So now that I’m close friends with the Colonel, he’s looped me in to all their advertising techniques. Today, KFC launches a television commercial utilizing the “mosquito tone” that only those young whipper snappers can hear.
Anyone 20ish or younger care to verify that the sound is present?
UPDATE: The YouTube transcoding somehow enabled the audio so that anyone can hear it. Mark kindly posted the source .mov which prevents us ole foggies from hearing the screech.

28 here, and I was able to hear the sound - right when the KFC bucket is being shown. Crazy!
I don't get it. I heard the sound, but it's just an annoying beep. It doesn't seem to ad anything to the commercial, and definitely doesn't make me want to buy fried chicken.
I'm 33 and I heard the sound... I guess it's supposed to grab your attention... but when fast forwarding through commercials with my TiVo I doubt I'll even notice.
