If there was Onion within KFC_OR it would have to be openly reveled within the ingredients label by law, just as for Garlic. It isn't. And I doubt that the proverbial "Grandfathering" can be used whereby to brush this away.
Garlic is always listed as the last and therefore least ingredient. Ingredients must be listed from the most prominent by weight to the least prominent by weight.
And lastly, how on earth does one stuff a requisite 100 ounces of H&S plus massive MSG and ballpark 15-20% of the "overall" Salt into a 26 ounce bag. On the other forum the case has been made that the bags have always been 26 ounce, and the likes of 32 and 40 ounce bags only came later.

For those that laugh at "bags", KFC has been selling its "bags" of pre-weighed and pre-measured H&S mix to its franchises since the mid/late 50's. How else would they market it to the franchises?
In the 50's were the "bags" already laced with extracts and flavor enhancers? If so, then no franchise has ever cooked the original secret recipe, and anyone pursuing it is chasing a phantom!
As I've stated before, CHS likely took the "real" original 1940 "locked" recipe to his grave.

Did the first CHS franchise open in 1952?

Did the first CHS franchise open in 1952? I ask this because the story goes that MSG was not added until that fateful boating convention related cooking session in 1955. And because I do not believe that the ingredient added to the boaters chicken was MSG, but rather I believe it was in the coating well before then. Campbell's Soups (for example) have had MSG added since around 1930, and MSG has been around commercially since 1908 ... MSG may have been in the 1940 recipe for all we know.

Well what wouldn't make sense is pre or early franchise bags being 26oz and then something gets added. And the bags are still 26oz.

Allspice is my current 'best' guess. And two handfuls into 25 Lbs. of flour sounds just about perfect. Before then he probably used Clove.
Add Allspice, and get rid of Clove, Nutmeg, and potentially Cinnamon thereby, and the "bag" weight does not need to change.

A substitution makes sense to keep weight the same. But doesn't fit the story.
I wonder if the pre 1955 bags were not 26?
Could pre 1955 franchises received more of a bulk format. Say 4 or 5 lb bags and they measured it out.
I wonder if MSG was that item. The inclusion of it allowed a reduction in overall seasonings?
