In line with the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations KFC cheekily illustrates budding relationships between strangers of polar opposites over a bucket of KFC.
The thought behind KFC’s “The Bucket Sessions” is also to show that Malaysians have a lot more in common than they think – their love for food is one of it.
Using food as an icebreaker participants in the ad share stories, listen and connect with one another over a meal.
Naga’s idea of this social experiment is to further strengthen the idea of camaraderie among Malaysians. Naga’s Executive Creative Director, Alvin Teoh, quoted, “We believe that Malaysians are generally a friendly bunch and all it takes for friendship to happen is a simple conversation. What more a better way to ignite one over a bucket of KFC?”
With KFC being the catalyst in this experiment, it enables our participants to open up to a budding friendship of sharing common grounds, different cultures and mutual acceptance.
Alvin adds, “We put complete strangers in a room, served them some fried chicken, gave them something talk about and then gave it a free reign to go wherever it needs to go, demonstrating that among Malaysians, there are really no strangers, just friends waiting to happen. That’s what this film is about.”
