It seems somewhat peculiar that KFC would follow only 11 people on its official Twitter account.
And the fact that one of them would be a former N.C. State University men’s basketball head coach might seem outright bizarre.
Herb Sendek, who coached the Wolfpack from 1996 to 2006, was indeed one of the 11 on KFC’s list from Thursday to Friday – but why? He’s hardly the most famous among them.
The answer is in his name — and those of five others on the exclusive list, also named “Herb.” The other five members are the Spice Girls, the complement to a pun that has gained much attention since a Twitter user put five and six together on Thursday.
