Why? Well, due to the pandemic, Finger Lickin\u2019 Good probably become the most inappropriate slogan in the world.<\/p>\n<p>So, as we await the epic return of their iconic slogan, here in South Africa, we decided to spread our wings and try on a few others for size. But we want to make one thing clear: while our decision to \u2018try on\u2019 these slogans may come as a surprise; we\u2019re just having a little fun and have nothing but respect for the brands featured. After all, would we be using their slogans if we didn\u2019t like them?<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, we\u2019ll only be using the slogans for 48 hours. After all, nothing can really replace ours \u2013 a slogan we simply can\u2019t wait to bring it back, just when the time is right.<\/p>\n<p>Says Suhayl Limbada, Marketing Director at KFC South Africa: \u201cPausing the use of our beloved slogan in South Africa was not easy \u2013 especially ahead of our 50th birthday celebrations this year as it\u2019s such an iconic part of our brand. But it was the right thing to do. We can\u2019t wait to be reunited with our slogan but in the meantime, we hope the teams at Red Bull, Coca-Cola, Simba, MTN, Engen, Vodacom and OUTsurance to name a few, don\u2019t mind if we try on their slogans for the next 48 hours \u2013 we promise we\u2019ll give them back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the moment the pandemic began, ensuring KFC restaurants were able to operate responsibly has been our number one priority \u2013 taking into account specific conditions in countries around the world and making decisions accordingly. The same goes for the continued decision to pause the use of \u2018It\u2019s Finger Lickin\u2019 Good in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>We know it won\u2019t be forever, and it\u2019s going to make an almighty comeback one day, hold tight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/kfc-we-thought-we-should-just-do-it\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 64 long and beautiful years, we decided to pause the use of our iconic slogan in 2020.
