Question: What year did Colonel Sanders kick the bucket!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

~From everything I've read about him, Harland Sanders had a nasty temper!. Every time he visited a store and they had made the gravy wrong or only used 9 of the eleven secret spices, he kicked a bucket (along with the store manager's butt)!.

By all accounts of those closest to him, he died on May 12, 1973!. A look alike was hired to keep the momentum of the chain and his advertising campaign going!. The corporate bosses finally decided to kill off the icon and his "death" was reported as having occurred on December 16, 1980!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
