KFC (not) value for money

With the resurrection of a few older chicken threads, I thought I'd throw this out there and see if other countries have done this or does Pepsico think that Canada is the golden goose...

Back circa 2016 KFC (in Canada) cut the size of some of their chicken pieces differently (a chicken was cut up from 9 pieces to 12 pieces)... They kept their (already expensive for similarly sized pieces) prices the same. The claim was that Canadian farmers were growing their chickens bigger before delivery. Popeye's and the other smaller chains kept their pieces pretty big. (And Costco didn't change either). At the time, when I searched the internet, I could not find any other countries where this had happened. And when visiting other countries, I saw the prices being comparable (give or take a bit).

I'm curious if anyone else has seen this in their own countries in recent memory? (For the record, I have not ordered any KFC since this happened, preferring to go to the other chains for the better value when I have the cravings)
