KFC migrates from Kentucky Fried Chicken to Kentucky Fried Cup

Updated on March 15, 2015

I am a coffeeholic through and through. A sniff of brewing coffee and you’d find me being roped in by a random coffee joint. I also like my coffee bitter, very bitter. And I know this for a fact that not many like it that way. While some prefer their coffee very light, others like a watered down version of it (coffee flavored water, that’s what I call it) and then, there are those who have nothing to do with coffee, but drink it for the sake of the cup or joint it is being served at (remember, the Starbucks struck crowd in the joint’s initial days in the country).

Whatever maybe the reason, coffee has quickly risen to fame in the past few years. While, it still is a secondary beverage in a country like ours, it is cant’t-do-without beverage in the West (in most countries in the West ). Kentucky Fried Chicken aka KFC in the UK has decided to cash on it. The chicken giant would be celebrating its half-a-century of existence this year and thus, has decided to introduce a limited version of Scoff-ee Cup to serve coffee.

Later this year, select KFC outlets in the UK would serve coffee in a cup which you can eat, as well…..What?  Yes, Scoff-ee Cup apparently is an edible cup. After you drink your coffee, munch on the cup. Ewwwww, an edible foam cup. Take a closer look, the cup is made of a cookie. Ensconced in sugar paper (which of course, is edible), the cup is wrapper in layers of white chocolate (which has been imparted the nature of being heat resistant)which would ensure your cookie’s crisp quotient and your coffee’s hotness quotient, as well. As you drink your coffee , the chocolate lining would slowly melt adding onto the sweetness of your coffee. Once you finish drinking your coffee, eat the softened cookie.

This would also lift your mood. The cup bears the scent of a coconut sun cream, freshly cut grass and wildflowers which The Robin Collective (the experimental food experts ) claim to be mood lifting scents.

Are you one of those who would like to taste this exotic cup and drink coffee out of it, as well? In that case, head to the United Kingdom! Sweet tooth owners would have a gala time drinking and munching on this cup, but those who dig the bitter taste of coffee would feel otherwise. If you belong to the latter category, order yourself a bucket chicken instead of a coffee. After all, you are at KFC, which is finger licking good!
