Question: What famous fast-food chain began as a gas station product?

Answer: It’s Kentucky Fried Chicken. Back in 1930, Harland Sanders was running a Shell gas station in North Corbin, Kentucky, when he converted a storeroom into a tiny dining area and started serving fried chicken off his own kitchen table. The side hustle took off, and the rest is 11-herbs-and-spices history.
