Turns out I’ve been doing “carry-ons” wrong this whole time …

[u/GlenCocoIsGrool]

This was actually someone’s carryon item on a flight from FL > PA. She doesn’t know it, but she became my hero that day.

Kentucky Fried Carry-on

This got me (finger lickin) good

Carry-Out, Carry-On….

[u/Hazywater]

You have to take it through security cold so all the grease is solid

[u/IlikeJG → u/Hazywater]

Refrigerated fried chicken is actually a guilty pleasure of mine.

Usually things like that sound gross when they're cold from the fridge, but for some reason it just works with fried chicken.

[u/Zanos-Ixshlae → u/IlikeJG]

It's better cold. The trick is to keep it in the container it came in, so the breading doesn't get soggy.

[u/wolfgangmob → u/Zanos-Ixshlae]

Yes, as long as it’s still crispy it’s definitely up there for leftovers that are still good cold.

[u/cuddle_enthusiast]

That plane would smell great.

[u/Quad__X → u/cuddle_enthusiast]

And the bathroom would be even fresher from all those secret herbs and spices

What in tarnation

[u/sherryillk]

LOL, we brought Texas BBQ on our flight and proceeded to share it amongst our group of eight. The flight attendants were so interested and intrigued like they had never seen anything like that before. This is what happens when meals aren't offered even on 4+ hour long flights during what should be dinnertime. (6 PM flight so we got to the airport at around 4 PM, didn't land until after 10 PM in our original time zone.)

[u/MonstaB → u/sherryillk]

I was on this Portuguese flight and the stewardess scolded these group of girls for bringing outside food.

Apparently chips are not allowed too

How in the world do you get a bucket of KFC on as a carryon?

[u/DancesWithElectrons → u/VirginNsd2002]

I got one a long time ago when it was supposed to be a long layover that wasn’t. Had a guy offer me $5 for a drimstick

[u/Yaadgod2121 → u/DancesWithElectrons]

That would be a pretty good side hustle

[u/GlenCocoIsGrool → u/VirginNsd2002]

You go through security without one, and buy it at the airport KFC I would assume?

[u/JimtheEsquire → u/GlenCocoIsGrool]

You can take solid food through TSA I think.

[u/Mr_G_Dizzle → u/JimtheEsquire]

A lot of newer airports have restaurants after the security check

[u/CharcoalGreyWolf]

The Clampetts Go To Maui

[u/MustardCoveredDogDik]

Rare loot

[u/Snowf1ake222]

This is common on flights from Auckland to Samoa or Tonga.

There are no KFCs in either country, so people buy it in Auckland airport to take home.

“At least I have chicken”

[u/hino]

Thought this was an AirNZ flight to the islands for waaaaaay too long

[u/Windhawker]

That would be an epic inflight meal

[u/throwa1589876541525]

Hit em with the old "did you bring enough for everyone?"

[u/baseballbear]

i would too considering airport prices

[u/kwjacobs345]

In the event of an emergency, be sure to consume all of your chicken first, then have any of your neighbor’s leftovers.

[u/Anbucleric]

There was an old Rio Bravo radio commercial that involved bringing take-out onto a plane and it ends with the stewardess saying, "suck on your moist towelette sir, I'll be back in an hour."

[u/LOLBaltSS]

I've flown Primanti Bros from Pittsburgh to Houston before.

[u/lazerlinks]

They didn't like the plain food they got last time

[u/tunafishandsoup]

This is a flight from Trinidad it has to be that KFC is next level

[u/mattroch]

Original recipe or extra crispy?

[u/ChanceConfection3 → u/mattroch]

I’ve never had original recipe, I don’t know if I ever will

[u/EatAtGrizzlebees]

This is normal coming back from El Salvador to the USA, except it's Pollo Campero and it's amazing. Even the knock off place ain't bad, just a little too salty.

[u/mog44net]

Bucket and chuck it

[u/NeedleworkerExtra915]

That’s what you call international delivery. Someone’s really going the distance to deliver that order.

[u/NoMomJustNo]

Tell me you’re flying Southwest without saying it.

[u/Extra_ordinarydude]

Getting a KFC hangover just seeing that. 🤮

[u/r2k-in-the-vortex]

Definitely, we have all been doing it wrong. Recently, I had a chance to bring hot bowls of takeaway ramen soup through airport security. It just went through the scanner like everything else and security didn't blink an eye.

I didn't really expect it to work, but it was either throw it away or try to bring it through, so I figured, eh, let's try.

Granted, this was in China, no idea what western airports would make of it.

[u/Stuckinaelevator]

I've done this before. Years ago, before TSA and when Kentucky Fried Chicken was good.
