Try to court Colonel Sanders in KFC's dating sim
KFC does weird stuff all the time -- from a line of KFC-flavored nail polish to a chicken wing box that doubles as a drone. But it's really outdone itself this time. Today, a listing for a KFC dating game, I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin' Good Dating Simulator, appeared on Steam. Created with the help of Psyop, the game is a work in progress, but KFC promises it will be "the most delicious dating simulator ever."
KFC's fried chicken delivery will have you licking your fingers in no time
If you've got a hankering for a bucket of the Colonel's Original Recipe, KFC will now bring the goods to you. The purveyor of fast-food fried chicken is partnering with DoorDash to offer delivery. Once your order is placed via apps on Android, iOS or the web, DoorDash will make sure your $5 Fill Up or $20 Family Fill Up arrives in a timely fashion. Expect to pay a delivery fee between $5 and $7, though, and menu items will cost more than if you visited a physical location. KFC tapping DoorDash for its delivery service isn't too surprising, as the delivery company already handles food drop-offs for Taco Bell which also falls under the YUM! Brands umbrella. KFC delivery is available now in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Orange County with expansion to other markets expected in the coming months. [Image credit: Daniel Acker/Bloomberg via Getty Images]
For clucks sake: KFC Japan takes extra crispy to a new level
There's really only one way to properly celebrate Colonel's Day: a collection of fried chicken-themed accessories to show your pride. That's just what KFC Japan is doing as part of a Twitter promotional campaign. Lucky winners will be treated to the likes of an over-sized chicken leg iPhone case, a keyboard that's adorned with various pieces of chicken and both a USB drive and mouse that each showcase rather drumstick-like appearances. For the less tech savvy, there's chicken leg Ostrich Pillow-like headwear for comfy napping and a set of earrings to let everyone know what your favorite food is. The whole lot is quite ridiculous really, but don't take my word for it, take a gander at the entire collection in the gallery that follows.
Imagined skins for the Wii
Pimping out consoles with awesome, rad, super-phat skins is nothing new, but usually people wait for the system to actually be released before pasting stuff all over it. Not Rob Accomando, though; he put together a short video of how the Wii would look wrapped up in pictures of various games, cartoons, movies, sports teams and, uh, fast food, franchises.Wait, fast food franchises? Really? I mean the fried chicken controller is clever and all, but who would even consider putting a big picture of Colonel Sanders on their video game hardware? Maybe Nintendo can sooth some of those people complaining about the system's profit-making price and subsidize the console with ads. It sure worked for Gizmondo... not!
