肯德基薯條換新裝

A woman's four-year-old tweets may just have helped KFC revamp its fries, after she bemoaned the quality of chips in the fast food chain.

一位女士在抱怨過肯德基這一快餐零售店的薯條質量以後，她四年前發的這條推文，改變了肯德基薯條。

Charlie Burness, 30, from London, was buying her mother a meal from the fast food chain for her birthday in August 2014, but was left disappointed by its potato side.

來自倫敦的Charlie Burness現年30歲，在2014年的8月份買了一份肯德基餐來慶祝其母親的是生日，可是薯條的口感讓她很失望。

Taking to the social network at the time, she wrote: 'I've got to say, KFC are riding solely on their chicken because Christ, those are cr** fries.'

當時她在社交媒體上寫道：我不得不說，肯德基裏面也只有雞好吃，油炸薯條真是太挫了。”

And four years on the chicken shop contacted the diner to let her know it had overhauled its fries recipe.

四年以來，肯德基聯繫到了她，讓她瞭解他們是怎樣重新改革他們的油炸菜譜的。

She told Newsbeat: 'I thought it was quite clever actually.

在接受Newsbeat採訪的時候，她說：“我覺得他們此舉很機智。”

And KFC took to comments over the weekend to confirm it had released a new type of fries to their UK chains.

週末的時候肯德基發推確認在英國地區的門店會推出新式薯條。

In a clever marketing ploy the fast food joint had posters printed with tweets from those who had criticized its chips.

把嫌棄其薯條的推特用戶的評論發表出來這是一個非常精明的營銷策略。

One featured a tweet from user Upgrade_music and read: 'Dear KFC, no one likes your fries. Yours sincerely, the entire world.'

其中有一條用戶Upgrade_music這樣寫道：“親愛的肯德基，沒有喜歡你的薯條，來自整個世界真心的評論。”

The tweet has already received 3,500 favorites, almost a thousand retweets and hundreds of comments from excited fans praising the move.

這條推特得到了大約一千條的轉發，數百條評論來自用戶稱讚此舉的評論。”

The restaurant described its new chips as chunkier, and 'made from spuds with the skin left on'.

肯德基表示請款的薯條更粗，是用留着皮的土豆做的。

Jack Hinchliffe, innovation director at KFC UK & Ireland said: 'We don't change things on a whim - the Colonel's Original Recipe chicken hasn't changed since he finalized it in 1940.'This was different though. We heard the nation's outcry. We read the brutal tweets. We had to step up our fries game.

'英國和愛爾蘭地區肯德基的創新總監Jack Hinchliffe說；“我們不會一時興起做改變，上校原味雞的菜譜自1940年確認以來就沒有變過，不過這次的改變不同，我們聽到國家民衆的呼籲，讀到粗魯的推特留言。所以我們決定進一步在炸薯條上面花功夫。”
