    someone confirm for the KFC sydney myers food court?

    • Is that the Myers next to the Harvey Normans? Or the one near Coles's?

    • +2

      Confirmed for Myer foodcourt opposite Westfield Sydney

  • +3

    Had one today on the way to work. Personally think this is better now with inclusion of pop corn chicken over the chicken roll you use to get.

  • I presume this excludes Brisbane once again?

    • +13

      you already get your year-round hot and spicy and 9for~$10 tuesdays. what more do you want? :P

      • +14

        Free :Þ

      Just bought a $5 lunch box in Brisbane cbd 5 minutes ago. Though its an extra dollar for a drink.

      • +2

        That's a 20% price premium, no deal!

      • +2

        I hopes its advertised & I don't have to try and explain what it is to them.

        • Being The Stig, I can't imagine the explaining going too well for you.

          …thinking about it, what are you doing talking on a forum?

    • i saw it at MacArthur Central yesterday

      KFC QLD is owned by a different master franchiser than the rest of the country http://www.kfcqld.com.au/

  • can gravy be swapped for an up-size on the drink?

    • depends on the person behind the counter.

    • no, unless you get someone willing to break the rules rather than confront you

  • Saw a a sign at maccas rosehill $5 for what they call a 'snack attack' ..similar to this but you get dessert as well

    • Maccas sells fried chicken now?

      • They're right next to each other at Rosehill, so I think that's what he was referring to.

        • +5

          yep and hooters is there as well if you want to know

      • They used to back in the 80's. Maybe they still have the big deep fryer out the back.

    went to my local kfc store to pick on of these babies up after work but was denied and the little trainee told me to leave or buy something :( 1 leik 1 crii

    • +13

      had trouble picking up? was the trainee out of your league?

      • +20

        She was probably offended when he offered 5 bucks for her lol

        • +33

          must have misunderstood what the "$5 box" actually was

        • bahaha +1 to all. Would chuckle again.

        • You win :D

      • +4

        Mate you're there to pickup the chicken, not the chicks =p

    • +9

      i cry evryteim :(

  • Checked for Adelaide stores, basically any store NOT in the city will have this deal.

    • Not true. Tried getting this deal 3pm Friday at Edwarstown SA & they never heard of the deal :(

  • Not as good as the Streetwise $5 box, which replaces the popcorn chicken with a charger sub, in my opinion. But still excellent value!

  • +1

    +1 from my kids who are on their way to get some now :P

  • +10

    2968kj…. A minute on the lip = lifetime on the hip

    • 2968kj….

      Thats only if you choose the "diet" option of pepsi max.

      But hey, its only $5. Just chuck the popcorn chicken in the bin, and you've got a tasty meal that won't give you diabetes.

    • +3

      That's about the size of the average meal, maybe even less. What's the issue? The entire thing is barely 700 calories.

      For reference, a single bacon deluxe from hungry jacks has around that much kilojoules (2861kj).

      • -1

        coz you'll be feeling hungry and have a headache about 90 minutes later….. not all calories are created equal

        • +8

          Yes, actually, they are. The meal is fairly well balanced and high in protein, what makes you think it will not achieve satiety?

          This is pretty funny. Yesterday someone claims to have an "allergy" to artificial sweeteners and gets "headaches," now you claim to get headaches from fried chicken.

          I wonder if people have heard of a condition known as "whining," which seems to be something users of Ozbargain often suffer from.

        • Not sure what you were saying here, but lots of people get headaches from KFC, my wife & I included. They must use MSG because we have an insatiable thirst and headache well into day 2 after eating it.

        • +1

          Gets headache after eating at KFC.
          Complains on KFC's Facebook page.
          Gets 200,000 likes.
          Goes back to KFC next week anyway.

        • Probably you eat it everyday and addicted to it.

        • Lol, of course they have MSG.
          Most takeaway and fast foods use MSG… why do you think people keep comming back?

        • The truth? Because people are lazy, LOL.

        • Thats why the 11 herbs and spices are secret, have you tasted pure MSG? It tastes exactly like KFC.

        • No. Calories are not created equal because the body does not metabolise all the food we eat. (If it did, alcoholics would be enormous for example).

  • Can you swap the potato & gravy for another side? chips?

    • +4

      I usually swap for coleslaw

    • No you can't swap anything. I asked if I could, they said no.

      • why would some want 2 sides of potato?

        • I know an Irish bloke who order chips with his mash at regular restaurants. He would go a 3rd potato side if he could.

      • Which store was this?

  • +1

    Went to hurstville NSW Westfield store. They gave me a small cup of drink, no can, a very tiny wings, chips, popcorn chicken and gravy. I think the previous lunch box was better.they said the promo will run for 6 weeks only.

  • +3

    It's always bizarre telling female drive-thru clerks that I'd like "the box" (or "their box"). Even more so prefacing it with the words "5 dollars". Is it just me?

    • +10

      It's just you.

    • +9

      Just phrase it so that it doesn't sound as creepy "Can I eat your box? I've got $5?"

    • Ask for their 'lunch box' or '$5 box'

      • +1

        The joke. I think you missed it.

  • +2

    Morbid Obesity, here I come..!

    • What I do is figure out the calories, then spend all that time doing cardio to balance it out. Its counter productive really, but then you don't have to worry about obesity. Just cholesterol and bad health instead. :D

  • Me like

  • +2

    $5x2 meals a day x 7 = $70 a week, very good feast for your money if you don't mind gaining an extra few pounds

    • And a heart attack after a few months :P

    On a technicality, the 10-piece wicked wing pack works out to $1.39 per wing, yet the 3-piece wing pack works out to $1.16ea. Where's the bulk discount incentive there?

  • Any guesses as to what's in that 'popcorn' ?

    • +2

      Chicken?

      • Not pink slime™?

          'MERICA!

    • Years ago I knew a guy that often bought their nuggets. Well, that is, until I started calling them chicken tumours. :-D

    • chicken…

      imo popcorn chicken tastes normal and i prefer it over the chicken roll

  • man, OzB loves their takeaway junk food.

  • +3

    KFC is one of the only major fast food chain that doesn't advertise the longevity of their promotions and that includes the 9 pieces for $9.95 as well, why? is it because they want people to buy as many times as possible before it ends? whatever the reason, I think it's embarrassing for anyone to find out the promotion is no longer running when they're about to order, and then having to order from KFC's very expensive menu. They have limited broadcasting when the promotions draws to an end, only saying "hurry, days left", that isn't very informative.

    • +3

      Atleast they don't have those good charlotte hypocrites advertising for them anymore.

      • Probably aren't hypocrites, they do 'good' stuff for image when in reality they couldnt give a toss.

  • Swap the potato and gravy for 2 pieces of chicken and you've got a deal

    • Will never ever happen. IMO drop the popcorn chicken for another piece of chicken and its pretty good (makes it a quarter chicken + chips + potato and gravy + drink for $5)

  • +4

    KFC never fail to disappoint - eaten there maybe two or three times since purchasing a "battered chicken ribcage" burger many years ago… yum!

    Just went thru Morphett Vale / Reynella drive thru … "we don't have the $5 box". Good on ya!

  • sydney city myer foodcourt opposite westfield able to swap potato with coleslaw.
    but yeah, wing so small. this $5 wont make you full but just ok

    • +1

      And its almost 700 calories worth of empty stomach. lol
