Fried chicken is a food staple for many people. Is it healthy? No. Do we care? Also no. There’s a ton of ways to batter it up with different seasonings and enjoy that lovely crunch followed by the tenderness of the chicken. When it comes to restaurants, none of them are as famous for their chicken as KFC. Its original name literally has “fried chicken” in it and the story of those 11 herbs and spices is an American legend that’s gone worldwide. KFC is global, including in Spain where they are really celebrating fried chicken by turning it into a Tamagotchi… sort of. Meet Eduardochi, a digital fried chicken drumstick pet that you must attend to constantly, lest you want it to die.
I can totally understand making this KFC Tamagotchi (excuse me, Eduardochi) device look like a tiny drumstick. But having a little black drummy make a stinky poo and eat snacks is nuts. Check out this video celebrating this bizarre new toy:
Following a pop-up event in Madrid, Eduardochi is available in the KFC app and on its website for fans over there. Sadly, us Americans will have to depend on resellers to nab one but, even now, the resale is only around $30 for some, which isn’t too terrible considering they are at market value for a little over $4. We assume they aren’t the most durable Tamagotchi inspired toys but the chance to take care of a KFC drumstick is too good to pass up.
