The Internet Just Learned Why KFC's Twitter Account Only Follows 11 People

As of late, many fast food chains have utilized social media for clever marketing strategies. Arby's posts creative pop culture-related photos, Wendy's roasts as many people as they can, and Burger King has promoted complaint tweets about their competitors, all in strokes of internet genius. The KFC Twitter account, however, is hiding one of the more clever stunts out there... and now that we know it, we can't believe how subtle and perfect it is.

That may seem like a very odd and specific number, but there's a good reason why KFC's social media team chose to do that.

Even Wendy's had to tip their hat to what may be the greatest "dad joke" of all time, although they were a little salty over it.
