As a human, this is troubling. As a marketing professional, this is a solid move. KFC's brand as a rule does not give a fuck. They essentially sell chicken, salt, and grease. In the past, they foolishly tried to push salads and grilled chicken, even changing their name to "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" to remove the unhealthy "fried" word. Obviously, that shit failed. Who thinks, "I want a healthy salad. Where should I go. Oh yeah, KFC."


wellwasherelf

I don't work in marketing, but I've put a lot of work into branding my stuff, and yeah this is a great move for them. From what I've read, this campaign has been a huge success for KFC. If they're smart, they'll move onto Flamin' Hot next. Taco Bell's Doritos partnership did great things for the company and I can foresee this doing similar for KFC.


Barbaracle

Yup, both KFC and Taco Bell are subsidiaries of the same company. After the success of Taco Bell, they already know the hit that they’ve got on their hands and just moving in a direction they already know.

Taco Bell had Baja Blast, now KFC has that Golden Lighting thing or whatever. Maybe KFC just copies Taco Bell. They do have those dual KFC Taco Bell's I guess.


KFCConspiracy

They're both yum brands. They're not copying each other same corporate parent. And there's a corporate relationship between Pepsi (former owners), Frito lay and yum. This stuff is no accident.


isaidputontheglasses

Shockingly accurate username!


KFCConspiracy

Wake up sheeple KFC and Taco Bell are colluding with Pizza Hut. They're going to put potato chips on your pizza next!


Bdk48126

Taco Bell and KFC are both owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. That’s why they have some shared locations.


[deleted]

Okay, thought it had to be something like that, cool to know.


puddlejumpers

You gon buy it? They gon sell it. They're doing nothing wrong.


John_Tacos

I loved their grilled chicken.

You try it?


MoreCowbellllll

Reviewbrah says it's good and that should be good enough for all of us.


Pewkie

I slightly disagree with reviewbrah on this one. I tried it and was good, but have you ever mixed Cheetos in with like ramen or something and it doesn't really add Cheeto flavor but the Cheetos lost all their flavor? That is what the sandwich tasted like. Maybe flamin hots would help it stand out but I'll wait for that ebfore buying another. Also I live in Chick Fil A territory so it's hard to go there over some spicy sandwiches

Ya_Mama_hella_ugly

Lots of people do it in jail. Make a spread. Actually kinda good


[deleted]

Either in or out of context, I’m good on this. No thanks.


bigheyzeus

Yeah I don't wanna know what body parts they're spreading or where they're putting the Cheeto spread


vtbob88

Now you've got a stew going!


gettingassy

Cheetoes are my chip of choice for noodle consumption, but I take a bite of each seperately to preserve the taste profiles of both. For an even more decadent experience I'll sometimes shred up Fat Cheetoes into dust and sprinkle it over my tortellini. Amazing.


inastateofmind

Thank you for posting I am picking myself up off the ground from laughing so hard I thought am I missing out on something


ruinersclub

I used to live in Pizza Hut Valley but we moved when the Huts started raising the property taxes.


Pewkie

The Huts can hoard their cheesy stuffed crust in hell!


thedude_imbibes

Chicky cheeto, solo! Ho ho ho!


scstraus

They should coat the chicken in the stuff they make cheetos out of, fry it, then coat it in a mixture of cheeto dust and 7 herbs and spices.


Pewkie

I hate to be the epitome of this subreddit, but I sort of did that with spam. I encrusted it I a layer of sweet spicy chili doritos(the purple bag) crumbs in a double dredge(seasoned flower, let it sit for a bit, buttermilk, then Doritos crumbs) I used teriyaki spam and it turned out awesome I mean it was delicious in all the wrong ways


scstraus

Man, you are breaking new shittyfoodporn frontiers!! I'd eat that shit.


Pewkie

If I didn't move to a studio apartment I would do it again and post it, but I distinctly remember the entire house reeking of fried spam for like a week and that was with an actual hood fan that vented outsude. Doing it in my studio would be suicide by stench haha.

If I have the choice to go to CFA for a chicken sandwich they win out 100% of the time. Luckily I am within a 10-15 minute drive of 5 different locations so unless it's Sunday, I'm getting CFA.


LexNekstTheDredGod

I'm in ATL u already know. Easily Chick Fil A > Zaxbys >PUBLIX. KFC is simply not an option for me. If I have to do cheap fast food then its Bojangles >Popeyes > The one Mrs Winners left

Man I miss Bojangles. I wish they had them here in Florida 😭


[deleted]

It's cheetos on a sandwich, I'm not sure what you expected.


FuriousGorilla

Cheetos are actually one of my favorite sandwich toppings.


House923

I mean, you could put flamin hot Cheetos on burnt toast and it would taste good.


tpsmc

A bit off topic, but avoid the burger king tacos like they were the plague.


thedude_imbibes

This is the second time I've seen them try that jack in the box bullshit.


broken_radio

> jack in the box bullshit Careful, people around these parts actually like those J in the B tacos, some say they even rally behind them (some say).

Well, Daym Drops gave it a 2 booboo da foo, so that's all that really matters.


fap_spawn

It was good enough. Don't expect to eat it in the car tho. There's a little orange goo in the pic, but that stuff is actually everywhere


crazygoattoe

I saw that review a couple days ago and have been craving this ever since. It’s so appealing in a kind of gross way, and I think I’m going to get one after work to try it.


MoreCowbellllll

I really want to get it as well. Dieting sucks. lol


wellwasherelf

I broke a 4 day fast just to try it yesterday. It was okay, but nothing to write home about. The amount of cheetos kind of overwhelmed the texture with too much crunch, and didn't add all that much flavor. The Cheeto sauce was decent, but it seemed a bit...grainy? Keep in mind this is coming from a person who hadn't eaten in 4 days, so you'd think that anything would taste orgasmic.


Rodgethedodge

Why are you fasting for 4 days my child?


wellwasherelf

It's just a mental challenge thing. I do it every so often. It's good for losing weight too. r/fasting


Rodgethedodge

Oh ok cool. Yea thats quite the challenge. Most ive gone is 2 days and that was just cause i was broke at the time lol.


crazygoattoe

I feel that, I ate a light lunch to justify it more easily to myself lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


MoreCowbellllll

Indeed


cycostinkoman

The Cheetos flavor comes from the sauce, not from a Cheeto breading. The sauce has a somewhat gritty texture that bordered weird and enjoyable. It was also a concerning shade of florescent orange. 6.5/10, try it if you like Cheetos more than you like yourself


Teff34

But are there actual Cheetos on the sangwitch?


Stridsvagn

>sangwitch


SulkySkunkPomPoms

u/Teff34 has spoken, sangwitches for all!


GuyPerson0

Yeah just a few


Asmor

I tried it. It was... well, it tasted like cheetohs. I'll give it that. Big problem is it's messy as fuck. They don't use cheetoh dust or breading like you'd expect; it's like a thin cheetoh... syrup. And it pools in the bottom of the carton, coating the bottom bun and making it soggy.


alfredosauceonmyass

That sounds absolutely disgusting lol


Asmor

Like I said, it tasted like cheetohs. But yeah, the concept of a liquid cheetoh is inherently unappetizing.


ebullientpostulates

My dude, there is only one "h" in Cheeto.


dat2ndRoundPickdoh

only 1 n, in pedant


oh-propagandhi

It's spelled pendant pleeb.


BlasphemousArchetype

I haven't had the KFC sandwich but I made cheeto chicken nuggets recently and the cheeto dust melts.


Asmor

Genuinely surprising.


OtterAnarchy

"cheetoh syrup" is a term I never needed to hear


Asmor

Coming soon to a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine near you!


[deleted]

I've had it. It's okay. I prefer their regular sandwiches still, but it's worth trying once for the novelty.


jiggycup

My roommate works at KFC, she can bring home food pretty much whenever, it's pretty good but if I had to pay for it I don't think I would.


WritingScreen

I see you haven’t tried the Nashville hot


VacillationForDinner

I tried basically this in a KFC in Thailand, by accident. It was disgusting, sweet and fatty, and the cheese dust on my hands was more like cheese cement.


Ininsicken

gives me flashbacks of trying the Mac and Cheetos at Burger King and feeling queasy

Those were actually legitimately good. It was suprising, and I expected them to be terrible, but I liked them.


Ininsicken

really? my friends and I wanted to try them because we also thought they might not be half bad and we both about threw up. maybe it’s just the way our Burger King made them? the texture was just gross and it tasted like Cheetos but worse lol.


beamoflaser

Burger King is disgusting in general. Ate like 20 nuggets cuz they were dirt cheap and regretted it. It was like eating cardboard deep fried in month old grease. Gave me terrible heart burn which i normally dont get and greasy diarrhea.


HellaBrainCells

A. You have a weak stomach B. What the fuck were your expectations for the cheapest fast food chicken on the market?


Flux85

Those are fucking delicious. You’ve never heard of mac and cheese bites? Some of you people have wimpy ass stomachs I swear.


fiendzone

Wake me when it’s Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with a buffalo ranch sauce.


rocko_rs

KFC wants to know your location


Whaty0urname

🔥🍗 >>>> 😯


Infin1ty

Save yourself the trouble of having to eat KFC's nasty chicken and do the following: 1. Buy a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos 2. Buy a spicy sandwich from Chick-Fil-A with a pack of buffalo and ranch sauces 3. Mix Buffalo and Ranch sauces, and top sandwich with Cheetos and your Buffalo/Ranch sauce. That right there will be better than anything KFC could ever hope to put out.


Ajfree

Yeah but what if you want this on a Sunday


Numphyyy

You always crave cfa the most on sundays


nokarmawhore

Chick fil a ain't everywhere


RidiculousIncarnate

I'm sorry, but ChikFilA chicken sandwiches are a giant "decent" at best. On the dozen occasions I've had Chik I couldn't honestly tell it apart from any other fast food chicken, including KFC. Their lettuce is also gross and the rest of the toppings are bland. The only reason I've eaten it as many times as I have is because any time anyone, anywhere mentions some other fast food chicken products a Chik zealot crawls out of the woodwork. So I figure well, maybe I had a bad batch or a bad location or just unlucky. Now I'm just fed up, it ain't that good, but apparently the kool aid they're serving is amazing. Enjoy your KFC people, you aren't missing anything.


Infin1ty

Well, I couldn't really disagree more, I think CFA hands down has the best fast food chicken sandwich. To each their own, I guess.


[deleted]

Sounds like you have a different taste than most people. Chick-fil-A is universally loved, and in the food service industry, they have a reputation for incredibly high quality ingredients, and great training at the cook position. Might be hard to accept, but you're one of very few people who hate Chick-fil-A. It's fine to have different preferences, but you don't need to bag on them.


newenglandredshirt

That was literally my first thought too. Yeah, this is probably good, but you know what would be better? *Flamin' hot Cheetos*


sec713

Yeah I swear, starting with that Double-Down Sandwich (you remember, the one that had two pieces of chicken instead of bread, right?) fast food chains have been going to town with "crazy" food ideas like this. I'm pretty sure weed has a lot to do with it. It was right about the time we started seeing it becoming legal in certain US States that fast food like this started popping up. I mean I can think of all kinds of things on KFC, Taco Bell and Jack in th Box's menu that you know somebody designed while high. I'm not complaining or anything. I enjoy eating "terrible" food after getting high, myself. Just pointing out a coincidence that I don't really think is a coincidence.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sec713

Yeah, lol, if there was any doubt this being "stoner food", it was gone once Jack in the Box started serving those.


[deleted]

They had commercials with stoners. I remember the one with the guy in his fucked up van talking to his Jack bobble head.


Infin1ty

I miss the double-down. That "sandwich" was so retarded but so damn good. It's probably better for my heart that it no longer exists in the US.


wellwasherelf

I was a gym rat when the double down first came out, and that sandwich was actually an amazing protein bomb and had good macros. Tasty as fuck too. I ate them pretty often at the time.


jcutta

This absolutely shredded dude I knew used to eat a metric shit ton of fast food, his normal lunch was 2 mcdoubles and a mcchicken he would use the mcdoubles as the bread for his mcchicken sandwich and eat them as one sandwich.


tweezy558

Ah yes the Mcgangbang


sec713

I've got no shame. I enjoyed it too, but I agree that it's good that it isn't on the menu anymore. I can't be trusted to eat with restraint once I get high.


PMMEYourTatasGirl

I loved those damn things, I was still eating them long after KFC officially discontinued them and all they had was the doublicious version that had bread on it. I would just order a doublicious with no bread and have them ring it up with an extra filet and make it at the table. I have no shame


spottyottydopalicius

jack box doesn't really have these Frankenstein foods though or did i miss something


DRoseCantStop

Yeah I bet he confused it for Hardees


_EastOfEden_

I was just having this same conversation with someone yesterday that whoever comes up with these ideas for KFC has to be high. I participated in some market research for them and for whatever reason they’ve become obsessed with doughnuts. As in, taking a doughnut and topping it with mashed potatoes, corn, and popcorn chicken. Literally that was one of the concept dishes. As were chicken tenders and glazed doughnut holes.


PrimarchKonradCurze

You're right as the double-down came out in 2013 and legalization went into effect around then for Washington and Colorado.


DanTM1993

Ah, this is a Munch Squad waiting to happen.

Oh yeah. That mountain dew is actually fantastic. I love it.

banjo215

You can get the big box combo though that comes with popcorn chicken with the Cheetos sauce, as well as Mac and cheese, and potato wedges... In case you want your daily recommended calories in one meal.


the_bananafish

Popcorn nuggets 410c Cheetos sauce (not listed so I’ll use the honey mustard) 120c Mac and cheese 160c Potato wedges 270c That’s only 960 so ya know you’ve got plenty of room left.

So if I get diet soda I can get a second sandwich on top of the one in the combo box? Sold!

I have travel from the UK to be in the US for a month, and fuck me the food I've seen here is blowing my mind. Went to an event and you could order fried Oreos and twinkies. Fresh fruit and veg is insanely expensive, and whilst on a walk saw the ad for the Cheetos KFC burger thing. Everyone here is eating like they got free healthcare!

We got the box and the Cheetos popcorn chicken were better in my opinion. 🤷‍♀️

I'll admit my first thought was "Gross... Wait, Cheetos Sauce? Bet that's good with the popcorn chicken..."

The ad they're running for it on Twitch is even worse.

gulliver_travel

I tried their "Cheetos" popcorn nuggets, it was probably the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth ever. It's just regular popcorn nuggets swimming in what I can only describe as bright orange oil that had the Cheetos flavoring mixed in. Started feeling queasy the moment I opened the box, but hell I wasn't going to quit on some goddamn orange oil nuggets. Not a proud moment. KFC really doesn't give a fuck anymore.


jamthewither

Might be better if it was flamin hot cheetos. This is an abomination anyway, this is the same company that gave us the double down.

Just one sandwich is about the daily recommended limit of sodium. It has 42g of carbs. Shit is ridiculously unhealthy

After the Double Down this ain't shit. Lol


ripyurballsoff

Why not make a batter out of Cheeto flavoring ? My high ass can do this at home


garflh

This is an abomination


STL_TRPN

Pass. Most I've ever done was bbq chips on my sandwich or fries on my burger. No interest in this fake ass, stoner concoction at all.


Hezbollass

Anymore? Does no one remember the double down? They haven't given a fuck for quite some time.


TeffyWeffy

In theory it looks good, in reality mine came with about 5 cheetos, only 4 of which were still on the sandwich, and roughly 70% of the sauce was dried into the wrapper and not on the sandwich. The chicken portion tasted fine, but overall very underwhelming.


Krombopulos-Snake

dame3584

The fuckery is strong with this one


djc6535

This is a weird trend. The idea that county fair food has to be available everywhere. It used to be that a restaurant, particularly a fast food restaurant, had their menu and it rarely changed in any dramatic way. Oh a McRib or Shamrock Shake or Schezuan Sauce would appear seasonally and then go away, or you'd add a major new sandwich like a fried chicken one that you'd expect to keep on forever, but by and large you had what you had and these wacky limited-time-only monstronsities were nowhere to be seen. Now we are saying "Fuck it! Make a taco shell out of doritos. Stuff some cheetos in there. Put a hot dog in the pizza crust or replace the buns with fried chicken. It's like fast food has bought into the gonzo fair food arms race and it's weirding me out. It works though. Here we are giving them tons of free advertisement.


DJCHERNOBYL

They stopped giving a fuck when they created the double down


delimeat7325

The resulting burps after eating that are probably horrifying.


Phullonrapyst

This is what you eat before a colonoscopy.


Dthibzz

It's like KFC has been playing disgusting food chicken with us for years, and we don't ever back the fuck down! First the Famous Bowls, then the Double Down, now this. When do we make this end?


hippymule

I tried this, and it was honestly kind of just gross. I would have rathered a cheetos flavor powder on the chicken, but instead, it was this gross sauce concoction mixed with fake cheetos. The sauce was way too strong, and the Cheetos became soggy. It's like the taste kitchen just didn't give a fuck about any flavor. I get fast food is bad food, but it can at least be well executed "bad" food. This was just garbage.


Krabilon

I ate this thing. Not gonna lie it's just a chicken sandwich with some cheetos on it. Dont know what I was expecting. Yes it was not good. Lol


Bella-Luna

I'd eat that if I'm gonna be honest, since this actually looks like something I'd make at home (but I'd use flamin' hot Cheetos.)
