KFC painted a portrait of the man who spotted their Twitter joke

A remarkable discovery was made last month.

One lone Twitter investigator uncovered a secret. A golden, crunchy and spiced secret.

Twitter user @edgette22 discovered that KFC follows only 11 people on Twitter: 5 Spice Girls and 6 guys named Herb.

KFC has now commissioned a painting to celebrate the eagle-eyed spot for all eternity.

Dreams do come true. If your dream is a portrait of you being piggybacked by Colonel Sanders on a hike with a drumstick in one hand, that is.
