The Twitter account of 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 six men include a musician, journalist, a Green Bay Packers player, a university football coach, and the LA city council president.
The men have one thing in common: They’re all called Herb.
The woman are all former Spice Girls, which — drumroll — gives KFC ... 11 Herbs and Spices.
We have Twitter’s Mike Edgette, social-media manager at Tall Grass 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.
