KFC Twitter But the story gets even better. A couple of weeks after Edgette, who goes by the Twitter handle @edgette22, made his epic discovery, he was sent a special gift from KFC's marketing company: a giant portrait that features Edgette on the shoulders of Colonel Sanders, against the backdrop of a picturesque mountain range at sunset. As of press time, the major fried chicken chain has 1.25 million Twitter followers, but they only follow 11 people. Geforce 7200 gs windows 10 driver. But don’t worry, there’s a method to their madness—and it’s hilarious.
Last month, KFC blew the Internet’s collective mind with an Easter egg hiding in plain site on the fast food chain’s Twitter account. See, KFC is following exactly 11 people on Twitter: all five of the Spice Girls and six random dudes named “Herb,” including a few musicians and athletes, the President of the Los Angeles City Council, and the head of the Tijuana Brass. As in, “11 herbs and spices,” referencing Colonel Sanders’ top secret fried chicken recipe.
The gag was first pointed out on Twitter by user Mike Edgette, who wrote at the time, “@KFC follows 11 people. Those 11 people? 5 Spice Girls and 6 guys named Herb. 11 Herbs & Spices. I need time to process this.” Edgette’s tweet went insanely viral as others picked up on the joke, which was retweeted over 300,000 times. Naturally, this brought a not insignificant amount of publicity to KFC — and deservedly so, credit where credit is due — so the company decided to do something nice for the guy who decoded their riddle.
Last weekend Edgette posted an update, tweeting, “Dreams DO come true. #GiddyUpColonel,” with photos of a glorious, personalized work of art sent to him from KFC, worthy of hanging alongside some of the masterpieces in the Louvre or the Met, if we’re being honest.

Although if KFC wanted to do something really nice they could have also given him the exact 11 herbs and spices recipe, but of course if they told him they’d also probably have to kill him. Maybe just stick with the painting.
If you want to be immortalized by your favorite fast food restaurant, you just need to decode their social media presence.
KFC recently sent a gift to Mike Edgette, the man who recently discovered something clever about the fast food chain's twitter account.
Remember this special tweet from last month?
.@KFC follows 11 people.
Those 11 people? 5 Spice Girls and 6 guys named Herb.
11 Herbs & Spices. I need time to process this.

Edgette tweeted back in October that KFC’s twitter account followed five spice girls and six random guys named Herb, which adds up to KFC’s famous 11 herbs and spices recipe.

The tweet got a lot of attention, the internet’s mind was blown, and KFC decided to send a painting to commemorate Edgette’s discovery.
Which is probably the most unexpected response possible.
Dreams DO come true. #GiddyUpColonel

Edgette told Mashable, “I cry a little every time I look at it. Tears of joy.”
In the painting, Colonel Sanders is giving a piggyback ride to Edgette while he bravely wields a fried drumstick. There are mountains in the background along majestic wildlife. It looks like KFC’s interpretation of a classic American landscape, just with two fried chicken fanatics.
Edgette said he got a message from KFC on Twitter Friday night saying that he would be receiving a package the next day. And lo, it came the next day with a special letter from a certain, long-deceased colonel.
“The doorbell rang and a giant package was sitting on my doorstep,” said Edgette. He figured the painting was a gift from KFC for his tweet going viral.
Edgette also acknowledged the theories bubbling up online that he may have been part of a PR stunt.
Huh. So apparently I'm an undercover spy that works for @kfc and/or @WiedenKennedy. Weird. I feel like I would know that. But I guess the Internet is smarter than me.https://t.co/MM8zYtK1rk

“I know that’s the conspiracy theory going around. But no, never worked with KFC or Yum brands or anything like that and neither has the company I work for, TallGrass PR,” said Edgette.
KFC also sent him 52 gift cards worth $5 each. Edgette explained that the painting is currently hanging in his living room.
