Global fast food giant KFC revealed to customers this week it would be using a curious blend of lettuce and cabbage on its burgers as the result of supply chain disruptions.
The fried chicken purveyor has struggled to get enough lettuce to meet the demands of its hungry customers after heavy flooding on the east coast wiped out much of this year’s lettuce crop, while intermittent rains have made it harder to replant fresh crops as well.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has even weighed in on the discussion, describing cabbage replacing lettuce on burgers as a crisis during a radio interview.
Today on Please Explain, tech editor Nick Bonyhady joins Nathanael Cooper to discuss the astonishing price of the humble lettuce. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. |
