Social media is ablaze after people began to learn of the price of a single chicken drumstick at KFC. A user from Kentucky posted a message about how he placed an order before realizing that a single chicken drumstick at KFC was priced at $4.79. Some users believe inflation is to blame, while others argue that the ridiculous price is driven by corporate greed. Commenters began posting the price of a drumstick in their areas, with prices ranging from $4.19 in New York City to $2.69 in Maryland. Unsurprisingly, the highest price was $4.89 in California. Yum! Brands, parent company of KFC, shuttered 25 restaurants in the U.S. last year and are known for having a history of sales drops. Other factors to be considered are the rising costs of labor and the tipping culture.
