Why, exactly, does the statement about "KenTaco Hut" need a citation? It's common slang. What sources are acceptable citations for that sort of thing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.35.208.21 (talk • contribs) .

Despite having several "Taco Bell/KFC" locations in Memphis (and recently, one "Taco Bell/Long John Silvers"), I'd never heard of "KenTaco Hut", or its variations. -- Cybertronian 03:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Here in Colorado Springs, I've heard more than a few people refer to our Taco Bell / Pizza Hut combinations as "TacoHutPizzaBell"s. Why that matters any, I don't know, but it seemed relevant. People are odd. 70.56.243.61 22:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but that fails Wikipedia:Reliable sources; a user edit to a "dictionary" that more readers disapprove of than approve of? It would be better unsourced, IMO. Calbaer 23:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Brands?

I thought YUM! Brands operated other restaurants? Moorematthews 20:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

You are worried that seven different chains is too focused, perhaps? —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 07:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Names?

At some point during the 1980s and 1990s, I think Yum! Brands (or a subsidary/predecessor) was publicly traded under the name National Pizza Company. Upon visiting a Pizza Hut in 1992 or 1993, a tractor-trailer delivering fresh inventory with "National Pizza Co." printed on it also carried the Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and "KFC" (not Kentucky Fried Chicken) logos. (I suspect 1992, because they also had the basketball arcade game "Arch Rivals" in the waiting area.) -- Cybertronian 03:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

NPC is one of the largest franchisees (is that even a word?) of YUM! restaurants, in particular Pizza Hut. TheMan232 04:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A&W In Canada

A&Ws have in fact been in Canada for a while now. 74.110.100.191 03:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coca Cola in Pizza Hut

Coca Cola Products are Sold in Central (Harrisburg Market) and Western (Erie Market) Pennsylvania Pizza Hut locations. Herb Riede 14:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias on the YUM! Page

First off, the rainforest animal abuse or whatever and all other critical fields need to be merged into one. Secondly, there is no citation for any of this and I think words like "refuse" are kinda harsh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Okluschen (talk • contribs)

[edit] Other

"mistreating and/or torturing its chickens in horrible ways." - is there a nice way to mistreat/torture chickens?

Yes. Yes there is. Not very nice for the chicken, but nice nonetheless. Also, Taco John's is a popular northern restaurant chain and does not belong in the article. I say that here because I know someone will revert it if I make the edit.Tarkaan 00:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subsidiary of PepsiCo?

What ownership interest does PepsiCo have? Not mentioned on Morningstar or Yahoo. Morningstar's PepsiCo report refers only to its divestiture of Yum in 1997. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badams5115 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
