The season of non-stop eating, shopping, and coupon emails is upon us. And, sometimes, we may want to escape those harmful wi-fi signals and dinner guests that ask too many questions.

KFC knows your pain, and has the answer in the form of a large metal tent. The KFC Internet Escape Pod is officially a thing. The pod will seat up to four adults looking for a reprieve, and protection from the internet, as the metal walls block out signals.

Of course, no KFC merchandise would be complete without Colonel Sanders involved. Therefore, the Colonel can be seen here — his long arms offering a large internet-blocking hug. So, as KFC probably intended, grab a bucket of chicken, pull on the drumstick door-knob, and enjoy your escape.

Oh, did we mention that the KFC Internet Escape Pod is a one-off that costs $10,000? No escape for you!

If you’re still not sure what to be for Halloween, and wouldn’t mind kicking it old-school, The Colonel Sanders Costume is here to help.

Officially-titled, Halloween Harland, the costume will not only disguise you as the world’s greatest chicken salesman, but the mask and bib pays tribute to those dime store Halloween costumes from the 70s. The Halloween Harland set is available at the KFC Store, with KFC Trick or Treat Buckets available at participating restaurants after Oct. 27th.

Hopefully, your neighbors don’t participate in this vintage Halloween theme, or you’ll probably be getting spare change and NECCO Wafers in your basket.

The hottest gig on television now appears to be portraying KFC’s Colonel Sanders. And, luckily for those looking for work, the role has been what you might call ‘extremely interchangeable.’

Next up to sport the string tie and goatee is Rob Lowe. The new campaign is for the Chicken Zinger Sandwich, which KFC may or may not be launching into space. It’s hard to tell, as the viewer will surely be distracted by the new Colonel’s seemingly eternal youth, and uneven Kentucky accent.
