While the delicious menus usually catch people's attention at KFC, a local comedian was stunned when he saw a seat that wasn't really a seat. Thankfully, people online provided clarity.

Kentucky-fried confusion

John Koopman went to the chicken restaurant and left with his meal and a question for the store.

In his TikTok video, which has since garnered over 41 million views and posted on his account (@johnkoopman), the hungry guy spotted a brown, cushioned bar connected to a table with a small surface.

Given the placement, it is not unusual to think the bar and mini table were made for customers to sit on.

John comically tried to sit on the bar comfortably but epically failed.

He asked in his post's caption:

"How does a person sit or eat on these, KFC?"

Thousands of social media users (who helped make the video viral) stepped into the comment section to explain the device. Many concluded that it was called a leaning chair or bar.

@1.king__javi informed John:

"It's for leaning, not sitting."

@bongimtshali8 shared their explanation:

"That's for leaning when waiting for your food. It is close to the tills, and no one eats there. I find it very useful when waiting for my takeaways.'

@keabetswemphelo wrote what they thought the restaurant's intentions were:

"They want you to stay, but not too long."

@n_ster_ jokingly said to John:

"That’s that 'don’t think you can get comfortable here' seating."

@tammy_gen_x laughed at the comedian's attempt to sit on the leaning bar, saying:

"I can appreciate your effort to make it work."
