KFC Introduces Meal Box That Doubles As A Smartphone Charger (indianexpress.com)
An anonymous reader writes: KFC has introduced a limited edition 5-in-1 Meal Box to select KFC outlets in Delhi and Mumbai. The box has one mighty special feature: it will charge a user's smartphone while they eat. The company has partnered with a Mumbai-based digital agency, Blink Digital, to make the "Watt a Box" concept a reality. In terms of specs, the box features a built-in 6100 mAh power bank, and two USB-ports with the ability to charge Android smartphones and iPhones. KFC has launched a contest on its Facebook page, giving users a chance to win the box. You can watch the "Watt a Box" promo video here on YouTube.
Vegetarianism is elitism. Vegetables are very poor concentrators of nutrition, unlike meat, which is an enormously rich protein- and fat-dense food. Per calorie and overall nutritional value, meat packs more value by weight than vegetables at a ten-to-one ratio. If everyone in the US were vegetarian, we wouldn't have enough infrastructure to ship all the food around. And the vegan cry of "grow local" is specious. Many places aren't arable enough to grow local, while others have abundantly fertile ground that would be criminal to waste.
Vegitarians don't live longer. It just seems longer.
KFC in India has many vegetarian dishes to choose from. In addition to fried chicken sandwiches and strips they have fried vegetable "strips" and fried vegetable sandwiches. They have several spicy chicken choices we don't have in US KFC as well that are quite tasty.
The user needs to allow data transfer to a new USB connection, with Android 6. Otherwise, its just for charging the battery.
