Cluckin' Bell is most likely based on [[wp:Taco Bell|Taco Bell]] and [[wp:KFC|KFC]]. Taco Bell uses a bell logo, KFC serves fried chicken, and both companies are owned by the same parent corporation. KFC has several (untrue) urban legends attributed to it, including serving someone fried rat and growing mutant chickens with multiple sets of body parts. The company has also been the target of animal rights protesters over their use of factory farming and mistreatment of their chickens before slaughter. Its name is also a seeming euphemism of ''fucking hell'', probably inspired by the real-life [[wp:Cluck-U Chicken|Cluck-U Chicken]]. | Cluckin' Bell is most likely based on [[:wp:Taco Bell|Taco Bell]] and [[wp:KFC|KFC]].

In the [[GTA III Era|GTA III's]] [[GTA III era Timeline|continuity]], Cluckin' Bell was established in [[1982]]. In [[1992]] (the setting of GTA San Andreas) the company ran two advertisements on local media. The first commercial states that Cluckin' Bell breed chickens with "Six wings, forty breasts" quickly before gassing them. Their stock prices fell when they denied using factory farms, although the song suggests that their stock price has risen again. The second thumbs its nose at protesters and suggests that Cluckin' Bell previously served rats along with the chicken but was no longer doing so. It also implies they use chemicals that result in breast swelling in humans. | In the [[GTA III Era|GTA III's]] [[GTA III era Timeline|continuity]], Cluckin' Bell was established in [[1982]].
