The Toyota Tarago van is sometimes owned by large Samoan, Tongan & Māori families for the extra seating. The ukulele seems to be a fave instrument for them, they’re pretty good at it & singing too tbh 😂
It’s one of those funny generalisations/stereotypes that we all have a laugh about ✌🏼
Exactly how I was going to explain it
I once got my order mixed up with a that of a pacific island fam. it was the single biggest line up I've seen and felt I couldn't get it too them without wasting more precious hours of time and left it with Maccas to deal with. I hope they got their order in the end, such wonderful people in the pacific
Racial profiling much.🤦🏼♀️
@@2young2rocknroll Read again 🙄 Try hard to take note of words like “sometimes”, “funny generalisations/stereotypes”, & “we all have a laugh about”. There you go, I almost repeated the whole thing to help you.
I don't know what the quality is in America, but KFC in Australia is pretty decent. I've never had anything close to raw chicken... the chicken breast in the burgers is pretty decent and usually much better than Maccas.
American KFC is gross.
In Australia, the quality of KFC does vary from store to store.
The level of greasiness
If the chips are cooked properly
But more importantly is the time you go and order.. go in when they're busy or just after the meal rush - all the chicken is fresh, crispy stuff is crispy as opposed to rubbery, and the chips are hot enough to burn your fingers.
Just got a bit expensive as late, but lets face it, they all have.
It was alright 30 odd years ago.
I don't think Americans know what Maccas is. McDonald's.
Yes, they are clean and well kept, like all food outlets. Service is usually great. All fast food places have cans and bottles.
I've never had a can or bottle from McDonald's or Hungry Jack's; It was post mix from subway last I went too. Not sure what state you live in.
Except for Nowra KFC. You put your arms on the table and they are glued. If you can unstick yourself from the table and chairs, it's time to leave and run for your life. Bring a bucket.
My American ex-wife, while in Australia during a failed attempt at living there full-time (long story) was particularly rude to a KFC employee. In the US chicken meat is described as either white meat (breast/wing) or dark meat (leg/thigh). That’s not a thing in Australia. She could not fathom this, and went ballistic. One of many times I was overtly embarrassed, and sorry for the victim. I cured that when I brought her back to the US and dumped her. It was only a test marriage. I found a winner shortly thereafter.
Good man!
is that what thats about, i noticed on some programs when they have their thanksgiving (the indians the shaft) day the white or dark meat question is asked. i wondered what kind of fukd up turkeys they have over there.
@@danielponiatowski7368 On a turkey, the color distinction is more noticeable than a chicken. The dark meat is shades darker than the light. For a lot of people, it’s all the difference, they may prefer one over the other.
Yep in Australia you get what your given unless you ask for the specific cut. I always ask for thigh
Yay, I like breast or rib, my daughter wants thigh. Red Rooster, though. At KFC we get nuggets, especially while they have the $8 box of 18. I’m so tired of nuggets…..
Tarago = Toyota mini van
Minivan with ukulele playing = full of a family of giant Samoan Pacific islanders
The reference to the 37 boxes of chicken for a tarago with someone playing ukulele in the back is referring to people of Polynesian Island decent who are usually large humans that can smash an impressive amount of food and are partial to some KFC. Oh and a tarago is a van.
No kidding, there is a Samoan family not too far from me and they have TWO vans parked in their driveway.
Lovely people and, yes, they are quite... sizeable.
The 'zinger' range is the spicy option.
If Colonel Sanders was God, then a Zinger stacker box & Pepsi Max is my holy communion.
Woo my town finally on one of these videos, met him at a party once, as funny in person as he is in videos
This guy is great. You can learn a lot about Aussie culture from him 😅
About the cans. When the outlet uses Postmix, they reduce the amount if syrup to the point where the drink is just cold without any flavour, with cans you know what you are getting.
What is Postmix?
@@valsyaranamual6853 Postmix
Postmix refers to the system in which a flavored syrup (concentrate) of the soft drink is shipped to the retailer, usually in a returnable tank or a disposable bag-in-box container. At the point of sale, the soft drink is mixed to order from the postmix syrup, chilled and purified water, and carbon dioxide (from a gas cylinder), and usually dispensed from a soda fountain or soda gun.
REf: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premix_and_postmix
Cheers
I haven't had KFC in over 5 years now, I don't miss it. I remember how bad I felt after eating it, didn't matter which store location it was from. For me, Red Rooster has always been superior.
You mean to say that after eating a heap of deep fried chicken soaked in oil you didn’t feel the best afterwards? Thats rough mate. Maybe slow down to chew next time?
@@stevenmccloughan Literally one piece of chicken is too much.
@@stevenmccloughanyour sarcasm is sublime! 😂
Yep, most Aussie KFC's serve canned drinks, or 600ml bottle if you upsize.
Agreed. Unless you're buying from a KFC in a shopping centre food court, then you get post mix in a cup.
@@vickityson5259 Even a lot of those do the cans and bottles, but yeah, that's usually where the exceptions are.
I get the bottle of orange juice because I don't like Pepsi and I don't like solo very much either
I don’t like Pepsi drinks, but Coke seems to be disappearing from fast food places. KFC is owned by PepsiCo, so can’t help that. Then Dominos did a deal & now Red Rooster has sold out, too.
Not happy, Jan.
I have been to KFC in the States and in Straya and I can confirm Aussie KFC is way better. Basically we have stricter laws around chicken that means the quality is much higher. Also I don’t know why but from what I experienced we also have larger range.
Ps I come from 2 generations of Chicken shop owners and we still love KFC. My dad once hid in the car so a customer from our chicken shop didn’t see him eating in KFC😅😂😂
G'day Ryan! We don't have free re-fills like ya'll do in the USA... so it's either a can or a bottle. I always go the can cause the drink stays cooler IMO :)
None of those things have ever happened to me at KFC. except the missing food. 😂
Another case of kfc forgettingfulness
I usually ask for a FULL gravy, please! And I have complained bitterly about not being able to get large gravy any more.
My local manager has said I’m too nice to be a Karen, so that’s an indication. We only have one within 100km, so I used to bring ALL their mistakes to their attention.
K.F.C is the kind of once a year thing, cus it takes that long to forget about how you feel after consumption, but if you crave junk food when n you rarely eat it, Kentucky comes to mind. Their sweet chilli/Aioli wraps are good.
Red Rooster!
We don't have KFC hear in my town, the closest is 65km away, yet I still see the red & white boxes in the bins in front of Woolies or the main Street & servo's. If I have to go to Bunnings 65km away afterwards I pop in to KFC for a 3 pice feed. ( 2 or 3 times a year)
I wouldn't say KFC is beloved down here - but we do have a high opinion of their fries 😁 The guys who make the Garn videos are total legends 😊 How they get access to film in our best known fast food chains, supermarkets, hardware chains etc is beyond me!
Yes, i must admit, when they get the chips right (most of the time) they are awesome.
Oh that was good. Had this Aussie laughing
here's your answer to what is a crusher: a crusher is a discontinued Australian KFC drink where they would get cookie bits and blend it into a smoothie for 10 seconds and throw the concoction into a large clear cup with a straw a so big you can stuff your pinky into it
I would say most fast food chains have soft drink in cans/bottles here except Maccas and HJs(burger king) that I can think of
Both my kids work at KFC and my son just finished his shift. I showed him the part where they run out of chicken and he said that happened today and the customer just couldn’t understand and refused to believe him and just kept trying to order it. My son got all riled up watching this, I think I triggered him 😂
The zinger is a hot and spicy option for the original recipe as an outside coating of the chicken pieces or fillets. My all time favourite thing for a long time was the Zinger Works burger. It had bacon, cheese and pineapple added to the burger in the hot and spicy chicken fillet combined was just beautiful and they took it off the menu close to 10 years ago 😢. Don't understand why they took that away when it was one the nicest things on the menu.
Thx man it’s nice to have somebody who thinks good of my country
KFC in Australia was good when I was a kid 40 years ago. It used to be fresh with crunchy batter, even after a 10 minute drive home. It went to shit about 30 years ago, and was soggy pretty much straight over the counter.
Yes it was.
Yes. Not as good as it used to be!
I remember when you could smoke in KFC, as teenagers we would buy a large chips and a drink between us and sit there for hours smoking and talking bs.
@unsub0007 Ha! Yeah, the good old days.
so hugo said you go and i said no you go. remember that ad?
Our local KFC has 'no chicken Tuesdays'. Definitely been going down hill since the colonel died. I end up going with either 'Red Rooster' roast chicken and some places take away places have 'GFC' brand 'Golden Fried Chicken' which is what KFC used to be like about 20 years ago, large pieces and delicious without the tummy troubles. Garn is a legend!
A mate of mine moved to New York for 5 years, and on returning just last month, the first thing he did was go to a KFC here in Sydney. He said the US version is awful compare to the AU version, specifically how greasy the US version is.
A lot of our soft drinks at fast food places are cans.
Garn is in my hometown and this man is a national treasure
kfc is one of those things you either love or don't, for me i'll eat it once every few years because i used to love the chicken when i was a kid. but now i've learnt the chicken is always disappointing now so a zinger burger meal will do. i'd prefer hungry jacks any day.
Well they only get deliveries like 3 times a week, they do run out of stuff, quite regularly. Especially around 9pm onwards( closes at 10pm).order a Streetwise Feast and get all chicken tenders and nuggets with chips instead of 4 pieces chicken, 8 tenders and 8 nuggets and 2 large chips. The drink cans are the small size meal, you can get the 600ml bottle for large or the 1.25L bottle with the big boxes. Zinger burgers are the best. Like buffalo wings seasoning on it, in taste/ spice.
Having tired KFC both here in Australia and also when I visited the USA, it's made very differently. USA KFC actually tastes awful by comparison. Also the chips at KFC here in AUS are the best, only NZ have something close to them.
I have not bought KFC for many years. when I was still working we had a KFC around the corner. I usually took my lunch or dinner to work but occasionally i would get takeaway. I went to KFC several times but each time I was ill and since then have never patronised any KFC store.
As an Australian KFC worker….everything is so well kept and clean, our zinger menu is literally the most common thing ordered, we do get discounts, and we miss the krushers soooo much
That of course is a sendup and the shops are spotless and the staff are immaculate and polite and you are served through a W indoor not an idiot on the drive l don't know anybody who has had undercooked food either .
Yep I needed a good laugh!
Good on your mate!

A Zinger is a Burger with chilli in the 'crust'.
Here in Tassie we have a home grown version of KFC. It's called "Legs & Breasts". True.
Garn means going. For example... Are ya garn the footy Sundee?...means Are you going to the football on Sunday?
I first heard “Garn” when Eliza Doolittle said it in “My Fair Lady”. Straight from Cockney London & it suits Aussies perfectly.
This guy is from my city (yay townsville).
He is hilarious. The cans of soft drink come in the regular size meal.
If you have to ask the question, Ryan, you obviously haven't seen any of several videos titled something like "KFC is great everywhere except USA"
Thankfully I don’t personally know anyone who talks like this guy. I choose my friends wisely. Also, the older I get, the less slang I use.
Same.
I love KFC. I've never had raw chicken in any chicken store.
Krushers were the best. Absolutely loved them. Unfortunately, they don't sell them anymore and haven't since like 2013
Aussie KFC is the best hangover cure 😂 cans for the regular and bottle for the large measls! Zinger is not hot or spicy 😂
Garn is amazing :) I suggested it before, glad you're checking it out mate
How do you get your drinks from KFC? I love that they sell cans and bottles. Then I don’t have to drink the drink straight away if I’m not thirsty. Unlike Maccas drinks that go flat.
Have not eaten KFC for 50 years. Then a friend of mine who worked there described cutting tummors of the chickens before adding the herbs and spices.
KFC Krusher was a icecream ice hybrid thing with a few different flavours my fav was choc mint ;)
I love Garn. The videos are all great.
Garn has made some classic videos !! 🤣🤣🤣
Garn is HILARIOUS
all these comments saying zingers are the hot and spicy version... i eat them all the time and didnt realise they were meant to be spicy haha
Original recipe all the way. I used to always get a zinger burger combo but 10 or 12 years ago I did a switch and been loving the original recipe ever since. My local KFC is pretty good.
My wife and I have KFC at least once a fortnight. Pretty good Tucker but a little expensive. The local charcoal chicken is cheaper and more healthy but my wife prefers KFC you have to please the misses
I don't know any Aussie that loves KFC... the ukulele reference is the pacific islanders that come here eat it hand over fist, and even pack it up to take back to the islands with them when they go back for a holiday.. they're also noted for large families and a Toyota Tarago to carry the mob around in.
KFC has really dropped standards in Aus over the last few decades. Pieces are tiny, indicating cheap, small chickens. For people who like Southern Style fried chicken, try Red Rooster. Amazed me at how good it is in comparison.
Red Rooster my go to!
So much better then & they do fried chicken now... my fav the roast chicken meal & the chicken roll with pineapple fritter!
The last time we had Red Roo, it was awful. That was several years ago. Now that my memory has been cleansed I might give it a go.
Sigh. I want Red now…..
Yes you would get a can, KFC sells regular size drinks as cans. Or else it's like a 1 point something litre bottle.
I have KFC about once a year and each time vow never again. Sometimes it's good....but usually not so good. I like their coleslaw but probably because it's full of sugar. My favourite was a 3 piece dinner box but it has become more expensive and often contains at least one piece of "battered ribs".
Dude I was only thinking this morning about sending this guy through to you!!
Super Happy Arvo! 😁🎉 KFC - once you see the teenager taking out the trolley of used fat, that's the last KFC chicken you voluntarily eat! 😝 (Occasionally I buy a regular chips! 😄)
Nonsense jennifer, that's all the favour! It permeates and infuses the chicken with the flavour of a thousand other chickens
We have it about once a year & get the crispsy children strips & they are really good!
We only get it once, because im a bit of a health nut lol 😆
Crispy children strips? Is that a new menu item due to chicken shortages? 😁
@@unsub0007 haha no lol 😆🤣 they have always had them lol
Kentucky Fried Chook!!
Who else goes to maccas drive through for burgers and kfc for the chips
I do
That's why i call it Kentucky Chuck .
So the Zinger Burger is basically a hot & spicy chicken sandwich. Basically a hot and spicy chicken fillet with lettuce and mayo.
I say its a sandwich because I know (at least some) Americans get very particular about defining what a burger is. Many of you guys insist that burgers are strictly beef patties between burger buns, that if it's chicken it can't be a burger, it is a sandwich. Here in Aus, if its something between a burger bun, we'll call it a burger.
Also, KFC is pretty good when you have that specific craving for it, just be ready for the hot'n spicy KFC regret that comes after, its a trip but sometimes worth it.
A Tarago is known in the US as a Toyota Previa.
Our local KFC has now STOPPED getting in, Herald-Sun Newspaper.
Hey, I’m a shelia mate 😁
Struth, cobs.
There's two of us!
Three
If you haven't sussed to his name yet, it's based on the phrase "Go and get fuc...d!
That gets shortened to just 'Go an...', then the 'oa' diphthong is modified to sound like 'Garn'
(preferably sadly loudly, with flat vowels and an inflection implying something between disdain and mild contempt.).
I only buy drumsticks..hard to fuck them up. Smallest drive-thru in the worst locations..and I too have experienced the 'we don't have any chicken can I offer you anything else'...so chips? ❤
A Zinger burger is a hot and spicy chicken. Tastes real good.
Why did they discontinue the corn cob?
KFC running out of chicken is an actual thing that happened in Australia at one point.
fun fact, a lot of us down under call it dirty bird 😅
You did good with the “Arvo” nice work
Can't beat a bit of Dirty Duck for a good old colon cleanse ;)
I noticed you have reacted to a bunch of songs, I didn't see a video for a song you should hear.
"And the band played waltzing matilda." (Not to be confused with the other song, Waltzing Matilda.)
It's about the events of Gallipoli in WWI.
One of the saddest.
Eric Bogle is also known for comedy songs, especially ridiculing racism.
I don’t know if it’s correct, but the thing about the bunch of people in the one vehicle and the banjo makes me think of the movie Deliverance. Or perhaps a dig at Tasmanians?
I LOVE Zinger Burgers! And yes, they do sell drinks in cans.
Try the wicked wings, spicy and crisp chichen wings..and it comes in a meal or by pcs. You can have 6 or 10 pcsmeal deal large for $18 at current price. The best meal in KFC
Garn might be a play on the Aussie pronunciation and shortening of words for ‘Go On’, ‘Give it a go’.
A Tarago will be a big Samoan family. They can eat. Once in some hick town in rural America we rocked up to KFC start asking for our order. The girl couldn’t understand our accent. She’s going thru all the options. We were like what? She repeats it we’re cracking up laughing she’s getting mad it was like a 3 ring circus. In the end she said are you mocking me? We laughing saying no and sorry. She told us to take a hike. Not getting any KFC. Haha
Yep cans or bottles. No drinks dispenser cos remember we dont do refills
We used to, at HJ’s. I was so sad when they took it out.
I. Used to take my autistic grandson to therapy - a 30 minute drive both ways. The only way we could get him to go was to get him KFC on the way home. I was told by an American friend living here that it was far better quality than he could get in American KFC. Personally I prefer Red Rooster.
Haven’t watched it yet but yes, Aussie kfc kicks the states butt….big time. God I miss just driving up and getting a large chips…..it’s seriously worth the flight back home 😭
Zinger chicken has “spicy” coating… all the drinks at KFC are in cans or bottles.. they don’t do cups…
A Krusher! I used to drink the Golden Gaytime one ALL the time! They're like really thick thickshakes full of yummy stuff 🤤 Also you get a can with a small meal & bottle with a large meal. My fave burger was the Tower - don't like the Zingers: too hot 🥵
Wazza! Good video mate! 😂
Everyone goes crazy for Zinger Boxs
KFC will actually wrap individual pieces of chicken in aluminium foil upon request so that customers can bring KFC to family in regional towns
I've been to an American KFC. Imagine driving down the road "ON THE WRONG SIDE" all confusion occurs so you accidently take a turnoff that you didn't want. Yep we ended up in a small country town not knowing what the hell was going on or how we got there.
P. S. We finally got to our destination.
We love kfc because there not an over saturated market of fast food in Aus ESPECIALLY chicken shops you have KFC or red rooster/other rotisserie chicken style shops. Yes you get a can for the regular size and a 750ml for large. That’s your only sizes. The reference you didn’t get was him just saying that’s why he likes the job or something like that. Krushers are like crushed cookie choc chip thick shakes, you had boba sized straws or you couldn’t eat/drink it.
600 ml bottles.
Must confess, the last time I reluctantly walked into a KFC, was about 15 years ago. The shop was SO DIRTY I will never go again.
KFC here does hot and spicy deep fried chicken, far better than the regular! In a burger it is called a zinger burger. And the workers are young and courteous.
My 30+ year old kids still love KFC and one of them was a manager so it can't be that bad everywhere
Tarago vans are usually us Polynesians… lol… Samoans Tongans Fijians Māoris Cook Islanders etc
One big difference is chips - french fries - not available in USA - but you can get a biscuit
Yes they have cans of soft drinks.
Townsville Australia. I'd recognise that KFC anyway.
In Canberra the KFC at hawker is the best one. Dickson kfc tastes like chemicals lol
Yeah kfc serves drinks in a can, better than McDonald’s flavoured water though
