3. Harland Sanders started KFC at Age 62

Harland Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders, started Kentucky Fried Chicken at age 62. What he found in 1939 changed the course of his life. He had been trying to create that perfect flavor for so long and with no success until one day, when a new device showed him just what it takes: pressure cooking. KFC has become the most popular chicken restaurant globally, with more than 18,000 locations and $27.9 billion in annual revenue.
