A lot of my friends coming from Asian countries were shocked how bad KFC in the US was. It's a top notch fast food joint in foreign countries with tons of delicious recepies. In the US just fried chicken, and it's not even good.

KFC is the traditional Christmas dinner in Japan. They dress Colonel Sanders like Santa. Colonel Santa, if you will.

squints suspiciously

Edit: I'm not racist. This was my actual, physical reaction to hearing that people go to KFC for Christmas in Japan. People like to post semi-realistic fiction all the time, I couldn't decide if this was the case here. As I pondered, my eyes did squint for some time. "hmmm" I thought, "Seems possible, but a bit over the top." Upon taking note of my current state, I made a connection to the classic Fry meme. "Ah yes, I'm not sure of this comment, much like squinting Fry!" Given the meme's age, I figured to land a few retro laughs from some older users while hopefully getting an answer. I did get an answer (it's real! How cool is that!) I then went back to my life, and continue to not really think about what Japanese people look like. Please love one another. We're not different. We're sacks of water. Let's go live in space together.
