Col-Pop: Chicken and Soda in One Container

Eeek!

I hate to admit it, but I think that's extremely cool. I don't dine on fast food unless I'm near death, but I think the idea is rather clever. It would cut down on waste products.

Death to all chickens.

=^.^=

This is so wrong on so many levels. It makes my head spin. Can't people eat a piece of lettuce?

Just because you CAN invent something, doesn't mean you should.

I'm most irritated when those really skinny folks are constantly wolfing down fast food, chips and other junk and never gain an inch. Doesn't mean they're healthy, but they sure smirk a lot.

And thus, the evidence that people are getting even lazier--we can't even hold multiple things in our hands. I'd make comments about cell phones, but that's just a personal hatred of the things coming out.

It was only a matter of time, I think. Food companies are making just about everything in cupholder-shaped containers so people can take full advantage of the 32 cupholders in their SUVs and minivans. Having the soda under the chicken is kind of a gross idea though. I would think that would make either the chicken get too cold or the soda get too warm.

Spectra, you are just unjustifiable hating Apple Pie American Food Corporations. Makes you a traitor to this great nation! In fact anyone who bad-mouths the corn industry is a traitor to AmeriKKKa!!!! Heil Bush!

South Korea is a slim county in comparison to USA, i dont think this design is spawned out of peoples laziness, or peoples obsession with fast food, probably more novelty and name branding. If anything its probably a good thing, looks to me like you'd get a smaller serving of both chicken and soda.

It's rather less tricky than having the chicken under the soda, I should think.
There is a crazy amount of cupholders in 'family' vehicles, like minivans.

I suppose one could keep a small salad or serving of fruit/veg in place of the chicken. I don't think it's federal law that one has to eat only chicken out of the cup.

way gross.

Free markets rule.

Ban all FrankenChicken!

Too funny!

it looks like it could cut down on portion sizes?

I wouldn't eat/drink it, but it could cut down on waste!

i think we might be putting too much thought into it. it's merchandising. someone thought is was cool and would sell. so they patented it and bam, they're seeing dollar signs out the ying-yang

I suppose if each cup was separately insulated, it might work (and be highly marketable in this multitasking--unfortunately--society we live in), but not with nothing but paper separating the two. YUCK!

Coke + Chicken? Already been done:

This way you can eat and drink at the same time.”

To say nothing of driving the car. Look, it’s not that I haven’t had lots of “fun” repairing people after car accidents, and I will be there for you if you, unfortunately, are involved in one, but, please, your number one job while at the wheel is to drive your vehicle, and please wear your seatbelt.

Thank you very much!

Who are you to lecture people on how they can drive. Off to the re-education camp for you!

Lecturing People 101. It's a required course for all medical students :-)

Dr. J.--Or you could just do what I did to free myself of the "drinking/eating and driving" habit: Get a car with a manual transmission. When I drive, I have to have one hand to steer and one to shift, leaving me no extra hands to drink a soda. That's why European cars have no cupholders...maybe they're on to something?

At least I've never tried applying makeup while driving...my husband saw a lady doing that the other day and he was amazed that she wasn't dead or that she hadn't poked her eye out with a mascara wand.

Maybe the next step for the industry will be to invent a "feed-bag" design like they use on horses to try and "capture" the more difficult cases like you!

They will fail :-)

I saw somethign similar on a TV show once. A girl invented a container for the movie theater that had popcorn and soda together in a container like that.

OMG!

I tend to agree on everything here (cool idea / hate fast food) except the bit about it cutting down on waste products. It's a cup inside a cup -- two cups. How would it cut down on waste products?

But I think it could be a great idea for picnics and cocktail parties and other events where one is expected to balance a plate and a cup at the same time.

This is simply mind-boggling!! o.0

At least they separate the two instead of letting the chicken float in the soda. That really would be gross.

That is digusting. Knowing our culture it will take off here in North America.
