Here is the video description from the commercial posted to YouTube by KFC

"In some cultures, people waste gold on things like jewelry or “currency” they can exchange for goods and services. Hahaha— can you imagine? Well, guess what? It’s time to stop wasting gold and time to start eating it. New KFC Georgia Gold Honey-Mustard BBQ."

I find this incredibly fascinating! There are several alchemical references here in these commercials released by KFC. There are three that are certainly worth mentioning.

Starting out there is a reference in the first video to eating gold. It references the consumption of gold as a means of success. He also feeds it to the fish

In the next video there is a reference to the "Higher Self" the two characters are clearly implied by the rock paper scissors escapade to be aspects of the same person.

And Lastly there is a reference here in this video to the cooking of gold, a process by which gold is made to be consumable.
