>In Japan, eating KFC for Christmas is a unique cultural tradition that originated from a brilliant marketing campaign in the 1970s, offering a substitute for a traditional American turkey dinner that was difficult to find in Japan. Today, millions of families pre-order KFC for Christmas dinner, treating it as the de facto national holiday meal despite Japan's small Christian population.
>>21606368I have always thought this was the strangest thing.
>>21606368Not gonna lie it looks delicious
>>21606375Lol enjoy the ballwater?
>>21606368Imagine eating greasy fast food @ Christmas.Must be hell to be them.
Imagine all the vinegary Japanese shits the following morning
>>21606368Why do japs even celebrate this christian holiday?
>>21606839They enjoy mixing and matching religious stuff. That's why they're shinto and Buddhist. Christianity got thrown in the mix a long time ago.
>>21606839>pagan decorations>consumerism and decadenceIt's pretty secularized. I hear in Japan that Christmas is considered a romantic holiday.
>>21606839according to my japanese animays, confessing to your crush receiving the sex
There's an urban legend that a department store in Japan was confused about the holiday and ended up with Santa on a cross as a Christmas decoration.
>>21606738They can easily afford the healthiest food on earth but voluntarily choose to eat KFC for whatever reason
>>21606914Kek
>>21606914Yeah but they forgot the loincloth so you got to see his jingle balls
>>21606368Guy who came up with this also ran campaign that was : If we keep eating fried chicken for long enough we will turn whiteWhich isnt all bullshit cause japanese diet was mostly fish and rice till europeans arrived to trade which led to flow of ingridients spices and recipes from outside of japan
>>21606839Because unlike abrahmics, culturally pagan people don't mind sharing occasions of joy with other people. It's just a chance to celebrate, get together with friends and family and eat good meals. Decorating a tree (although nips don't do this) is a fun, low effort, low investment activityThis is exactly what all festivals should be about. A very minor amount of debauchery won't hurtYou ever wonder why pagan festivals are so popular? Because they remove all pretense and freely admit "we're just here to have fun" This includes hindi, buddhist and other pagan festivals
>>21606914Lmao
>>21609660You're actually wrong because I disagree with you. I will not elaborate.
>>21609660Imagine being this historically illiterate
>>21609742>>21609779If you knew more about Christianity you would know the Bible literally tells Christians not to decorate trees like pagans. You don't actually know your own supposed beliefs.
>>21606368KFC Japan is much higher quality than KFC America.>>21606839Christmas in the 21st century is not a religious holiday anywhere.>>21609882Cite the Bible verse that says that.
>>21609882>people across the world are returning to their pagan roots after centuries of abrahmics tomfooleryBASED. Really what is wrong with believing in nature spirits, appreciating earth and it's bounty? I would much rather believe in fantastical gods who can shoot lightning than a god that tells me to love my enemies and be merciful (??)
>>21606914kek
>>21606977For the lulz
>>21606797
And Jewish people order Chinese for Christmas here. I don't see the issue
>>21606368you guys heard that KFC brought back potato wedges?That shit was SO GOOD. I will buy that shit again just to go back
