2 weeks agoWhy KFC Discontinued These Saucy Ribs Fans Still Talk About Years Later - Tasting Table
If these ribs were so well-liked, why are they now a discontinued KFC menu item we may never see again? Several sources (including employee testimonies) point to the pork shortage of 1973, which led the meat to steadily increase in price throughout the 1980s. The profit margin of KFC's ribs likely went down as pork prices went up, leading the chain to ax the item once it became too expensive to produce.
