The happy customer shared photos of the Kentucky Snack Pack she ordered from the secret menu, which included fries loaded with popcorn chicken, and cost her only $5.95 despite its "huuuuge" size.

Others shared their own experiences with the Kentucky Snack Pack, with some suggesting the portion sizes are unpredictable. "I got it tonight and was blown away by the size of it for $5.95," one customer wrote. "I've ordered this twice and have always had leftovers," responded another.

"Sometimes it's really full and amazing value, other times it's a glorified Go Bucket and presents little value," a disappointed KFC fan warned. "I must've just been unlucky or whoever made mine was in a horrible mood," commented someone else.
