Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is running an empty food view
I am your host the report of the week. So we have a new item out from KFC
That's right. You can see there's the colonel he's looking at you, right?
He's looking right in there and he's kind of he's not really but you know he is right he sees you
Just just saying just getting that out there first and foremost. They have a new item out. They have the Cheetos
sandwich and oh, I know we've all been looking forward to the Cheetos sandwich and
What is it exactly?
people have been talking about this people have been saying and this is
Revolutionary this is the future of food as we know it if this goes well if all goes according to plan
You're gonna be able to eat this five times a day every day for the rest of your life
That's right. So get ready. It's a Cheetos revolution and the KFC is leading the charge and
This is a crispy colonel sandwich
It's really like a slab of I mean, I've actually reviewed this before it sounds like a piece of their breaded chicken
On the bun comes with Mayo. Okay. It has to have that and then here's that we got
Cheetos sauce
you know, you never go and get a bag of Cheetos, right and
You say to yourself? Yeah, but I kind of want to just drink it right so you go and you put it under a
Bunsen burner and make sure it's just melted down and then you let it cool first, of course, then you guzzle it down
Right. I know I do I did that last night, but that's Cheetos sauce
Not really, but you know what I'm getting at
It's sauce to taste like Cheetos and then it also just of course comes with the Cheetos themselves
So it's supposed to be a very cheesy
Cheetos esque chicken sandwich again courtesy of
KFC
And I got to tell you I mean Cheetos they get around
I really I have to tell you I'm like, you know that Burger King, right?
They do the the flamin' Hot Cheetos and the stuffed Cheetos. And yeah, well now KFC is getting in on the action
They're saying hey, hey, wait a minute Burger King. Don't be greedy. Don't don't don't do this to me
We want to get some of those Cheetos for us too. So they are all right
Now this sandwich if you want to just get it as a sandwich what you can they'll cost you four dollars
79 cents if you want to get it as the mule deal
Which is what I got add two dollars to that six dollars seventy nine cents, so you get it
Of course with your sandwich some you know
Very wedge cut fries and then you get a drink - I'm gonna be reviewing this one
It's a new mountain dew that's out call the other sweet lightning, of course
It can't have any of that sour lightning or tangy
Lightning er god forbid that peanut butter flavored lightning, but this is their sweet lightning Mountain Dew
which is supposed to be anyway a
Combination of peach and honey flavor and it's supposed to be the KFC version of Mountain Dew Baja blast
Which we'll see I am always a big fan of mountain dew
blast if I say so myself
And this just came out the other day. So I really I brushed it over day. I rushed over to do this. I'm sorry
I hope this doesn't impetuously done, but I want it to be haphazard
But I really ever went over and got this because has really been promoted for a while
Everyone's talking about it. Anyway, you can see there's the
Fries right there right container of fries and this should be the
sandwich we could see it says special and I you can see this
Look at it. You can't really see much of anything, but then you turn it
Isn't that terrifying I think it is here we go
There it is you can see
It's very reminiscent to how it actually looks in the advertisements
I gotta give him credit on that and you know what? I want to be completely and totally
100% honest and transparent right now. All right
Let me let me be honest when I do these reviews I
Always go in here with an impartial view toward things
You know, that's what I'm doing today. Let's see. Is that gonna is it gonna focus? Hello? Hi Camera. There we go. I
Always go in with an impartial view towards things, but I'll admit it. Do I have my biases? Yeah, absolutely
I looked at this item and I thought to myself man this looks
Kind of gross but at the same time I have to say to myself
Yeah, but you know what you might have your reservations
You might think that it looks a little grossed and it's not something you'd get all the time
You can't judge a book by its cover just like a Pizza reviewed the other day, right?
Didn't look like the world's best pizza, but it sure tasted good. So I say to myself. You know, what?
Yeah, this might not be something I'd get every day. I'm not a big Cheetos fan. I wouldn't get something with you know, all the
Mayo right there and stuff, but you know what? Maybe it'll all go together well, and it's gonna be a tasty sandwich
So who's to say I like saying sandwich like that?
Anyway, we know what's on it. It does look like the advertisement though
And then one thing you have to be wary of is that it's not gonna be drenched in the sauce
I've seen this a couple times now
We have the sauce covering most of it, but you will have portions of the chicken with no Cheetos sauce
We're gonna try it out. We're gonna see how cheesy it is, how flavorful it is
I already have kind of the no not really, but the
Orange hands that they they so claim you would get from these
Alright. Anyway, we know what's in it. I know what's in it, you know, what's in it?
We all know what's in it Cheetos sandwich from KFC going in
We'll take one more bite
I think that's a good segue into it
You know, you know what I was just saying about
Making sure I don't have I want to get that on the shirt. I
Was saying don't judge a book by it's cover that's I was kind of saying that in the last video it's something that holds true
All right. Look, I saw this. I thought yeah, it's gonna be some gimmicky sandwich
It's probably gonna be gross right but you got to be open-minded and you got to say to yourself
Yeah, but what if it's not you got to be ready for anything good or bad?
And it's tasty look it is a lot better than I thought it was, okay
Now you have to have a certain set of expectations when you go into here. Number one. You have to realize that it's fast food
number two
Do I like Cheetos my fan of like that little cheesiness that it'll come in with if you say no I hate Cheetos. I
despise
Cheetos I detest Cheetos I abhor Cheetos, they disgust me and you know someone you can go on all day
You're not gonna like the sandwich, but if you don't mind that little bit cheesiness, you don't mind the cheeto flavor
You're gonna like it. I gotta tell you the Mayo it's not overwhelming. It's fine. I didn't have a problem with it at all
The bread is the most flavorless thing on the sandwich, but that's okay. They're not advertising the bread
They're not saying that it's gonna be special
Cheetos bread or something like that, right? It just holds it together and it does its job the chicken
It's flavorful. Look. It's juicy. Okay, it's a little it's lightly bread
It has a little bit of crunch to it the Cheetos sauce. You know, what a little goes a long way. I was worried
I thought there's not gonna be a lot of coverage
It's not gonna really you're not going to taste anything
But a little goes a long way you really do taste that Cheetos flavor and you get that cheesiness in there
But it is not overwhelming. It's there. It's with every single bite
But it's not overwhelming which is good. You don't want there to be way too much. It'll ruin everything
nor too little
They got a good amount. It might look like it's a little light on that sauce
But again, it's more potent. And like I said a little goes a long way and the Mayo is completely innocuous
It doesn't bother me at all gives it a little moisture
It looks like there is more than there really is. I think that's it doesn't
It's completely inoffensive. Okay, the cheeto pieces that are on there as well. I can contribute to that crunchiness
They are a lot crumb there. They're crunchy. It's not like they're these soggy limp little things
No, they're crunchy to have that crunch in every bite. You really hear you to be able to taste them
I tell you that and the overall it's gimmicky. Yes. It's a gimmicky
Of course
But it goes together well and through a gimmick they did a good job with it
I feel they put it together and they made a tasty cheesy sandwich so that that's that out of ten
Again price for this four dollars seventy nine cents. I'm gonna give it a
Well, you know the last one I gave it eight
I'll give this one an eight point one out of ten because again, I'm impressed by it
I think it's fine for what it is. It's completely fine
just remember if you don't like things that are really cheesy or not a Cheetos fan and you might not be the biggest fan of
This one and also I'm just gonna take a quick step in the sweet lightening Mountain Dew
It's alright for what it is, I mean I
know I noticed I
Do taste the peaches. I don't really taste the honey. You know, it's
More like a peach flavor Mountain Dew like honey is a really potent flavor
It's really really sweet. If you get this, you're gonna notice the peach flavor not so much the
Honey, so that's it out of that. I'm going to give that a
4.5 out of 10 just because yeah could be a little bit more like they described it and that's just where it's lacking
All right. That's all that I have for you
