KFC has decided to replace iceberg lettuce with cabbage in their meals as its price has increased dramatically.
The new Prime Minister of Australia today referred to the “cabbage-gate”, “scandal” that mainly concerns social networking sites and concerns the decision of the restaurant chain KFC to offer mixed saladpartially replacing cabbage iceberg lettuce, in sandwiches and other meals it sells, due to the inconspicuous increase in the price of lettuce.
For Anthony Albanese, the KFC’s “crazy” decision to replace cabbage lettuce in chicken burgers and other products has caused … a national “crisis”.
In a country where inflation is estimated to reach 5.1%, the price of lettuce has risen by 300% in some Australian cities, partly due to recent floods and partly due to rising global fuel prices.
The iceberg lettuce head, which previously cost A $ 2 (€ 1.34), is now priced at almost $ 8 (€ 5.35) in Sydney and Melbourne.
Thus, the restaurant chain KFC announced in the middle of the week that its Australian customers will henceforth be obliged to taste mixed salad, cabbage and lettuce, in the products it sells. The announcement provoked outraged reactions from users of social networking sites.
“Cabbage is not the same thing as lettuce. “This is simply not right,” Albanese told Sydney’s KIIS FM radio station. “I will raise the issue in the cabinet today. Cabbage-gate! “
