Beloved KFC bucket puts Hamish and Andy in a spin
27th July, 2009 Australia’s favourite chicken brand has been in the news for one of its most famous icons: the legendary KFC spinning bucket. It all started when Hamish and Andy, Australia’s popular radio show hosts, received a call from a listener in Gympie. The caller announced on-air that she and her friends had started a Facebook petition to get the big bucket outside their local Gympie KFC to spin again! Always up for a bit of fun and big KFC fans themselves, Hamish and Andy decided to take up the challenge to restore the Gympie KFC bucket to its former spinning glory. The topic of the bucket quickly became front and centre of Hamish and Andy’s show for nearly two weeks. As Listeners were asked for their opinion on the KFC buckets, calls and e-mails poured in from all over the country. Hamish and Andy’s blog, which you can follow the link to below, also received hundreds of comments. It soon became clear that the spinning buckets at KFC were far more than just a landmark, with some even calling them a "Spinning sign of hope". KFC listened to their fans and began working around the clock to bring back Gympie’s famous icon. The KFC team pulled together the board, franchisees and a technical team to get things moving. Hamish and Andy dedicated time for an official response from KFC live on the 21st of July and even hauled an entire mob of KFC faithfuls into the studio to celebrate. The massive amount of anticipation that had been built up over the previous week was met with a resounding 'yes we can!' from the mysterious, yet anonymous, KFC informant "Captain X". The Gympie bucket shall spin again! As you read this, the KFC team are working overtime to get the KFC bucket at Gympie spinning again, so be sure to watch this space!
