KFC's Go Cups Mean Never Getting Out of Your Car to Eat, Ever Again (Just Watch the Sauce!)

As far as food goes, the new KFC "Go Cups" aren't offering up anything new; the fried chicken, potato wedges and hot wings are all from the regular menu. What's "new" about the Go Cups is the packaging and the price. All five Go Cup options cost less than $3, and they are conveniently packaged for eating on the go. You can choose from Chicken Littles® Original Recipe® Bites, Hot Wings™, Original Recipe® Boneless or Extra Crispy™ Tenders -- and all five come with a side of seasoned potato wedges and are served in a little container designed to fit your car's cup holder.

In order to test just how convenient these little cups are, I ate while driving around Houston. I ordered a Chicken Little (a mini-chicken sandwich on the cutest, tiniest bun you've ever seen) and a Hot Wing Go Cup, and then cranked up the tunes and cruised the streets while enjoying my lunch.
