    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be haunted by Colonel Sanders? What could make such a thing a reality? That's where today's theory starts! You see in Japan KFC is HUGELY popular, so much that there are even statues of the Colonel himself. Would you believe that one of those statues is responsible for a CURSE put on a Japanese baseball team? Theorists, this is about to get WEIRD!

      I kept expecting him to bring up the rumors circulating around that the colonel actually hated what KFC wound up becoming - this would support the idea that he would give good luck to the team for throwing his statue in the river, a way of separating him from the company that would go on to make food he considered to be sub-par.
      Actually, if he was able to inflict a curse on anyone, it seems like he'd be more likely to curse the restaurants themselves than an underdog baseball team. He'd be like a Ghost Chef Ramsay, the only way to appease his curse would be to cook the food right lol

    Fun Fact: Turkey for Christmas IS very traditional, just not in America, it’s actually the most common main dish for Christmas here in England, despite most people admitting they don’t even like it, Ham is the second most popular and in my house, we opt for Beef Wellington
    Also, MatPat, if you ever visit China, don’t make your fast food visit Pizza Hut, I did when I went and it was easily the worst thing I’ve ever eaten, there were mostly onions topping it (despite me ordering pepperoni and ham), and most confounding, absolutely zero sauce, not even exaggerating, not a single drop, just base, cheese, and toppings

    Honestly, I’d like to think that Sanders would love that he has statues up in front of his restaurants, and is dressed up. I imagine he would love that people see him as a Santa figure, that’s touched the hearts, and fed the mouths, of millions. I dunno, I imagine that as much as he is a hardass, he is a softie about the public, especially the children who love his costumes and statues. Idea: the annual Mini Colonel celebration. Have kids and sports fans make little Colonel statues, to show their glee about their favorite sports teams, and rebuke the superstition of curses, as well as making it a symbol of perseverance. I doubt Colonel Sanders, a man who fought tooth and nail to get where he was, would believe in curses or higher powers taking you down. Not saying make a Kentucky Fried Cult, but I imagine kids being able to make a little statue, put him in any costumes they want, to support their favorite sports teams? It might make a good morale boost.

    Hey Matt, here's a fun little Canadian sports curse for you! The Toronto Maple Leafs won 4 Stanley Cups thanks in part to Bill Barilko, but the summer of 1951 he tragically passed in a plane crash. The Maple Leafs didn't win a single cup again until his body was found. The Tragically Hip even has a whole song about it called "Fifty Mission Cup", so truly sports and supernatural curses go together ridiculously.

    I'm imagining reporters on the news:
    "In recent times, fans of the Hanshin Tigers have been throwing effigies of Colonel Sanders into bodies of water. Retrieving them, but still throwing them. And the Tigers have had this _amazing_ lucky streak!"
    If that happened, I would _die_ of laughter and joy.

    When my husband studied in Japan, he said they treat Christmas kinda how we treat Valentine's day. It's a day for lovers where you go out together, and yeah KFC was the place to go and then get a cake from a baker to take home. Idk how much of that is still true, but I've seen it in animes before and think it's sweet
