The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
KFC is a bit generous with who gets to play their founder. There’s also an outdated cyborg looking for work. So, RoboCop playing Colonel Sanders makes perfect sense.
Reprogrammed with one prime directive, Robo-Colonel has been tasked with protecting KFC’s secret recipe. He even sports the trademark goatee and string bow tie.
Dead or alive, your chicken is coming with me…
When is a bowl of food more than just a bowl of food? Perhaps, it’s when that bowl is filled with one pound of KFC and comes with a free matching haircut.
KFC is going retro in the kitchen and on people’s heads with the return of KFC Famous Bowls and free bowl haircuts. Nationwide, KFC Famous Bowls will be available for a mere $3. On Thursday, January 10th in New York City, KFC is offering a free bowl haircut to match your lunch.
Then, after every bit of the KFC Famous Bowl is consumed and the barber brushes off your neck — only then can you decide which bowl was more regrettable. Check out the styles available and enjoy your bowls.
It used to be that you’d have to order a fancy lobster to get a free bib. Well, time’s a changin’ and, luckily, KFC UK wants to be fancy too.
The Dirty Louisiana will apparently make such a mess, that it comes with a free bib. The sandwich is KFC’s Original Recipe Fillet with the following; Black Pepper Mayo, Lettuce, Deluxe BBQ Sauce, Cheese, Hash Brown, Cheese, Supercharger Sauce & Gherkins. None of which you need ruining a perfectly good shirt.
The bib, of course, is branded with The Colonel logo and his unmistakeable bow tie, so you can play Colonel too. In fact, you may be the only person left who hasn’t played Colonel Sanders.
KFC Hong Kong wants to imply that their Hot & Spicy Chicken is hot. And, if these print ads by Ogilvy Hong Kong are any indication, the chicken is burning rocket fuel-type hot.
With the use of creative placement and clever lighting, actual KFC chicken parts are used to represent fire and smoke. The space shuttle has lift-off, indicated by the drumsticks and wings it leaves behind, while imitation Power Rangers pose in front of a chicken explosion.

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!
