How An LA City Councilman Helped KFC Win The Internet
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — With apologies to other members of the Los Angeles City Council, Herb Wesson is now officially the most famous council member - thanks to KFC.
It all started when Twitter user @edgette22 took a second look at the 11 accounts KFC follows on the social media platform.
To review, that's five original Spice Girls - Geri Horner, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Victoria Beckham - and six verified Herbs: Wesson, Herb Scribner, Herb Waters, Herb Dean, Herb Sendek, and Herb Alpert.
Eleven Herbs and Spices in total - the same as KFC's "original recipe".
Wesson celebrated his inclusion on the list by posting a photo of himself and a bucket of chicken.
It's a revelation that has some crowning KFC - whose eccentric campaign of multiple actors portraying Colonel Sanders has garnered more than a million followers - as the most unexpectedly genius corporate accounts on Twitter.
