I was watching television the other day when a commercial for a new KFC product came on. The spot was for something called New KFC Famous Bowls.
Now, how a new product could achieve fame before it was released is beyond me. But all that aside, this was quite a big idea. You start with KFC’s world famous soupy mashed potatoes, top that with gravy, top that with overcooked corn, top that with pieces of greasy fried chicken, top that with even more of that questionable gravy and cover it all with a three-cheese blend. Wow. I don’t know about you, but I just threw up a little. Which is the very same reaction I had when I saw this product advertised on TV. I actually felt sick to my stomach. Hey, I think that’s a first in advertising. I mean, usually, you try to make the product look as appetizing as possible. But when you start with shite, you end up with shite.
Then again, my opinion shouldn’t matter much. I’m one of those weird people who only eats fish. So please, enlighten me. Explain to me why these Famous Bowls are so appetizing. I just don’t get it. As far as I’m concerned, anything that makes me want to blow, sucks.
Update: It seems that Pip actually had the nerve to try one of these things. Incidentally, he didn’t read this blog entry before he wrote his review, so any similarities are completely coincidental. At least that’s what he says. Mm hm.
