TikToker Calls Out KFC Price Hikes: "More Expensive Than Cheesecake Factory

A TikToker went viral after "outing" the costs of Kentucky Fried Chicken meals, with some saying they price up to a sit-down eating place.

When you think of "fast food" what are the primary few phrases that pop into your head? For me it's a combination/variation of those three: "cheap, quick, and unhealthy."

And while there are more low-calorie options available at fast-food eating establishments than ever before, no one actually thinks that they are going to be securing "fine dining" from these spots, no matter how delicious the food could be.

And that's as a result of fast meals meals are most often friendlier to one's wallet (no less than within the non permanent) for the benefit that is provided each time you move to eat out.

With dollar menu foods, special promotions, you can get a large quantity of energy to your dollar while buying groceries at a fast-food spot.

Or at least that was once the case up till recent years. There were tons of news (and first-hand revel in) of folks who have been stunned at the amount of cash they need to spend for a few of their favorite fast-food menu pieces; that is because there may be been a gradual increase in the cost of fast food items.

A phenomenon that's been captured in a now-viral TikTok shared via a user who posts beneath the title @eyedealistic.don, aka Don C.

In the now-viral clip, Don shows the menu of a Kentucky Fried Chicken eating place as he incredulously comments on the costs the status quo is charging.

"I know I ain't tweakin'. But this s*** done got higher than a motherf****r," he quips within the video. "$57 for a 16 piece and 8 biscuits. I'm taking my b**** out to dinner, bro," Don continues.

Commenters have been simply as surprised as Don was on the costs the chain was once charging for his or her wares, some joked that they might much rather bust out their kitchenware and cook for themselves at home.

Others added that individuals will have to simply head over to their native Costco at dropping $4.99 for a complete Rotisserie rooster. It should be noted that the American-based mega retailer loses anywhere from $30-$40 million a year on the birds within the hopes of bringing shoppers into their institutions to spend money on products that earn the business higher margins.

There were some who mentioned that KFC has all the time been a "rip off" particularly when other chains like Wendy's nonetheless offer better deals, like Wendy's 4 for $4, which incorporates a cheeseburger, fries, rooster nuggets, and a drink. All for just 4 buckaroos.

Query Sprout surmises that a big reason KFC has greater its prices can have so much to do with the COVID-19 pandemic and provide chain issues throughout 2020.

The practice of providing low-price menu merchandise choices within the hopes of getting customers to purchase high-margin products has existed for a long time, then again.

It may well be that the items the TikToker are highlighting just cost more, however according to KFC's menu, the eating place nonetheless provides some affordable menu items, like Chicken Littles, and Popcorn Nuggets & Wedges.
