LOUISVILLE, Ky. — KFC plans to make a space pioneer out of a chicken sandwich next week when it sends it to the edge of the atmosphere with the help of a high-altitude balloon.
The promotional stunt for the Zinger sandwich comes two months after the fast food chain unveiled Rob Lowe playing Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders in a space suit as part of an ad campaign. The ads promised to send the breaded chicken sandwich into space.
KFC is partnering with balloon maker World View on the project. The chain says the launch window opens June 21 for what it says is the longest controlled stratospheric balloon flight with a commercial payload in history. The sandwich will return to earth and bring back telemetry data.

I don't know which cartoon to suggest: the highbrow route with Isaac Newton dropping his apple in favor of an offered Zinger or the ape from 2001 throwing his bone up into the air.

obv. the ape would throw a double down up into the air

lol at another one of these promotions that in the end amounts to "and remember, normally our food has been sitting there for fifteen minutes after a limp reheat from frozen!"

If I wanted a fresh burger, I would go to a proper place. If I'm at McDonalds I obviously couldn't give a fuck about freshness and would prefer not spending an extra minute actually being in a McDonalds.

Let the choirs sing hallelujah.
Previously, when I entered a taxi or hired car, I found completely unable to request that the driver swing by a fast-food establishment. Now mine eyes have been opened to the wondrous possibilities of life in this new golden age of Camry/chalupa integration.

A lot of people in the ag industries in general, but specifically talking about meat, would have benefited tremendously from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. There's a real crazy quilt of tariffs and fees and things, and this would have simplified a lot of that for the Asian markets, which are huge markets for U.S. meat these days. And there's a lot of concern for the future of NAFTA. The official line is, “We're not looking to walk away from NAFTA—we're just trying to renegotiate it.” There's a lot of concern that in order to get, for example, more automobile manufacturing back on this side of the border from Mexico, they might be using ag products, specifically meat, as sort of a lever for that.I think what they're really excited about is new avenues—you have this Millennial generation that's really much more open to different kinds of tastes and cuts, and the industry is kind of giddy about what they can do, and flavors that they can play with, and different presentations that are being sought out by audiences that have not been sought out previously.
