You've seen him dressed as a maid and now see Colonel Sanders dressed up as a Samurai during the Golden Week holidays here in Tokyo.
Just curious but do they dress up Sanders in your region too?
His sword looks rather limp though ^^; May be he needs some 2D girl pics to help him straighten it out.

The view from Kentucky. I take a pic and then realized after that I snapped the "Chinko" from "Pachinko" - "Chinko" means "mans dolphin" in Japanese ^^;;;;;;
The Kentucky menu. While we are on the subject of food, JapanProbe reports on a disturbing subject...
The only bad experience that I remember is when I was at a Korean restaurant in Shin Okubo near Shinjuku. As I was rummaging around the dish, I found a lovely roasted cockroach...
have you been served something nasty or inedible before?
The main restaurant of scandal-hit upmarket chain Senba Kitcho, located in the city’s Chuo Ward, has been serving leftovers to customers almost on a daily basis for more than 20 years, sources close to the restaurant said.
The restaurant’s head chef admitted at a press conference on Friday that the restaurant had been using the leftovers of six dishes, such as sweetfish broiled with salt, since five or six years ago.
But the sources said the restaurant had actually been reusing a wider range of food items, including broiled fish and beef that had been left untouched by customers, by cooking them again and serving them sometimes in boxed meals.

A roach? EWWWWWWWWWW...
The worse I had was when I found half
a worm in a sandwich (guess it was in the tomatoes). The rest was in my mouth... (seconds later, in the ground D: )

You messed up. The worm was probably more nutritious than the rest of the sandwich. X=)>

Oh yeah! speaking of cockroaches in fastfood.. I remember having my first (and hopefully the last) encounter with one in a fastfood store... I was at Mcdonalds .. I ordered a Coke float .. cuz I want to win an ipod touch (theres a promo here in the phils) .. and after I drank all of it .. beneath all those coke .. was a cute little kid cockroach ~_~... hopefully I never drank the cockroach

I would visit fastfood restaurants so much more often if their mascots were dressed up like that. And nope, I can't say I've encountered any roaches with my meals at fastfood restaurants... yet. :O

Never seen a bug or something like that, though I have gotten a raw steak when I ordered well done. Most of the time resturants are great.

what you don't know won't hurt you. it's a different story when you open up a fruit and see worms. but then, better seeing whole worms than half eaten ones ^^

wish Colonel Sanders here dress up too. and yes I have found a lovely little insect in my food before when I eat out. usually they don't charge you; but I would not go back next time.
(ID #183763) Posted on 2008/05/08 23:58
Samurai Sanders = Somewhat cool. I don't think I ever came across nasty food... If I were to discover something like that... Wait. I found a baby slug in some fresh salad that I bought in a little supermarket. I took the leaf out and set the animal free (by throwing it outside, from the window to a little zone with soil). ... Guh.
(ID #183766) Posted on 2008/05/09 00:13
Note 1: It was a few years ago when I was still in France. Note 2: The slug was indeed alive. It was cute and all, but I decided to not make it a pet and returned it to nature (which I hope was clement enough to let it survive).
(ID #183793) Posted on 2008/05/09 01:03
Here the Colonel doesn't dress up. Though, I have to say it has been awhile since I had some extra crispy or original recipe.

I've always been suspicious of restaurants re-serving food, so anything I don't eat or touch I do go through the trouble of messing it up so that they just can't turn around and pass it off on someone else.

I, unfortunately, have been served bad food before: it was at one of those drive in burger joints. I remember when I was a kid I ordered their cheeseburger along with my family's order. However, once I got my meal and started biting into it, I bit something hard and crunchy. It tasted awful and it was tearing up my mouth so I spitted it out as soon as possible. I opened my burger to find a giant piece of dried wall paint sitting with my dressings. I called to my dad about this and we quickly got my burger replaced with a non-paint chip burger. It was bizarre indeed.
(ID #183803) Posted on 2008/05/09 01:40
Not really. The worst I can remember was piece of hair in a cake we bought ate the supermarket. Although with all the food scandals around here, I'm not surprised if I ate something nasty in the past with out knowing^^"
(ID #183806) Posted on 2008/05/09 01:46
have heard of travisties that happen in fast food resturants for all my life.. especially chicken places.. come to think of it.. police get even less service in our area.. they order food and the workers spit on it.. or mess it up in some other way.. thats sad though. does this happen in your area too?

I remember I got sick over two McDonalds burgers giving me very bad stomach flus. I'm trying to avoid McDonalds as much as possible but yesterday I had one of them Chicken Wraps with the meet being rock hard. Also had a mini Chinese restaurant near here giving me a bad stomach ache after finished eating. As for any plastic mascots nope don't see them much only in Downtown and even then they're hiding.

We don't see much of Col. Sanders at KFCs in USA now, let alone his plastic statue of any kind. I guess he's becoming a thing of the past.

A lot of folk just have the darndest luck with things, and my thing with luck is I have been fortunate to receive good food service throughout my years. I won't eat KFC anymore due to their treatment of chickens, and it is the same with the fast food industry as a whole. I ain't a veggy- God I love meat. But the sloppy way of work kind of irritates me, and the food is LOADED with preservatives so I avoid it at all costs. I will eat Subway ^^. It is delicious.

They don't put Sanders statues out around here. I don't even see Ronald McD figures anymore. I stoped eatting at KFC a while ago. One particular occation I was the only person in the whole resturant and my order took 20 mins! Plus I think their chicken has too much gristle in it. Never found out if it was true, but I've heard that KFC genetically modified their stock to produce 4 or 6 wings and other tasty parts. Yuck.

they prolls stopped putting statues out because of thieves and vandals. I remember when I was a teen, we usually did that until they started putting chains on them.

Never seen any colonel Sanders at a KFC in Paris. Nor in L.A too!! I guess this is typically japanese. By the way I've taste a KFC meal during my last trip in japan (only once the rest of the time I was in japanese restaurant) and it's definitely better in America or in France. maybe not enough spicy for me.

I will never look at pa"chinko slots" the same way again. We use to have mascots in front of KFC, but people kept defacing them so they disappeared. Guess he took off to Japan instead. .

You appreciate it more than the heart (so, one night stand?) XD Well, being from Brazil you bet I had my share of nasty stuff... including: Found salad beetles twice on burgers. Pieces of some blue plastic in the middle of a sausage. Tons of little maggots on a imported chocolate bar I almost bought in a supermarket... it's been expired for months. And that's only what I can remember of... I'm pretty shure I have more stories to tell.

Working at a restaurant when I was like 16, I was making salads and I decided to take a handful of cheese. I start to chew, and get a texture of something slightly "tougher" than cheese. I spit it out and discover to my horror that there had been a cigarette butt in the cheese I just ate. Also, I knew someone once whose son worked for a construction company that was union and had a union lunch wagon or whatever you want to call it. He, however, would bring his own drinks and such to work. Well I guess as a kind of retribution, when he ended up buying a half-gallon of iced tea from the union wagon one day, he got sick. He found out later that it was urinated in, and needless to say, since he lives in "the land of the bloated lawsuit", he's a very rich man now.

Maybe they should make all the Colonel Sanders in America dress up in some sort of military garb (world war, civil war, vietnam) I'm happy to report i haven't had the displeasure of eating anything in a restaurant. On the other hand I once bit into a raspberry tart that had a worm/bug in it when i was a kid. the sad thing was that it was my aunt who baked the tarts. i still love her cooking though.
