KFC’s all-you-can-eat buffets are not just a myth, they still exist.
In the 1980s, KFC buffets were pretty plentiful, but by the time the next decade rolled around, societal tastes had shifted and many locations ditched the steam tables and hot plates for good. Still, several of them survived well into the 21st century until the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, and huge numbers of buffets halted for good, leaving a precious few to search and find.

In Defense Of That Whole Weird ’90s Rock Marble-Mouthed Thing | Defector
Something happened to rock singers’ voices at some point in the early ’90s. Jaws locked, tongues stuck to palates, and every syllable became saturated with a swampy viscosity. This was a swing of the stylistic pendulum away from the high, pinched tones of hair metal: Joe Elliott’s keening on Def Leppard’s “Animal,” Bret Michaels’s whole weird deal where he sounds like he’s sucking on helium even in his lowest register. The new crop of singers still screamed and howled, but they spent most of their time in murkier territory. “Black hole sun, won’t you come,” went Chris Cornell’s rumbling invocation; “I’m the man in the box, buried in my shit,” Alice in Chains’s Layne Staley groaned, slightly less articulately. The consensus among these singers seemed to be that the voice should cruise low and soupy, that syllables shouldn’t be articulated so much as folded into a thick paste of consonants. When Staley stretches out a harmonized Yeah in “Man in the Box,” his tongue creeps upward, giving the word a light phasing effect, as if he is falling in slow motion, or perhaps being buried alive.
