fast food

From the Huffington Post:

Krystal Henderson, 29, and 7-year-old Oliver Hallam purchased takeout from a KFC branch in Killingsworth, according to the Express. At home, Oliver took a bite out of what he assumed was chicken, but recoiled seconds later. "He pulled it out of his mouth and when he did, it pulled away the batter - you could see the blue roll inside," Henderson said, according to the Daily Mail. Henderson said that realizing Oliver had bitten into a paper towel was worse than if it had just been bad chicken.

Never before has the phrase "hold the pickles" led to more near-bloodshed. Luckily, no one was hurt from this incident, except maybe our collective dignity as a nation/race of sentient beings.

Dario D at Alphalia has been working on a project comparing fast food items to their real-life counterparts. It's been done before, but his write-ups and process is well worth the read.

WARNING: You'll probably avoid eating at Pizza Hut for a month or so after seeing this.

McDonald's has apparently been handing out mozzarella sticks with no mozzarella in them.  Several disappointed customers have turned to Twitter to share photos of the sad looking "hollow breading" sticks. These images have gone viral as the rest of the world sympathizes with these unfortunate people's lack of snack.
