KFC fan left 'screaming' after discovering fast food brand has different name in a part of Canada
KFC fan left 'screaming' after discovering fast food brand has different name in a part of Canada
KFC is known around the world for its chicken coated in a delicious blend of 11 herbs and spices. But if you happened to be after a KFC in Quebec, you’d soon find the chain goes by a different name. One X/Twitter user was left shocked after finding out that in Quebec, Canada several world-name brands are translated into French and therefore have different names and initials. They tweeted: “Someone told me that the French language laws in Quebec are so strict that even KFC is PFK (Poulet Fris Kentucky) so I had to check on Google Maps for myself and now I’m screaming into a pillow.” Alongside the tweet, they added a screenshot of a PFK shop in Queuec to demonstrate their point. In another post, they pointed out that, even in the country of France, it is still known as KFC and they labelled the Quebecious laws “f**king psycho”. The tweet drew a variety of responses, with some people defending Quebec and others arguing it is unnecessary to change a well-known brand name. One person argued: “I love how people in the comments are saying this is dumb of us because France doesn’t even do that. “France won’t ever have to worry about protecting their language because they’re a French country. Québec is a mainly French province in an aggressively English North America.” Another asked: “You’re screaming into a pillow because a place that’s overwhelmingly French translated a sign into… French?” Someone else joked: “You can imagine my shock when I received this in Southern Ontario.” One person explained: “Ok so the funniest part of this is also that some brands will say that their name is a proper noun that doesn't need to be translated and then only translate words like ‘the’ or ‘and’ which is how you end up with this.” Another person simply asked, “This isn’t common knowledge???”, to which the original poster replied: “To someone living in Australia? No.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Snoop Dogg reveals on Instagram he has quit smoking weed
Snoop Dogg reveals on Instagram he has quit smoking weed
Snoop Dogg has announced that he is giving up smoking weed. In a recent Instagram grid-worthy post to his 82.4m followers, the 52-year-old rapper - whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr - broke the news to his fans. "After much consideration and conversation with my family, I've decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time," the text on the image read. For the post caption, he simply added: "I’m giving up smoke," not revealing the motivations behind this decision. Fans have been sharing their reaction and support in the comments section. One person said: "I mean look. The guy has smoked more j’s and blunts than anyone on the planet. He’s prolly smoked more than anyone has or ever will. It’s actually not surprising when I think about it that way." "Mind over matter you got this," another person wrote. A third person replied: "Bruh.. it is NOT April yet." "His official blunt roller on the market for a new gig," a fourth person commented. Someone else added: "I gave up marijuana a year ago.. it feels good and I feel healthier. Good luck on your journey." Snoop Dogg is famously known for his love of smoking weed, he appeared to have a puff ahead of his Super Bowl performance last year and had fans desperately to fill his blunt roller vacancy. He even has a cannabis-focused digital media platform called Merry Jane which he launched in 2015, while last year Snoop Dogg also invested the THC-infused savory snacks called TSUMo Snacks. Some are convinced this recent announcement is a publicity stunt for a possible edibles business. One person said: "He about to change the edibles game or something." "I know a 'I’m doing edibles now' post when I see one," another person wrote, while someone else added: "Edibles it is!" Back in 2013, he revealed in a Twitter Q&A that he smokes up to 150 blunts per day - a number similar to the one Snoop Dogg's personal blunt roller Renegade Piranha estimated. "On average, I do about half a pound a day, which seems excessive. So that's roughly like 75 to 150 units per day. I calculate it at over 450,000 blunts," Piranha said last year. However, the Drop It Like It's Hot rapper did deny this claim though in an Instagram post where he screenshotted the stat and wrote in the caption: "The bitch is conning u man." Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has previously shared how he's lowered his weed intake since becoming a grandfather. 'Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,' he told DailyMail.com in March. 'The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with because I want to see my grandkids grow old. "The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking? "Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I’m supposed to be doing?"
