Banquet Fried Chicken, sometimes you can't find a KFC.

....and you hate your family! 😆

…turn the box over and behold 95% Sodium. 😂😂😂

Someone else was able to help me figure out who the people in this are - beyond Mary Frann as the daughter, the mother is Florida Friebus, and the father is Bill Quinn.

If Poppa is that upset, he can fry the chicken himself!

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Is that Jane Rose as the mother and Mary Frann as the daughter? I can't tell. EDIT: The mother seems to be Florida Friebus.

I think you are right.

Loved Banquet.. But there were so many questionable pieces..😂

[@SnepperStepTV]

I can't imagine a future where frozen food took over everything else. Does it always taste plasticy to anyone else? I can barely eat it, thank gosh i don't have to.

The textures are an awful mush, the seasonings are dead, and everything is pumped up with as much water and sodium as possible because they are the cheapest ingredients available. People like it.

Yeah the crust taste like Papier-mâché and the meat is as dry as Egyptian mummy........mmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm good
