KFC drops "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan amid pandemicAugust 25, 2020 - 16:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Global fast food giant KFC says it is halting its "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan given the current hygiene advice because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Some people commented on social media the slogan was not a health hazard as you were already eating with your own hands. But the finger-lickin' message has caused concern since the pandemic began.
