Are Comprehension Rulez!

Not only can you get an entire week's worth of sodium in one meal at this KFC/Taco Bell at Irving Park and California, but they also kindly provide a "what's wrong with this picture" game on their signage. How cool of them!

What the hell is a "Newbig Beii Bo"?

 

Our all-time favorite incomprehensible sign, displayed proudly for months at the Ridge and Devon McDonalds:

BRATS AND
ELECTION ARE
HERE BEARS

 

I think they mean New Big Bell B.O. WTF???

 

The last two times we've tried to go to the KFC at Cicero and Addison, they've been out of both chicken breasts AND mashed potatoes. Boo!

 

KFC mashed potatoes our wicked good.

 

You know those PBS children's things called Bee-Bo's or something. Maybe they're selling Bee-Bo Meat. It's probably higher quality than what you usually get at Taco Bell.

 

@widdly -- those would be Boobahs, and, my guess its no, the quality of Boobah meat is probably about the same grade as cat. But, Teletubbie meat, THAT might be worth investigating. Or, maybe that Barney character -- might be too gamey, though.

 

I blame text messaging for this.

 

I made an emergency stop here for the bf last night. They were all out of any chicken item that includes fried chicken. Perhaps this is what they are selling instead?

 

Bo knows newbig be11?

One my favorite signs was at a gas station back home. "LIVE BAIT HEAR"

 

They're missing an X along with a whole word because it's supposed to say Big Bell Box Meal.

 

Saw this last month. This Taco Bell makes you pull all the way through and park in the parking lot when going through the drive through so their 'delivery times' are quicker and they get a higher ranking.

 

@ Wes:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

 

How can a KFC be out of chicken? Isn't that its entire purpose?

 

Can the next president PLEASE do a powerpoint on "apostophizing" plural nouns as a lead in to his/her state of the union address???
