losing my finger licking mine right now eating all this Chicken KFC makes a legendary fast
Fried Chicken but not all is Finger Licking Good here are the 10 biggest KFC failures of all time
edible nail polish what the hell is that Bell polish in 2016 the poultry producing fast food
chain decided to finally let fans in Hong Kong experience the ability to have KFC right at their
fingertips literally available in two shades hot and spicy red and original recipe green
the nail polish promised consumers the chance to nibble their nails and taste the Kernel's crispy
fried chicken all day long made from all natural edible ingredients the nail polish was packaged
in a way that would make it look right at home in Sephora if you're wondering why it never made
it to a global market well there are several reasons first of all the Polish had a very
short shelf life it was only good for five days once open after it was opened it had to be kept
refrigerated and the packaging stated can only be used once after opening the actual colors of
the Polish were reportedly not much to write home about either those that used the Polish said that
the red was incredibly see-through even after a few coats and that the original recipe green
clumped up and became lumpy after applying it that's disappointing even die hard fans
of the chain turned their hands up at the product opting instead to buy a bargain bucket of chicken
leaving the company to end its foray into the nail polish business not long after release this
coffee cup cream in my coffee and rock and roll to celebrate the collaboration between Seattle's
Best Coffee and KFC restaurants in the UK came up with a novel marketing gimmick partnering with
experimental food creators the robin Collective the company created the scoffie cup an edible cup
that came in a variety of different flavors the cup was inspired by the waxy cardboard cups that
can be found at any coffee chain with a crunchy biscuit shell well coated on the inside with
white chocolate and a slightly more bizarre move the cups were also infused with different smells
including freshly cut grass and wild flowers having a tasty sweet treat to go along with a
hot cup of coffee sounds like a great idea but of course neither company had thought of the clear
downside to the invention chocolate and heat don't exactly go together just the one the hotter the
beverage poured into the cup the quicker it would melt or spring a leak needless to say the product
never even left the development stage Double Down dog why a hot dog I just like them the regular
KFC double down hit the market in 2010 a sandwich consisting of cheese bacon and two fried chicken
breasts instead of a bun delicious the Double Down did quite well for the company despite being
staggeringly unhealthy and in 2015 KFC restaurants in the Philippines took the concept to a whole new
level the Double Down dog made its debut you on January 26th and yes it is exactly what it
sounds like the company proclaimed the item to be a legendary dish for legendary people which
is quite the claim considering how long the Double Down dog lasted the menu item was only available
for two days the 26th and 27th of January and even more strangely only 50 would be available each day
per restaurant of the lucky few who got their hands on a double down dog most were less than
impressed and took to social media to showcase the newest delicacy the fixtures were less than
appetizing with dogs too big for the chicken bun and Oodles of shiny congealing Grease the Double
Down dog soon sank Into Obscurity never making it out of the Philippines however this menu item has
a legacy that goes far beyond the island nation Kentucky roast beef really turkey can never beat
cow Chris sorry after Colonel Sanders sold KFC to an Investment Group in 1963 4 he continued to
stay on as a spokesman for the company in 1968 the new owners decided to diversify its menu by
adding roast beef sandwiches to its selection the only problem was that the Chain's chicken
hungry customers were insuade to try out the beef based snack the sandwich itself was reportedly
quite good the beef was slow roasted with the restaurant's trademark 11 herbs and spices and
served on a buttered bun it's gonna be legend wait for it Dairy the new owners were so sure
of the success of the sandwich that they also opened Kentucky roast beef and ham outposts
where you could stop by to pick up the dish these outposts lasted until 1970 when they were closed
down due to a lack of Interest despite this the sandwich continued to be sold in KFC restaurants
until the late 1970s before being unceremoniously discontinued due to its poor performance keeping
up with the demands of making fresh roast beef every day was a major factor in the decision
Vision to discontinue the sandwich the price also deterred potential customers the sandwich
cost 79 cents whereas for just six cents more you could get two pieces of chicken mashed potatoes
gravy and a biscuit as we keep moving on take a second to hit that like button would ya thank you
next the Cheetos sandwich did you steal my Cheetos again and more recent history KFC decided to team
up with snack food extraordinaire Cheetos to create a new sandwich to challenge hungry
consumers taste buds the Cheetos sandwich was a radioactive orange morsel featuring a classic KFC
fried chicken breast a layer of Cheetos pickles and Mayo the whole thing was also slathered in
a hot sauce creatively named Cheeto sauce which only added to the neon orange glow dude shut up
that is awesome sauce KFC also decided to create a whole new mascot to promote the new menu Edition
the mascot was a combination of Chester Cheetah and Colonel Sanders which resulted in Chester
wearing the Colonel's trademark white jacket and sporting a white goatee and wig the chain even
decked out one of its New York locations as a pop-up with chester cheetahs seamed decor and
special Cheetos menu items only available that day while people were initially excited about
at the Big Brand collaboration it was a different story once the sandwich was released the Cheetos
sandwich was very messy and difficult to eat leaving a radioactive orange trail of stains
behind it was also described as quite unpleasant to eat due to the soft stale Cheetos and the
uneven ratio of ingredients the sandwich lasted for around four weeks before it was dropped and
Chester had to hang up his goatee it's not a pizza it's the cheetza now describe what you taste geez
and and cheese and KFC's never-ending search to find the perfect mashup of its menu and
other popular food Staples the company decided to create the ultimate combination with the chitsa
released across the Philippines India Japan and Singapore chitsa was almost immediately
heralded as a visually unappealing mess the new creation featured KFC chicken instead of a pizza
crust that was then topped with tomato sauce cheese Peppers KFC cheese sauce and a mysterious
ingredient called chicken ham the promotional pictures for the cheetza look quite tasty but the
reality was anything but those that picked up the Frankenstein creation wasted no time in posting
pictures online of what they received which was decidedly different from the advertisements the
actual product was a sloppy mess with ingredients randomly strewn on top of an uneven fried chicken
crust worse still it didn't taste very good at all one CNET review of the cheetza was was
titled eating KFC's new cheats of pizza a journey into regret the review described the smell as a
combination of old oil and faint spice and said it tasted too sweet processed and that each bite
of the cheetah showed regret does indeed have a taste it definitely sounds bad other patrons
echoed this sentiment with the chitsa eventually being consigned to the history books KFC's air
Kentucky Japan what is what's happening in Japan why is she going to Japan well this may sound like
the colonel and Company branched out and started their own Airline it was actually the restaurant
Chain's way of getting chicken into the sky air Kentucky was a meal available on Japan Airlines
and by all accounts it was not the Glorious bucket Feast passengers would hope for on a long flight
the meal was instead a small drumstick and breast a flatbread a sad looking cup of coleslaw and some
often wilted lettuce leaves not exactly a feast fit for royalty not good enough the meal was
available on select flights but it didn't exactly evoke the feeling of fine cuisine the reason for
the collaboration between the purveyor of fine fried chicken and Japan Airlines is because
surprisingly KFC is extremely popular in Japan thanks to a Savvy ad campaign in the 1970s KFC
has become a staple Christmas feast in the country with meals being reserved in advance and long
lineups forming outside restaurants for their festive fried food the partnership lasted for
three months in 2012 before KFC's air Kentucky was grounded surprisingly this wasn't the first time
KFC had sent its 11 herbs and spices into the sky it turns out that this was the seventh time that
the airline and restaurant chain had partnered up over the years cheese top Burger I hit it this way
what's wrong with it less cheese once again KFC went to the company's favorite testing ground the
Philippines to launch its new experimental menu item in 2012 the cheese top Burger was a regular
KFC Burger featuring a trademark crispy fried filet and garlic Parmesan sauce on a soft bun
what makes this sandwich stand out the sandwich also featured a slice of American cheese on top of
the bun when asked what spawned the idea for the new sandwich KFC's Philippines marketing manager
at the time said they like to play around with things that Filipinos love and what people like to
put in food is cheese upon release the less than creative sandwich spawned plenty of mockery online
memes of Plenty appeared on social media and the creation even grabbed the attention of the late
night host Jimmy Kimmel of course apart from being a creative failure it also didn't go over well
with customers the main complaints surrounding the sandwich were that it was incredibly messy
people found it hard to eat and got their hands covered in Greasy sticky melted cheese is enough
while the same KFC marketing manager refuted this saying that it's the biggest misconception about
the burger that it's sticky and greasy you can eat it like a regular burger and insisted that
sales were excellent and it was here to stay well the proof was in the eating the KFC nacho box do
they do a decent nacho in 2014 KFC took a hard turn into fusing Mexican style food with their
classic chicken and thus the nacho box was born this time the company took their new creation to
Australia for a trial run Australia might the Box consisted of tortilla chips popcorn chicken salsa
and cheese it has to be said that the combination sounds not dissimilar to the cheetah except with
the added crunch of tortilla chips the problems began soon after the item became available when
customer complaints began rolling in shortly after the nacho Box made its debut the problem many
customers found that the cheese sprinkled on the nachos was moldy the company was quick to withdraw
the cheese and in a post on Facebook explained that the issue had been caused by packaging issues
with the cheese problems solved things did not improve for the nacho box the complaints continued
this time regarding what was advertised and what was received the box was advertised as brimming
with chips and popcorn chicken and presented with a liberal sprinkling of cheese and salsa
what customers got were half filled boxes crushed tortilla chip crumbs and sometimes only received
one or two chips on top of a few scattered pieces of chicken the water box did I order the what for
the what what what what in India in 2016 KFC had a light bulb moment and came up with the water box
judging by the advertisement the meal contained a chicken sandwich tenders a biscuit and a soda
the box also came with a battery power bank and multiple charging cords so it would be compatible
with both Apple and Android devices the water box was only available in Mumbai and Delhi and
could only be obtained by winning one either in store or on Facebook while the actual meal was a
regular meal with nothing altered the box was the star attraction the power bank could also
be removed for on-the-go charging however those that tested the power bank found that it lacked
power and was extremely slow to charge a trial was done by BGR and found that it took the power
bank half an hour to charge a phone to 17 what is taking so long once the power bank was recharged
to 100 percent they once again plugged in their device but the charger only managed to charge the
device by 7 before being completely depleted ultimately the limited edition box was a fun
novelty but not something that could go Global or even fully charge your phone better luck next time
