You wouldn't download a chicken tender.
It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.
Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don't deserve to stay in business.
They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.
I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more...
And act like they’re doing youthe favor, to allow you to politely hand them your hard-earned peasant pennies.
They don't want some of the money. They want all of the money.
Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.
Also, fuck yeah I'd download a chicken tender.
why the fuck they need to show you an ad. you're already there buying chicken
Why make money if you can make MORE money?
They probably aren't showing you ads. They are probably inserting trackers to tag you as a person, a purchaser, who likes chicken and is willing to pay for food, for delivery etc. the size of your order may hint at demographics, like family, kids. The address.gives useful data, the type of credit card. What kind of software and hardware loaded the site? Etc etc.
If there's no secrets then there shouldn't be any problem with ad blocking
How bizarre. I mean, you’re trying to pay them money.
They deserve double money
Don't forget to tip your pop-up ads
experience optimal performance
Phone immediately bricks due to the sheer volume of malware and ads piling into the browser.
Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.
We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can't pop up. Ads can't auto play. Ad can't be bigger than this.
We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.
I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.
Their "joke" to shoehorn in a statement about their 11 herbs and spices doesn't even make sense. Like, it's implying you are using an ad blocker to gain secrets? What?
The overworked tech dude who had to build this page just didn't give a single shit I guess.
The overworked tech dude didn’t have a single say on what went on there. That was the out of touch marketing team and project manager.
Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.
They never said what performance they are optimizing, I'm pretty sure it's profit.
While this is egregious, why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?
I didn't know that was even possible. This is a wholly unexpected mode of behavior.
Well its not going to be on BK dot com.
Can you be sure? Has anybody here ever taken the time to really look? We are making some very dangerous assumptions here.
Sorry, best I can do is never visit your shitty website again. Guess I'll order fried chicken from somewhere else, or, better yet, make a superior version at home!
Make sure to update your Ad Blocker settings to include the whole site.
Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.
Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the "right" thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?
Went to some kind of restaurant chain once (red robin I think?) and there were ads as we were eating.
Yeah they put ads on that little screen you use to pay. Also it never has any receipt paper loaded.
optimal performance
WTF
What ads are even on a Pepsico website? Why would Pepsi need 3rd party advertising on their own website?
Probably telemetry, which most ad blockers also block. I think you meant kfc instead of pepsi
KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly
Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.
I don't eat there anyways, but I wish I could even more not eat there now.
They didn't understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.
That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.
No longer a secret: The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:
11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour
2⁄3 t salt
1⁄2 t thyme
1⁄2 t basil
1⁄3 t oregano
1 t celery salt
1 t black pepper
1 t dry mustard
4 t paprika
2 t garlic salt
1 t ground ginger
3 t white pepper

Please eat less fried foods, for your own health.
The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.
Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.
See though, the thing is my idea of "optimal performance" means using an app without seeing any ads. So, no I don't think I'll be turning it off.
Very important has to be the thing that I'm doing so that I have to open a browser without ad-block. For most things the close tab button brings me more peace of mind.
