Brands appealing to consumers on social media is nothing new. Fast food chains Wendy's and Denny's have both received a lot of attention for bringing spicy roasts and absurd memes to the masses. Though we appreciate their efforts (especially Denny's puzzling Instagram feed), we can't help but realize we're eating up their social media strategy like hungry wolves. As professional consumers of content, we prefer a little nuance where brand pandering is concerned. That's why we've fallen in love with the absolutely unhinged humor that @KFC_ES has been serving up on Twitter.

While the KFC Spain Twitter account has been serving up memes for quite a while, over the last couple weeks they seem to have upped the shitpost ante with highly cursed images and memes that only a seasoned shitposter could appreciate. Best of all? They're not just pretending to reach a specific audience. Tired of the way brands do the "fellow kids" thing on social media, KFC Spain wants to do things differently. We spoke with one of their community managers, who revealed that they're just trying to use Twitter as a "regular shitposter" to join the conversation instead of forcing anything. Judging by the insane engagement they've been receiving, they're definitely doing things right. We've put some of their latest and greatest work in this gallery, but you should probably go ahead and follow the account for more cursed goodness. Whatever they churn out will be anything but boring.

The whole "white people don't season their food" thing sometimes feels offensive to those of us who lack melanin and worship the spice cabinet, but this Twitter story is proof that the stereotype exists for good reason. Twitter user @cavebeauty experienced the horror first-hand at a company potluck when her colleague brought raw chicken and a deep fryer to the event. Not only did he decline seasoning the chicken before frying it, but he was handling the chicken with his bare hands and touching stuff without washing them. Disturbing. Hopefully you'll read this nightmare long after digging into lunch. 

In case you haven't heard about the Great Sandwich War of 2019...well, it's a thing. Because apparently that's what's important in people's lives right now. Not, you know, the fact that the Amazon Rain Forest is burning down, or the political turmoil happening throughout the world. Nope, it's the chicken sandwiches that matter.

Anyway, have a lovely day and enjoy these memes about fried chicken sandwiches! Or whatever! Who cares!

Have you ever seen America this divided over something? Aside from the 2016 presidential elections, we think not. 

Popeyes and Chick-fil-A came out with a new fried chicken sandwich at the same time and it's created quite the heated debate on Twitter under the hashtag "chicken wars." Even Twitter troll-master Wendy's has gotten in on the roasting, which is a surprise to absolutely no one.

It seems that Twitter has already chosen Popeyes as the winner, but of course you'll have to make the call on your own once you try both!

You know what, birds (more affectionately known as birbs in the meme world) really don't get enough credit - it's generally cats and dogs that have our attention. But when we think about it, half of our favorite memes involve birds doing something ridiculous, so today we're sharing 13 birb memes that'll make you screm so loud.
