I basically feel the same way as you'll when it comes to the new Colonel
The person who designed these new happy meal mascots was probably trying to go for that minion design but failed horribly imo.
He was given the honorary title 'Kentucky Colonel' in 1935 by Governor Ruby Laffoon. Sanders chose to call himself 'Colonel' and to dress in a stereotypical 'Southern gentleman' style as a way of self-promotion."
