Its still so weird to me that people don’t know about Japan’s Christmas Kfc thing

Please explain

In the last few decades it’s become a tradition to eat Kfc on Christmas in Japan (and Christmas cakes, but thats another story.) 

When Kfc opened there they tried a marketing campaign during the holiday season and it worked ridiculously well, leading the concept of Christmas fried chicken to actually ingrain itself in the country’s culture. 

They even sell special Christmas packages that you have to order weeks out in advance:

In short, thats why you see people celebrating Christmas with chicken in your animes: A marketing scheme that turned itself into tradition.

they also LOVE colonel sanders and some locations even dress up their statues
