"Yep, just like KFC is no longer "Kentucky Fried Chicken" - it's just KFC."
The very first words at KFC.com are "Kentucky Fried Chicken"
Doing a text search on the home page says Kentucky shows up two more times.
- hammock 11y agoFrom 1991 to 2006, it was just KFC. http://www.snopes.com/lost/kfc.asp http://www.snopes.com/lost/kfc.asp

While Kentucky Fried Chicken did change its name, it wasn't for the reasons given in that account.
- hammock 11y agoThanks for that. I did already know firsthand that KFC had changed its name for a time. I found a source (Snopes) that confirmed it. Internally I was skeptical of the reasoning that was provided (since it conflicted with what I knew from more reliable sources), but the actual reasoning was tangential to my point
