HAHAH THIS WAS FUNNY! While bankers protect their gold and religions guard their relics, to a fast food empire, nothing is more valuable than a secret recipe. For KFC, that precious recipe consists of the 11 undisclosed herbs and spices in Colonel Sander’s original fried chicken recipe.In 2009, the recipe was given an upgraded safe in KFC’s headquarters in Kentucky. During the five months when the vault was being constructed, the recipe was kept in an undisclosed location and was transported in true secret agent style—via a lockbox handcuffed to the wrist of a security consultant.Now the recipe is kept behind an assortment of state-of-the-art security technology, including motion detectors, cameras, and 24-hour guards. Thick concrete slabs surround the safe and the entire security system is connected to a backup generator.And don’t try to convince the drive thru guy into revealing the restaurant’s chicken formula, since not even the president of KFC can get his hands on the recipe. Apparently only two company executives have permission to use the safe at any one time, and no one knows who they are. Also, they keep suppliers from getting wise by ordering the ingredients from multiple companies.Naturally, some of the hype surrounding the recipe is just for publicity, but KFC is definitely serious about keeping it hush-hush. In 2001, they initiated a lawsuit against a couple who claimed they found the Colonel’s original recipe in one of his old homes.
