First, there was an all-black burger. Black begat red. Now, KFC China is here to raise the bar on ill-advised burger buns with a pink chicken sandwich.
The Rose Cheese Roasted Chicken Burger was recently introduced, along with another ubiquitous black burger, and is here to seriously mess with your rods and cones. Hopefully the chicken doesn’t turn out pink too.

We’ve all been there… We’re going to town on a whole bucket o’ chicken, and we’d like to capture this moment for posterity.
The Memories Bucket is here to help. As part of their 60th Anniversary in Canada, KFC has created the bucket printer to capture those fleeting greasy moments.
Chicken-eating historians can take a picture with their smartphones and, via Bluetooth, have a Polaroid-type photo released from the bucket. Please wipe off your hands before handling your photos.

Assuming that you’re not averse to rainbow foods, you might consider serving something other than boring orange chicken wings at your Super Bowl party.
Skittles Wings are brought to us by the folks at Thrillist. The multi-colored treats will help get the color-party started, by using the actual candies to color and flavor your wingers. Check out the recipe and technique here and taste the chickeny rainbow.

Intent on making sure that all bread is eventually replaced with fried chicken, KFC is now testing out the Double Down Dog.
Following in the protein-heavy footsteps of the KFC Double Down, the Double Down Dog is a wiener wrapped in a slab of fried chicken, and covered in a mysterious cheese sauce.
Unfortunately, for anyone who’s morbidly curious about ingesting one of these, the Double Down Dog is only available for a very limited test release in parts of the Philippines.
Now, can someone explain how they get the chicken to bend like that? Asking for a friend.
Nothing good can come from any blue food. That is unless that blue food is a cereal endorsed by a cartoon ghost, or it’s paying homage to our home planet.
At Japanese science museum, Orbi Yokohama, they’re serving up burgers and sandwiches with blue buns made to resemble Earth. Green is added to represent the landmasses… and so nobody thinks that they’re eating Uranus.
