ThailandBert Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 For around the last 8 months or more now I have been buying what I thought were KFC branded eggs and other chicken products. I have no complaints about the quality of anything I have bought and the the last pack of extra large eggs gave me a double yolk in every egg. I wonder what the odds for that are ? Today in Tesco I picked up a packet of KFC egg sausages. Something I had never seen before nor heard of. It was only when I was looking closer at the package to see if there was anything on there to give me a further clue as to just what an egg sausage was I noticed that it wasn't in fact a KFC product but rather a KCF product. The exact same colour and type font used by KFC and upon a quick glance it has fooled me for months. When I checked the extra large eggs I like they were again KCF. This isn't a rant nor complaint but rather an acknowledgement of a well designed package that has I presume done exactly what it was designed to do without breaking the law. Well done that man / woman ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattler Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Theres an awful lot of stuff Ive seen like that in Thailand, law seems to be pretty lax on it. Berger Paint and Beger Paint always confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trembly Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Look at the ammount of variations of 7/11 with very similar signs and colours!! The best one I've seen was a 71 in Chiang Rai. Seventy One in Thai is Jed-Sib-Ed Seven in Thai is Jed Eleven in Thai is Sib-Ed Seventy in Thai is Jed-Sib Brilliant! It's also decked out in green and orange that is slightly off of the 7-11 shades.

ThailandBert Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 I can remember seeing a takeaway in South London called MacTuckeys. It sold burgars, ribs and fried chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP25 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I've bought these before and thought it was KFC at first too. It looks like the name stands for Kasemchai Farm Group and they've been around for over 30 years. They have another logo that doesn't look like KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandBert Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yes those are the ones. As I said my post wasn't knocking them as the quality is top class. I especially like the jumbo sized eggs. I just preumed they were KFC products and had a little giggle when the penny dropped. Whoever designed the logo deserves a pay rise I still haven't found out just what an egg sausage is. Perhaps I should have bought some to try ?

ThaidDown Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 This is an 'egg sausage' Its also shown in jcw's post, centre left. Still on the subject of branding have just bought a lawnmower with a HYNO engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I saw a cart with chicken rotisserie that said KFG, figured it meant Kentucky Fried Gy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on the subject of branding have just bought a lawnmower with a HYNO engine. Not the ones I was looking at. They were more like the small sausages you get in the 7/11 maybe an inch long. I will get a pack tomorrow to have a taste. I also have a generator with the same Hyno engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures above clearly say KCF....JEEEEEES! Did you also never question when a multinational fast food chain started to sell eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
