Cecil and Bugs Bunny - Interesting stuff.

I am a cartoon historian myself, esp the cartoons that were made by the major movie studios like Bugs and gang, Tom and Jerry, Pink Panther, Woody Woodpecker, etc. television made cartoons are cheap particularly the ones made for Saturday mornings back in the 1960s and 1970s like Scooby Doo, etc.

The movie studio cartoons are what inspired the best comedians in this country, I got a funny sense of humor myself and showed it on Topix for years, I have heard every insult known to man, I expect it and it does not faze me because I can bite back, so to speak. I do not run to mods I like to defend myself and I do not play victim nor cry that I have no rights, that was ridiculous reading I seen earlier elsewhere. I was not a favorite among mods, used to get red letter warnings from mods all the time...

Yeah, the old cartons are the best. Todays stuff has alot of junk in it.

Bugs Bunny is the biggest star and money maker in Warner Bros history to this date, real or imagined...

1968, 4 years old by your post. It was fairly new then, the franchise we are all familiar with today. I never heard of them before. There were none in the northeast.

No, it wasn't.  It had been around longer than that.  It also at one time was associated with Wendy's and Dave Thomas who owned several restaurants. They moved the headquarters from Corbin where it started to Shelbyville and now has an office headquarter in Louisville and Delaware.
Plus the franchise is now the YUM brand since that is who it was sold too. They should change the name but won't.

After researching it, you're right.

Maybe next time you should research before you post. It isn't that hard to do especially when in doubt.

There it is. Lib snarkyism. I was thinking of KFC stores that were exclusively KFC and not KFC chicken sold in restaurants that sold other items. But, the name Kentucky Fried Chicken had been used in those restaurants.

Lib snarkyism? Hahaha, you have absolutely no clue as usual. You made the statement and when you got called out you want to come up with this claim. By the way, it was only in the past 20 or so years that KFC is and was sold in other restaurants such as KFC and Taco Bell or KFC and Long John Silvers. In some countries and some places in the U.S. KFC still stands alone and not with other restaurants.
I have never mentioned what my political beliefs are but you just assume that I am a lib so you are making an ass out of yourself for assuming. I haven't liked some things that Trump.has done same as I didn't like some things that Reagan, Bush's,  Carter, Clinton or Obama has done.
You should just admit that you didn't know or have a clue.

Not really. KFC didn't own their own stores until 1964. The KFCs in the movie Goldfinger Weepy mentioned were located in Joe'sDrive-in and another restaurant with the sign fried chicken Col. Sander's recipe. Both in Miami. Researched that also.

Long John Silvers are still around?

Who was the last conservative type you voted for?

I voted for an independent in the last election, I wasn't crazy about Sanders or Trump even though I knew that was a wasted vote but better than not voting at all.
Again KFC had the first franchise start in Utah in the 1950's and then several more opened. Just as it is in most places, franchises get started and go from there.
Yes Long John Silvers are still around although many are called A & W restaurants.

OK, the name remains a mystery.

Franchises were sold. You're right about that, but KFC didn't have their own stores until Sander's right was bought in 1964.  That is what was new in 1968. 

Do they still have a Jack In the Box where you are? A&W? That's nostalgic. Was that a Dog 'n Suds back in the day? Stewarts still around?   

I wouldn't know about Jack in the Box or Stewart's as we don't have those in our area of Kentucky or if they were ever here they have long gone out.
Again when the franchises were bought they were bought as a  KFC,  why is that hard for you to understand? It would be the same if I bought into a Dairy Queen or Little Ceasar, you are buying a restaurant and using that name. KFC was sold in 1960's to John Y. Brown and he then ran it for a while. Almost all restaurants are a franchise with a person buying and using that name. Obviously it was a new concept to you as most of the KFC'S around here have been here longer than I have and long before 1964, according to one of the managers of the one that a friend's son works at. They just remodeled it because it was desperately needed.

Jack in the Box was a big deal in California when I was out there in the 1980s , they exist all over North Carolina today and have since like 2001...

LMAO, you're arguing about Colonel Sanders with someone who actually knew him.

BTW when I was traveling throughout KY and the rest of Appalachia, I actually stopped in the original Sanders store and it wasn't much to look at.

So the correct answer is that there were two KFC's, the Sanders KFC and the John Y Brown KFC which eventually included the actual Harland Sanders, it's a long and complicated story because hillbilly's are involved. This stuff can be googled__no reason to get it wrong.

Yep and now they have made the one in Corbin, Ky that Sanders started as a museum and I think a hotel or it was a hotel at one time. It isn't much and I wouldn't waste my time going to it.
Yep, John Y. Brown made KFC famous after he bought it and then he sold it, I am not sure if that is when the YUM brand bought it or not.
