Why is KFC using a Soviet spacecraft?

KFC has launched a new add campaign. The question I have, is why are they using a soviet rocket ship?
Here is their new add.

To view the podium and see the close up of the space ship, you have to go here.

This is what American spacecraft look like:

This is what both countries spacecraft look like:


This is what Soviet spacecraft look like:


Notice the similarities.

could be the fact that to get into space today your gonna need to hop a ride on a soviet spacecraft. either way seems like a whole lot of nothing to me

Why is KFC using a Soviet spacecraft?

Because even ET likes original chicken?

Possible brand new KFC menu item:

Chicken Kiev

You just never know.

The new batter will be a GMO/MSG recipe.

KFC: Get your Kremlin Flying Chicken today!

Sputnik Special: only 5 decadent American dollars!

In Soviet Russia: Is not you who fry chicken.
Secret recipe fry you!

So the quick little scene when you see the sandwich through the window of whatever craft it could be. Because of the round window...it's Russian...lol

Outsource like everything else

KFC Artist probaby googled rocket and went with one.
KFC should have googled Zinger.

because soyus is the only way to space currently

My guess is that Russia is socially conservative and is the right's new darling and KFC markets to them?

As in support Trump and be homophobic with one simple purchase?

Or... Maybe they just like rockets.

??!? Really?!? With everything going on in the world and you are worried about how KFC launches chicken into space?

The first thing I would ask is why they want to send fried chicken to space.

KFC needs to get back to doing the one thing they used to do right.
Originial Recipe chicken.
The chicken they now call originial recipe is not the originial recipe.
Original original recipe was all moist and delicious, you would take a bite and grease would run down your chin...
So good.
Now it sucks.

I blame fat people.

...And liberals.

I blame liberal fat people.

Honestly, I couldn't care less. Overpriced, horrible service, and they don't even serve actual honey for their biscuits, handing out this nasty corn syrup crap, instead. The ad itself is plain silly. What's the point of sending a sandwich to space? Are they planning to feed them to aliens?

Think I'll stick with Chick-Fil-A, for my chicken sandwiches!

KFC is a global company.

They even have restaurants in (gasp!) EVIL RUSSIA!

www.kfc.ru...

I want to live in a world where a chicken can cross the road, (or fly into space) without having its motives questioned.

Of course the unhinged russia/trump conspiracy theorists will see this as proof of "collusion".

And notice how close KFC is to KGB!

The letters g and b are only one letter away from f and c!

Kind of like IBM is to HAL 2000.

I thought that was very funny and was going to say maybe it is a merger with the makers of Chicken Kiev (Ok so Kiev is in he Ukrain but hey I still remember it being a major soviet city so forgive me).

Jokes aside this was very well spotted and show's your/Violater1's fine attention to the detail most non space savvy people have missed.

Actually the US military has always had capability of putting it's own payloads into space and perhaps method's that you simply won't hear about that they want to keep secret for strategic reason's such as the possibility of magnetic acceleration launchers built below some of the more infamous facility's such as Area 51 and also the potential and I believe actually of rail gun based launching system's capable of both anti ballistic missile defense and also of solid state payload delivery into orbit.

Still whenever I see Russian space program's my mind is cast back to that audio transmission picked up by the Italian radio ham's before Yuri Gagarin ever got launched, they heard and recorded a Russian astronaut with female voice and sadly also heard her burn up on a failed re-entry, how many people the Soviet's in the old day's sacrificed for there space glory race though is likely to never be known even after all this time.

Now back to the point you make, in the 70's most US kid's probably knew there space craft by heart, even in the 80's and this substitution of a soviet rocket (which is down to the ad agency rather than KFC themselves and may be from film stock, show's they were not willing to pay for good CGI as well) is something they never would have gotten away with until the public lost interest in the space program.
