夏说英文晨读-肯德基暂停经典广告用语E0828

▍原文

Global fast food giant KFC says 

it is halting its "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan 

given the current hygiene advice 

because of the coronavirus pandemic.

"We find ourselves in a unique situation

- having an iconic slogan 

that doesn't quite fit

in the current environment,"

the company said.

It has altered its packaging 

with the phrase obscured 

but KFC said the phrase would return 

when the time was right.
