KFC beef burrito

When I go into fast food places and arrive too late to try the breakfast menu, I can't help but feel disappointing. Cheaper and more flavourful, why would anyone want the generic offerings from other times of the day. In this case, I missed breakfast and decided to try something a friend told me they ordered.

Rather disappointing.

KFC breakfast

I don't normally eat KFC, but since I was at work over the weekend I decided to sample some things.

This guy looks too busy to have time to stop in at KFC. Service is so slow, you order then wait around five minutes for them to make one item you ordered that they don't happen to have made already.

Bacon and egg muffin thing - passable, but hardly the level of taste and quality that the McDonalds equivalent is. With the coffee, this was 13 RMB I think. Three hash brown like things, which were an extra 3 RMB when bought along with the muffin and coffee. And finally, a chicken congee, which cost 6 RMB.

These look so much bigger on the poster. In the carton, which isn't that large, they are small chunks that sit at the bottom. It is almost embarassing to get sold these.

The bacon and egg mcmuffin like product.

The chicken congee. This was worth it. I'd seriously consider buying this and a coffee, in place of trying other random items of junk food on their menu.

Why does Skype steal from its users?

I don't understand why Skype insists on threatening to take my money, if I do not use it on a regular basis. Why 180 days? Is that the limit on chargebacks? The subtext of "Talk soon" at the end of email, is "or else..".
