Which chain is known for the advertising mascot "Colonel Sanders"?
Colonel Harland Sanders is the iconic figure associated with KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). The Colonel, with his distinct white suit and goatee, represents the brand's Southern heritage and commitment to quality. Harland Sanders founded KFC in the 1930s, starting with a roadside restaurant in Kentucky. His original recipe of "11 herbs and spices" remains a closely guarded secret and is central to KFC's signature fried chicken. Over the decades, the Colonel has been portrayed by various actors in commercials, but his image continues to evoke a sense of tradition and authenticity for the brand.

I think mascot is the wrong name. COLONEL HARLAN SANDERS was the owner and spokesperson for KFC. To me a mascot would be a type of animal!!

Try a little easier question ———-I had to stop and think for a millisecond.

Jerry Edwards, I believe the correct answer (because SPG's question was in the present tense) would be NOTHING. I think the chain officially dropped the expansion from the brand name.

Colonel Sanders was the founder of KFC. My Sister is also an honorary Colonel.

Special Patrol Group,
I can't view the other replies for some reason, but I'm certain they all say the answer to your question is on the first line of the narrative. 😵💫😵💫😵💫

"Colonel" is an honorary title given in Kentucky and does not consider one's military status.

Robert Oldenburg,
I agree about real people, but mascots aren't always animals either.

billyboy915, true, however Sanders was a real person, the ones listed aren’t. That would be like calling Freddie Mercury Queen’s mascot.

Raymond Cardona,
Mascots are not always animals.
• The Mets have Mr. Met, a baseball player with a giant baseball for a head..
• Syracuse U. has Otto the Orange.
• Notre Dame U. has Lucky the Leprechaun.
• Duke U. has the Blue Devil.
• For years, Ragnar the Viking was the mascot for the Minnesota Vikings.
There are many more non-animal mascots.
