it with a sandwich where the fried chicken was the bun.

No they didn’t, the “Double Down” was released in 2010 and discontinued in 2014, it hasn’t been around for almost a decade. Though it was released for a limited time earlier this year.

The grilled chicken was introduced a year before the Double Down and has never left the menu. You can still get it, it’s a permanent option alongside the original recipe and extra crispy. (There is also a newer “spicy” chicken option, but I don’t know if that’s a permanent item.)

Not around here it isn’t. I just checked the KFC website and the Doordash page for a KFC in my area and neither list grilled chicken as an option.

They’re still on the menu here, they never left.

Well, since this is now the KFC thread :wink: … I haven’t been to KFC in years, but I checked the menu, and around here they have buckets, boxes, combos, sandwiches, wraps, and even “plant-based” sandwiches and wraps – but nothing that says “grilled” to distinguish it from “fried”. Just to add a data point, is all.

If anyone wants to hijack this KFC thread to say something about Elmo and Twitter, please feel free. :slight_smile:

Elon Musk the kind of guy to buy KFC just to put grilled chicken back ok the menu.

Like that?
