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.

    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.
