Good news for anyone who has ever needed to charge their phone, but found themselves neck-high in fried chicken and unable to walk to the nearest outlet. KFC's new meal box includes a USB port, so diners can simultaneously eat fried chicken, charge their phone, and try not to get chicken grease all over said phone.

Not even April first? They also claim a KFC bucket that doubles as a photo printer. Wonder if you can print an AR 15 with it?

Watt a Box is only available in select stores in Delhi and Mumbai. KFC has unveiled similar tech-meets-fast-food products in other markets, though. Last year in Canada, the chicken chain released a photo printer that was built inside its signature bucket of grease-stained fried chicken.Can we assume those countries don't have such strict laws about putting a non-food item inside a food item that kids under 3 can swallow and their parents can sue the company's pants off.

Remember those people who were arrested with Kinder Eggs crossing the border from Canada into the US?

I’m sure there’s a way to convert grease into electricity.

No. Only an AR47 with a 100 round clip.

Just another way to track you.
KFC - 11 herbs and spices and 9 of them are salt.

Their chicken doesn’t even taste like chicken!
Tastes like week old grease.
At what they charge for a bucket of chicken you should get a free iPhone with each bucket.
