If you think veggie burgers and plant-based sandwiches are the same thing, think again.
Nostalgic fans of KFC's classic veggie burgers want the original recipe to be brought back to their stores, and many are calling for the fast food chain to make changes.

The petition was started by Prabhupreet Gill, a self-proclaimed “long-time customer” who is “disappointed” by KFC's recent changes to its plant-based burgers.
“The original KFC veggie burger was loved not only by me but by many others,” the Brampton resident wrote in a change.org petition.
“This is a unique product in a market dominated by meat products, offering an alternative for vegetarians and people looking to reduce their meat consumption.”
Gill added, “The new version simply doesn't taste as good as the old one.”

Many KFC enthusiasts seem to agree with Gill's sentiments, with more than 325 people signing the petition so far.
One person wrote: “Nostalgic. Fast food restaurants need more veggie options.”
Another added that he was a “huge fan” of the veggie burger before it was removed from the menu.
“I haven't had a KFC burger since,” they wrote. “But if I were to come back, I would love it.”

As the fast food chain expands its plant-based offerings, KFC is now offering a plant-based sandwich as an alternative to chicken.
Can KFC listen to its customers and bring back a fan favorite?
“By reviving old recipes, KFC will be responding to consumer demand and respecting diverse food tastes,” Gill added.
“This petition is not just about personal preference. It's about giving customers what they want and need.”
