The Twitter account of the global fast-food giant KFC has more than 1.2 million followers, but it follows only five English women and six men in return. They're all certified accounts.
The women include Victoria Beckham, Mel B, and Geri Halliwell.
The men include a musician, a journalist, a Green Bay Packers player, a college football coach, and the Los Angeles City Council president.
The men have one thing in common: They're all named Herb. And the women are all former Spice Girls, which (drumroll…) gives KFC 11 Herbs and Spices.
We have Twitter's Mike Edgette, the social-media manager at TallGrass PR, to thank for solving one of the biggest mysteries since Stephen Hawking tackled Black Hole Theory.
We dip our hat to you, sir.
.@KFC follows 11 people.
Those 11 people? 5 Spice Girls and 6 guys named Herb.
11 Herbs & Spices. I need time to process this.
