Earlier this month, McDonald’s had announced that it would be launching a new 5G product. However, what the actual product turned out to be was a special fried chicken, with 5G only being used as a buzzword. Now, KFC seems to be following the same strategy, as it announced the launch of a new tech product as well.

The announcement was made on the official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website, of Kentucky Fried Chicken. In the announcement, the fast food giant also shared an image poster. This featured the fried chicken box that is iconic to the company, although it was green in color over the typical red, and featured what resembles a small charger.

Looking at the image, the KFC box features a small outlet that carries a charger/ handle that seems like the kind you’d find in a gas station or power stations for electric cars. This is further emphasized with a sports car being partially visible in the back. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown what the company actually has in store for us, since McDonald’s pulled a late April fool’s joke on everyone.

Thus, it might just be a new form of fried chicken for the Chinese market or we may even see a small tech product. Who knows, maybe KFC decides to ship a small toy car that can be charged via the electric pump, like toys found in a McDonald’s Happy Meal. But take these speculations with a grain of salt for now.
