KFC faces gravy shortage in United Kingdom after rebounding from chicken panicThis is finger-licking bad.
KFC faces a gravy shortage in the United Kingdom, just a week after the fast food chain temporarily closed its doors there.
Parent company Yum! Brands said the dwindling flow of gravy was part of ongoing issues with new supplier DHL, which last week led to the chicken catastrophe.
Due to the ongoing distribution challenges DHL is experiencing, some restaurants are continuing to serve a reduced menu, a Yum! spokesman told Reuters. Were working as hard as we can to get this sorted out. We know that our gravy is a big favorite!

I love that shit, on the rare occasion we get KFC. In fact, when they ask what two sides youd like, I get two sides of mashed potatoes because I love them that much! (Yeah, my wife is a gem for limiting my fast food intake, lol!)
