KFC Popcorn Chicken Shake

KFC has launched another new product line based on their popcorn chicken. This time, it's called the Popcorn Chicken Shake - I presume some advertising d00d thought that Popcorn Chicken Shake (with an inverted e) would speak the target demographic more effectively. ;)

The promotional tagline goes "The more you shake it, the better it gets!"

This is very disturbing considering the numerous instances of pictures depicting a boyish persona doing a "Look ma! I'm shaking the Popcorn Chicken Shake using a hand under my crotch!" maneuver, which I'm sure is an advanced trick managed only by high level Popcorn Chicken Shaking enthusiasts.

Well, I wanted to try all four flavors so I ordered all of them. The first one is free, there's a RM 0.50 charge for additional sachets. Popcorn Chicken Shake. It comes in a customized cup, which is the 22 oz cup that you usually get served drinks by. It's made of the same material and only the top is different - this one has a Starbucks like dome cover, but without any holes.

Popcorn Chicken Shake is basically Popcorn Chicken, which has been used in many KFC products before. This time, it comes with flavor sachets to add...well, flavor to the popcorn chicken. There are four available flavor sachets - fiery Curry, zesty BBQ, tangy Tomato and authentic Tomyam. Again, I'm not sure what the KFC promotion department is thinking with this "caps only on the second word" thing. I thought l33t sp34k died in the 90's.

The popcorn chicken comes in the usual box and I poured it into the Popcorn Chicken Shake cup.

I tore up and poured all four flavor sachets into it...

...and I shook! My friends gawped with admiration (or maybe it was embarrassment) when I tried the expert level "One handed shaking it under my crotch" maneuver. It resulted in this mess. The powdered flavor sachets were evenly distributed amongst the popcorn chicken.

I nearly died of Chinese Restaurant Syndrome from the excessive MSG content from four flavor sachets. I'm still recovering, but I'm not impressed with this new KFC offering.

Shake it, baby...
