KFC Australia change: Young Aussie bursts into tears
A young Australian has been moved to tears after KFC changed an iconic menu item amid the cost of living crisis.
Bill Barker claimed the Popcorn Chicken Go Bucket and a can of drink combo cost $4.95.
He was shocked to discover that the combo no longer includes a drink and Australians now have to pay an extra $3.75 to get a drink with their meal.
‘I worked at KFC for three years. This s*** (used to be) $4.95, combo,” he said.
The 21-year-old then started crying about the price of the drink.
‘I just want to be rich. And you know what, I’ll cry about it,” he said.

According to Frugal Feeds, a KFC Go Bucket costs $4.95 each, without a drink
Aussies were quick to share their disappointment at the changes at KFC.
“I worked there when Zinger Boxes cost $10.99. Now a large is over $15,” one person said.
“I mean back in the day $5 was all you needed for food, buy a Go Bucket for $3.95 and a frozen (drink) for a dollar and you’re done,” a second wrote.
“They’re now $5.95 for a combo. It’s been that way for a year,” said a third.
“What I noticed between Queensland and other states like Victoria is that the Go Bucket is a dollar cheaper in Victoria, while in Queensland it is extra,” a fourth commented.
But many others quickly called out the 21-year-old.
“Go to some outback town where a bag of Doritos costs $18 and you need an alcohol license to buy booze, then come back to Melbourne or Sydney and complain,” said one.
A second added: “These are some privileged issues, bruh.”
