Colonel Sanders, founder of KFC. Born in 1890, the colonel's life is full of American success stories.

This has always been a popular product, and it took the colonel ten years to prepare it before he got a finger-sucking aftertaste. When the colonel was 66 years old, he drove his old Ford car 1946, carrying his eleven unique ingredients and his right-hand man pressure cooker, and started on the road.
