Inference to the Best Explanation

Fast food chains are always trying to create new and exciting products in hope of getting people hooked on them, telling their friends about it and coming back again and again for more. A good example of this is McDonald's Value Menu. Prior to it's inception, a meal from McDonalds could put you out 10 bucks and still not fill your stomach. Now, you can purchase two double cheeseburgers and an chilling ice coffee for 5 bucks less 30 cents (although the ice coffee isn't on the value menu), and actually get full!

On the other hand, there are some chains that attempt to do what McDonald's did a few years ago but fail miserably, like KFC (Killing Fulfilling Comestibles). Recently, they re-introduced (?) "Chicken Bowls", with "Layers of Flavour". The picture on their website and on the coupons I have show one of said bowls deconstructed, with cheese, pieces of chicken and corn magically floating above a black plastic bowl filled with mash potatoes and gravy.

Obviously, this was meant as comfort food. I mean, what's more unhealthy than fried chicken on mashed potatoes covered with melted cheese and gravy? So today I visited the local KFC and purchased one of these bowls, hoping to experience the euphoria usually associated with dumping a bucket of popcorn chicken in one's mouth.

Turns out, the chicken bowls are a big disappointment. They don't look half as appetizing as they do on paper, and there is a mysterious absence of cheese as well (my bowl did not have nearly as much as cheese as the bowl pictured above has). There isn't enough chicken either, and the potatoes are bland and tasteless, even when slathered with gravy. And most of all, it just doesn't work. You know how some things taste great together? Like pepperoni pizza and garlic seasoning? Chicken, corn, cheese and gravy just don't do it for me.I definitely won't be buying more chicken bowls any time soon.

p.p.s p.s does not stand for "please see", as most people assume but rather is derived from the latin post scriptum, meaning "after text", or "after script", usually placed at the end of a letter or article.
