Both will be available starting May 4.The additions tap into a growing appetite for more distinctive flavors, especially when it comes to sauces. Honey Chili Crisp delivers a balance of sweetness and heat, while Jalapeño Ranch blends creamy ranch with cilantro and jalapeño for a fresh tasting, herb-forward kick.KFC is also tapping into the First Monday in May through a partnership with The Mark Hotel. After one of the hotel's guests reportedly requested hourly KFC refills throughout the day last year, the brand took things to the next level by bringing its signature chicken and new sauces back to the property for every star-studded guest to enjoy. The experience culminated in the ultimate expression of high-low indulgence: a feast of chicken and caviar.Fans at home can join in, too, by following KFC's social channels. If a "Colonel-coded" look hits the carpet on Monday, May 4 – from a white dinner jacket and black tie to an all-white ensemble or signature accessories like a cane or pocket square – KFC will unlock a limited-time promo of 50% off a 12-piece chicken-only bucket ****.From The Mark to the dinner table, KFC is bringing a little more flavor—and a lot more flexibility, with unbeatable $10 value all week long.* Prices and participation vary, while supplies last.

KFC® Drops Their First Single, "Finger Lickin' Machine"April 6, 2026 12:56 PM
PR Newswire (US)

 The track takes on a life of its own across social and streaming PLANO, Texas, April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jingles had a good run. Now, KFC is doing something different. 



Today, KFC is dropping a new contender for the season's hottest track, "Finger Lickin' Machine" — a real single, not just a catchy ad hook. Built to stream, replay and live on repeat, the track is designed to show up across social feeds and sound-on moments. It is rolling out across social and streaming platforms, including on Spotify. At its core, "Finger Lickin' Machine" taps into a familiar feeling: that moment when you open your food and realize you got more than you expected. That same energy shows up in KFC's new Box Feasts, which debuted as part of the Value Feast menu. Available for $7, $9 and $11*, Box Feasts deliver chicken on chicken, with a craveable, complete meal in every box. Across the song and the spot, the Colonel doesn't just introduce the meal, he steps into the music. The performance is brought to life by choreography from Rich + Tone Talauega, the duo behind some of the most recognizable moments across music and pop culture, giving it the feel of something you'd stop mid-scroll for. KFC is also releasing a :90 extended cut that plays like a music video.    Taking the drop into the real world, the Colonel is hitting the streets of Los Angeles, surprising creators with limited-edition physical copies of the single alongside Box Feasts and turning the moment into something fans can experience firsthand. LA, keep your eyes open—you never know where he might pop up next. From social feeds to streaming platforms to IRL drops, KFC moves beyond the fast-food playbook, turning a campaign into something fans can hear, share and experience. Finger Lickin' Machine Song Credits?

PR Newswire (US)

 Introducing Box Feasts starting at $7*, a new lineup built to deliver more chicken across every budget — even if it sounds unreasonablePLANO, Texas, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KFC is flipping the script, giving people more of what they love, all for less. With the introduction of its Value Feast lineup, the brand is redefining value as more than just price, delivering an abundance you can actually see, without compromising on the taste and quality KFC is known for. 



At the heart of the Value Feast lineup are Box Feasts, three boxes packed with KFC boneless favorites to satisfy any appetite. Why Now: Meeting the Moment on Value 
As everyday costs continue to rise, how people think about value is changing. KFC is meeting that shift with Value Feast. "At the end of the day, people just want a meal that feels like it delivers," said Melissa Cash, Chief Marketing Officer, KFC U.S. "What we're seeing is that people still expect their meal to feel complete, satisfying and abundant, and that's where Value Feast stands apart, delivering a full box with an irrational amount of chicken for the price." The Box Feasts: Built for the Solo Max MoveKFC's new Box Feasts come in a range of price points**, each offering a complete meal in one box: $7 Box Feast: 1 KFC Snacker, 5pc Nuggets, 3oz Fries, Medium Drink$9 Box Feast: 2 KFC Snackers, 5pc Nuggets, 3oz Fries, Medium Drink$11 Box Feast: 1 Chicken Sandwich, 2 Tenders, 3oz Fries, Medium DrinkThe Snacker is made with a mini brioche bun, one hot and crispy tender, mayo and pickles. Guests can remix their Snacker with spicy mayo, coleslaw, or both.*** From quick meals between busy moments to more relaxed nights in, Value Feast fits into everyday routines, taking the guesswork out of deciding what to eat next. A Campaign Built on an Irrational Amount of Chicken for the Price To support the launch of its value lineup, KFC is introducing a new campaign inspired by a simple truth: when you get food you're genuinely excited about, you can't help but celebrate a little. In the new spot, the Colonel introduces Box Feasts and can't help but break into a full-on dance as the music kicks in, turning that feeling of getting a full, satisfying meal into something you can actually see play out. It brings to life that familiar reaction when the food hits and you just know you made the right call. Together, it reinforces what Value Feast is all about: a meal that doesn't just deliver on value but feels like a win the moment you open the box. *Prices and participation may vary, while supplies last. Prices higher in AK, HI, CA and third-party ordering websites. Tax, tip and fees extra.

$YUM - Pizza Hut's book club promotes drag queen books to pre-K children

https://www.theblaze.com/news/pizza-hut-book-club-drag-queens
Pizza Hut is owned by Yum! Brands – a Louisville-based restaurant conglomerate that operates more than 54,000 restaurants in over 155 countries and territories. Yum! Brands also owns KFC and Taco Bell.

Taco Bell is hosting multiple "Drag Brunch" events at restaurants around the U.S. this summer.

In 2021, Yum! Brands CEO David Gibbs told the Wall Street Journal, "We're excited about working with the Biden administration and share their goal to build back better particularly as it comes to the economy and fighting inequality."

Them broke rats won't be able to afford food with minimum wage that high!

I take it back, they suspended business in russia.

Good on you $YUM! Well done!

YUM is still feeding authoritarian russia. Feeding a country that is killing innocent civilians, and freedom.

KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut are disgusting. Filthy trash.

Short this pile of shit.

Don't eat with filth.

Toss this company in the dumpster and light it!

Their business model is broken as their labor costs make their products uneconomical!

Who's the next where's the beef lady?

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/10/pizza-hut-to-offer-beyond-meats-meatless-pepperoni-in-five-markets-.html

This is a short due to policy changes that have increased prices beyond what people are willing/able to pay for these products.

That, or you might be over weight and looove the old menu so much that you’re going to...eat?

Yum Brands $YUM Don't Look So Yummy After Earnings, Know This Trade Level

This morning, leading restaurant stock, Yum Brands Inc (NYSE:YUM) reported earnings. Unfortunately, the stock is plunging lower by more than 5.0 percent to $81.79 a share. Traders should note that the stock is now trading sharply below the important 50-day moving. There will be some short term chart support around the $80.00 area which is around the 200-day moving average. The better support level will still be lower, likely around the $76.00 level. This area is where the stock was defended in February 2018 before surging to new highs. Very often, major pivots will serve as excellent support levels when retested. My best bet for a long side trade in YUM will be around the $76.00 level.

Yum Brands Inc Is Not Looking Tasty Yet, Know This Trade Level

One of the leading restaurant stocks in the market is Yum Brands Inc (NYSE:YUM). Yum Brands operates the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants. Today, YUM stock is declining lower by $1.65 to $77.66 a share. Traders should note that the stock was defended at its 200-day moving average last week. Should YUM stock trade and close below this important 200-day moving average at $76.72 it would likely signal another leg lower in the stock.

The next major support level for YUM stock would be around the $72.80 level. This level was major support in late September 2017 and will likely serve as support again if retested. This price area would be where I would look to step into the stock on the long side. YUM stock is now on my radar.

Taco Bell does advertising RIGHT!! A great company to own, nothing has ever been seen quite like it. LONG YUM. Yummy profits tacos and burgers

What are we looking at closing by Friday? What are your thoughts?

Yum!

You git ya shares buzzin,?

When do owners of YUM shares have to hold to in order to receive YUM China shares? Is it October 19th the record date or November 1st the date of distribution?

YUM and YUMC will both double after split !

Miss, but not by much. Plummeting in AH. I'll be waiting at the bottom.

Really like YUM Brand's assets but wish it weren't trading at such a high valuation.

Think underlying fair value is closer to $85 via this 5-year DCF
