A KFC meal that isn’t as it seems… Jill of Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons created a bucket of chicken and sides entirely out of candy. Complete with fried chicken that’s actually Rice Krispie treats coated with Raisin Bran, corn on the cob created from a Twinkie covered in yellow jelly beans, and frighteningly-realistic baked beans made from pudding and Sugar Babies. Recipe and technique here.

As we await confirmation on exactly what’s going on here, we’ll tell you what we know so far. KFC Philippines has unveiled something called the Cheese Top Burger. And, besides the uninspired name, someone over at KFC apparently couldn’t be bothered to open the bun before melting the cheese.
OK, this just in… The cheese is melted on top of the burger on purpose. And, the “burger” is actually a chicken patty with garlic Parmesan dressing — again, cheese on the outside.
I’m glad we cleared this up, because KFC was looking really silly there for a second.
Imagine a time — before his mug appeared on greasy buckets worldwide — when the iconic Colonel Sanders was unrecognizable. Appearing on an episode of What’s My Line? in 1963, the ‘Head of the Southern Fried Chicken Company’ is questioned by the panel, until he’s forced to reveal his evil plan for worldwide fried chicken domination.

Apparently, almost any tagline for any major brand can be interpreted as inappropriate — or extremely appropriate for selling condoms. And because we’re obviously a nation of perverts, a new Tumblr blog called New Condoms, proves the point.
Fried Chicken Cookies are brought to us by Bridget from Bake at 350. And although it would be no surprise if these were made from various chicken parts formed into a horrifying cookie-type treat, they are actual cookies made to look like drumsticks. Cornflakes are used to create the crispy faux skin.
