Kenyan user MrBlack pointed out how KFC, with $5-10 meals amid $4,000 monthly US salaries, ranks as budget fare stateside but premium in places like Kenya, where a 650-shilling ($5) burger takes 10-15% of a daily $43 wage. In Ghana and Nigeria, it's a celebrated treat due to lower incomes and inflation, while South Africa's higher $2,000 salaries and 1,000 outlets make it more everyday—even for street kids. Users tied it to purchasing power gaps, joking that poverty flips who sees fried chicken as a status symbol.
