Because these foods are not very in line with Chinese people’s eating habits, the portions are not very large, and the prices are relatively expensive, so they have a poor reputation. KFC is a brand owned by foreigners. In recent years, KFC has spread all over China. In order to cater to China, it has incorporated many Chinese elements, such as various breakfast snacks, which KFC originally did not have.
Mashed potatoes are included in KFC’s set meals and are sold together with other foods as set meals. I think the taste of mashed potatoes is average, but without the sauce it would be terrible. In addition, the portion of mashed potatoes is very small, but the price is relatively high, so it is not so cost-effective. The price of corn on the cob is also quite high. I think the taste of creamed corn on the cob is quite bad. Less than one corn on the cob costs eight yuan. Moreover, KFC also likes to sell this kind of food together with the Family Bucket set meal.
The Coke in KFC is also very expensive. A small cup of Coke costs seven yuan, while the bottled Coke we buy in the store only costs three yuan, and the amount is relatively large. When many people order food in KFC, they don't order Coke separately. Therefore, KFC likes to put Coke with the set meal. Coke appears in most of the set meals.
The hibiscus vegetable soup is not much different from the instant soup in the supermarket, and it has a strong MSG taste. The hibiscus vegetable soup feels like a soup made from seasoning packets and is simply added to the set meal for sale. Therefore, these items from KFC are really not cost-effective. The price is high and the taste is bad. People feel regretful about buying them after eating them. Therefore, they are always included in the set meals and people cannot help but buy them.
