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.

    Beside the fact their food suckz, they have a terrible animal and human rights record.

    You should really be vegan and not eat any of this shit.

    Eat a vegetable-based diet and patronize establishments that respect human dignity and pay their employees a living wage.

    I'd rather eat out of a dumpster than eat at KFC (and I have eaten out of a dumpster, based on principal, when the situation warranted). There's so much waste in cities. Lots of good veggies in the dumpster if you're willing to get a little dirty.
