Used to work at KFC. The extra Crispy is not fried longer. It's double breaded. It looks lighter because it has more flour/breading and is more airy. The original looks darker because the the spices are more visible with less breading.
Ex KFC manager here. Extra crispy is lighter in color. It’s double breaded with a different ratio of flour and spices. They’re both fried the same amount of time.
I think the glitter in the cola is there to make it look carbonated. Also, I've seen beef and turkey pot pies in stores, but chicken seems to be the most common.
you've made it, love. You've done so well over the last few months, you've gotten yourself out there. Companies are now (hopefully) going to rely on you for feedback. Congratulations. This is amazing. Thank you for taking us along with you on this journey
What a snooze! I too was hopeful there would be more variety. Maybe you can create something with them. You certainly have lots of duplicates to play with!
I ask for no ice. You get more product that way. I would definitely appreciate seeing you group by duplicates when you do these big unboxing videos. It makes it easier to see just what value you're really getting from the large packages.
Hey GB yes definitely try and get the whole collection but do it in parts so it’s not gonna make you broke hahaa we all are here waiting for you to find some gold hahaha ps: in Australia we call them Chicken Burgers. It’s weird to hear chicken sandwich hahaha I think the cultural differences are amazing. Great video hun. Couldn’t stop laughing about the worker who “didn’t wash their hands” haha
I'm in Australia and we have bottles and cans for our drinks, not cups with ice. Also our potato and gravy comes in round container with a lid. Its also looks like your menu is much different. We don't call them chicken sandwich, We call them chicken burgers.
Yes cause they're a burger cause of the burger bun not just something that's in between bread! 🍞🥪 Also Pepsi wanted to fully decide against having soft drink fountains a number of years ago cause it was better to have recyclable cans & bottles instead of non recyclable straws, cups & lids. And it would actually keep costs down. The only drinks they have in cups were the old Krushers & their frozen soft drinks. As long as I can remember (I'm almost 40) they've mostly had bottles & cans for their soft drinks in my local stores in Sydney. I do believe only a few stores use soft drink fountains, cups, straws & lids now but I haven't seen them in person. I only seen pictures online of their cups & paper straws. I d9 believe it's an individual franchisees choice to have the fountains or not.
Heyyoooo so ahem extra crispy is the golde color one because its cooked in what we call a open fryer so it gts to toss and turn. The original is the datker color because we cook it in a pressure fryer and the seasoning mix is a very peppery
Could you make the mashed potatoes look better by using the bowl and gluing some of the potato filling from the miniverse baked potato on top, and then top with a resin that looks like gravy?
It would have much more interesting had they packed in retro/discontinued items, or done variant color/flavor Pepsi products, or maybe had the series be Pepsi brand based and you get Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Hut items. Fantastic review! I stumbled across this after searching for videos about the KFC dating sim game. 😅
Pepsi owns Pizza Hut as well. Which could explain how MB has that as a licensed product too. Sorry you didn’t get to finish your collection. I was routing for you 😊
Pepsi Co owns KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Applebee's, Arby's, Quiznos, Hooters, IHOP, Panera & Golden Coral. They also have international branches that they franchise to for a handful of their US restaurant brands like Yum Brands.
@@lmaree200886 I’m well aware. I was mentioning the Pizza Hut because it’s a Trademark licensed product that, along with the sodas in MB, is through Pepsi.
Hi 👋 sorry I'm commenting a bit late today and I hope you are enjoying your KFC mini brands and I hope you are doing well 😊 and that you're having a happy weekend 😊 and a happy Saturday 😊. Also please remember to take care of yourself ☺️🙏. Also you are amazing 🤩 so keep being you cuz your awesome 👍😎🙏.
I used to work at kfc. The darker one is original and the lighter one is crispy. It would have been cool if they did a grilled one. Grilled chicken from kfc was so good.
You are very talented! I miss the mini foods you make! Perhaps you can recreate a better version of the disappointing items in clay showing how they should look! And maybe have some real KFC for reference and lunch! Love the videos ❤
The bigger balls unzip better because the holes in the wrap are bigger (on the zipper part). On the smaller balls... sometimes the smaller holes aren't punched through properly (or even all the way through). So the "strip" doesn't unzip as cleanly Also: the darker chicken is original because it's a thinner coating of breading with spices. The extra crispy is lighter due to them keeping the original spices in it. But they add flour to make a thicker coating (which equals crispier). I'm a cook so I thought this might help
I quit eating KFC in the '90s, They changed a bunch of recipes including the gravy, which to me tasted very peppery. & IMO the best place to get coleslaw is Bob Evans.
GB PLEASE READ A long time ago I opened a foodie mini brands series 1 ball with the Date listed as November 23 2023and i checked the collectors guide and it looked different than usual because it had 3 new minis that looked like they were from series 2. They were Boba teas and the yellow star with the "recycle bag" next to it, was changed for a green star and instead of "recycle bag" it said "take away bag"
In the town I lived in until a few years ago, Taco Bell and KFC were together in the same restaurant building. So, I could totally believe the fries are the same but for seasoning.
About the fries at taco bell, they are different. They both come up on the order sheet, but one is kfc and the other is a different brand. (I have to order the truck sometimes and it's kind of a pain cause all the companies inventories come up that are under our umbrella)
I like the extra details on these minis but would have been really disappointed with the messed up ones. I haven’t purchased any yet because they are sold out everywhere in Canada
I've managed a Taco Bell and KFC, I'm not sure if things have changed since working there, but I do remember the fries were different. The KFC in the UK I worked at was more like McDonald's fries, in the US, the fries seem to have been battered? They have little flaky bits on them. The taco bell fries are close, but they were different. On a few occasions, we'd have to borrow fries from a KFC owned by the same person as our taco bell store and there was a noticeable difference. This was around 4 to 5 years ago so things might be different now.
I think I "reminded" you of this minis in a comment in your previous video 😅 Sorry, my memory's baaaad. So sorry you didn't get any new ones. Love your videos!
That's NOT how extra crispy works. The regular and extra crispy are actually 2 completely different kinds of breading. And the regular is indeed darker than the extra crispy. The color doesn't come from how long they're fried. It's just that the skin on the regular browns during cooking because it's a much thinner layer of breading. On the extra crispy, the skin is buried under a much thicker layer of breading, which is lighter in color when fried than the skin is.

The original looks darker because the the spices are more visible with less breading.
Cool!!
That actually makes sense lol 🍃
I was looking for this comment. That was my thoughts. More spices would make sense for the darker breading.
Makes sense
Did they tell you guys what the secret spices are?

KFC is gross 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢💩💩💩
KFC IS THE BEST
You should take the lopsided drink and make it into a frozen moment of it looking like it's pouring out of the cup
That's such a great idea
Yessssss! ❤

to find a hair in the mashed potatoes is completely normal at my KFC, its a nice touch Mini Brands included that!
You have so many repeats. Do an entire frozen moments video with them 😉
What a snooze! I too was hopeful there would be more variety. Maybe you can create something with them. You certainly have lots of duplicates to play with!

I would definitely appreciate seeing you group by duplicates when you do these big unboxing videos. It makes it easier to see just what value you're really getting from the large packages.
The light one is Extra Crispy because it's a different batter. The Original is the darker one because you can see the herbs and spices.
Hey GB yes definitely try and get the whole collection but do it in parts so it’s not gonna make you broke hahaa we all are here waiting for you to find some gold hahaha ps: in Australia we call them Chicken Burgers. It’s weird to hear chicken sandwich hahaha I think the cultural differences are amazing. Great video hun. Couldn’t stop laughing about the worker who “didn’t wash their hands” haha
Darker is the original and lighter is the crispy one (used to be spicy)😊
Makes -109 cents
Today is my birthday! I got some KFC minis for my birthday
Happy Birthday 🎂🎊
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s the same here in the uk 😊 I love seeing the differences
The potatoes come with a lid and container here too (US) so it’s odd that the mini looks like that? Not sure lol.
I’ve not seen the pot pie in Aus either. Wouldn’t mind trying it tbh. Slightly different to our KFC
I finally found these at Target yesterday and bought just one ball. I found the 4 loose biscuits on a plate. Not gonna buy anymore though.
I'm sorry you didn't get any of the five items you were hoping for, but at least you didn't have to pay your hard-earned money to not get them.
I dont drink sodas, but when I did, and even now with water, I get it without ice because it makes my teeth hurt.
I am 2 minis away from completing this series. The Gold Fry & biscuits
Heyyoooo so ahem extra crispy is the golde color one because its cooked in what we call a open fryer so it gts to toss and turn. The original is the datker color because we cook it in a pressure fryer and the seasoning mix is a very peppery
I just opened some and got the biscuits! Huge fan and I hope you get them to
the potpies looks how an actual mcdonalds cheeseburger looks irl
Could you make the mashed potatoes look better by using the bowl and gluing some of the potato filling from the miniverse baked potato on top, and then top with a resin that looks like gravy?
That’s crazyy I remember when you were only at 3k subs. 😮
I love when companies can take criticism.
Love your harsh critiquing in this video haha 😂
The lighter chicken is the crispy and the darker is the original recepy. Pretty sure about that.😊
Oh thanks!💛
It would have much more interesting had they packed in retro/discontinued items, or done variant color/flavor Pepsi products, or maybe had the series be Pepsi brand based and you get Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Hut items. Fantastic review! I stumbled across this after searching for videos about the KFC dating sim game. 😅
The mashed potato bow with chicken is my favorite ❤
I’ve got a suggestion for a mini brand video You should get all of your frozen moments and recreate them
Pepsi owns Pizza Hut as well. Which could explain how MB has that as a licensed product too. Sorry you didn’t get to finish your collection. I was routing for you 😊

It is called the famous bowl because those of us who enjoy KFC love the mashed potatoes and gravy.
Hi 👋 sorry I'm commenting a bit late today and I hope you are enjoying your KFC mini brands and I hope you are doing well 😊 and that you're having a happy weekend 😊 and a happy Saturday 😊. Also please remember to take care of yourself ☺️🙏. Also you are amazing 🤩 so keep being you cuz your awesome 👍😎🙏.
Kid Danger: *wearing his mighty pup movie outfit* For the love of Princess Luna! I need to add them to my Foodie mini brands food court!
You should put your duplicates in a giveaway if you don't want them. I would be happy to take them off your hands. 😁 Your voice is really calming. 💓
The lighter one is extra crispy cooked in a open fryer the dark is a original cooked in a presure fryer
Extra crispy is breaded twice
I used to work at kfc. The darker one is original and the lighter one is crispy. It would have been cool if they did a grilled one. Grilled chicken from kfc was so good.

"Extra crispy" means "double battered." it actually cooks slower
I’m missing 5 too!

At 9:52 I really thought you were going to get your tools to open it up and see what’s inside 😂.
The KFC that I go to always fills the cup with ice. I prefer less ice.
I like that tge wrap is small because some of us are on a diet and need portion control help. If you wanted more just buy two, one for each hand bro
no ice. it is already cold when it come out the tap. and you get the soda that you paid for instead of a bunch of ice.
In South Africa 🇿🇦 they do not do Pepsi they only have coke
Turkey pot pie and beef pot pie in the freezer section
The mashed potatoes come across as a mint green. On my phone. Lol
The gravy tastes like beef gravy to me. 😊
I'd keep watching and probably would subscribe to see if you are able to complete the series
Kfc is my favourite restaurant and i love fake food of any variety, i need these!!!
I haven't seen a Kentucky Taco Hut in a minute. They should make kits for that.
About the fries at taco bell, they are different. They both come up on the order sheet, but one is kfc and the other is a different brand. (I have to order the truck sometimes and it's kind of a pain cause all the companies inventories come up that are under our umbrella)
Great video....and yes
The darker one is original recipe. It has the reddish tint.
I think the darker bucket of chicken is spicy bucket of chicken
I like the extra details on these minis but would have been really disappointed with the messed up ones. I haven’t purchased any yet because they are sold out everywhere in Canada
lol I ask for no ice

We don’t have pot pies in Australia. Its seems like an odd menu item 😅
KFC has the best fries.
I got the hole collection except for i golden fryes
I can assure you people DO open these mini brands balls in the store. I’ve seen it far too many times in my Walmart🤦🏻♀️
I work in kfc a d the dark one is spicy chicken wings and the normal colours one is normal chicken
Maybe the color of the plastic affects the zip
Our local KFC lets us fill our own drink cups, so you can get as much or as little ice as you want.
One chicken is spicy and one is regular
I love this channel❤❤❤❤❤
What do you do with the duplicates? And how do you store them? Do you showcase them?
Early squad woo! 🤗
The Famous Bowl is mostly famous because Patton Oswalt made fun of it 😂
Does Zuru also do Taco Bell or Pizza Hut?
I'm no ice. I don't want my drink extra cold. (Unless it's a slushy or shake then it's okay)
That is only half the mystery is it regular or diet 🤔 😂
out of curiosity, what do you use your minis for?, and what do you do with the one you get double of
I believe it's a beef gravy
I noticed a person on Etsy is selling these individually
That's NOT how extra crispy works. The regular and extra crispy are actually 2 completely different kinds of breading. And the regular is indeed darker than the extra crispy.
The color doesn't come from how long they're fried. It's just that the skin on the regular browns during cooking because it's a much thinner layer of breading. On the extra crispy, the skin is buried under a much thicker layer of breading, which is lighter in color when fried than the skin is.
Extra Crispy means more crunky. Original is darker because it has the '11 herbs and spices' seasoning.
All the chicken has the spices. The reason the og is darker is due to the cooking time is the same and less flour
GB YOU SHOULD HAVE WARNED KKKKKKK I'm craving kfc now and there's none in my city
😭
Earlyyyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉
delicious 😆
I miss KFCs wedge fries...
Well..thats ALOT of chicken minis
I only like beef potpie
The rarity system doesn’t make sense to me. I think the only actual rares are the golds, frozen moments and metallics.
Easy ice
In Colorado kfc is soggy and gross but Popeyes are the best
👌🏻👍🏻
have aq small challenge for you T ake 1 or 2 balls and buy what u have opened and do a taste test
Do you want to send me some real KFC cuz I love my KFC original breast and wing with a biscuit and coleslaw
The mashed potatoes and gravy looks like crap
FIRSTTTT! Pin? Love your channel so much!❤❤❤
Early:)
lameeeeeeeeeee (I know it's not your fault GB)
Love!
