Glass Chicken Wine and Whiskey Decanter Set: Cock-A-Doodle-Drink

Posted on 13/05/2022 by hite

Because what better way to let guests know you take Thanksgiving far more seriously than anyone ever should, The Wine Savant has crafted the Rooster Glass Decanter Set. Available on Amazon (affiliate link), the set features a headless rooster decanter, along with two tasting glasses. Obviously, it’s perfect for sipping turkey gravy at the dinner table while your family watches in horror.

The cock-a-doodle-decanter holds 500ml of your favorite wine or spirit and has received 5 out of 5 stars according to nine reviews on Amazon. Clearly, there’s something I’m missing here. Per one verified buyer: “This cock will be proudly displayed for every party we have moving forward.” Well, the thing I’m missing definitely isn’t maturity.

Personally, I don’t drink anything that warrants decanting, but that’s just me, and I’m old-fashioned. And by old fashioned, I mean drink cheap domestic beer out of a beer helmet. My wife hates it, especially when I insist on wearing it at the fancy dinner parties her friends throw.

Knitted Chicken Hats: Chick Couture

Posted on 17/02/2022 by hite

Because no chicken should have to cock-a-doodle-doo with a cold head, Etsy shop ChixStitch is selling these knitted chicken hats with ties for your fine feathered friends. They look cozy, don’t they? I don’t even own any chickens, and I’m tempted to buy a few in the event life throws me a curveball in the form of live chickens I need to mother. Hey, stranger things have happened.

Available in a variety of colors, the chicken caps are priced at a very reasonable $6.95. Granted, I’m saying that’s reasonable, but I’ve never been in the chicken hat buying market before, so I really have no frame of reference. Sounds fair enough, though. I’m going to knit a human-sized version for myself, so I can match my potential future chicken children!

Couple them with some chicken arms, and your poultry will have never looked so good! Of course, if you own more than one chicken, you are required to buy arms and hats for them all, so they don’t get jealous and… peckish.

Artist Crafts a Chicken Leg Knife: Cock-A-Doodle-Dagger

Posted on 21/12/2021 by hite

Proving that art isn’t dead, it’s just gotten extremely esoteric, Berlin, Germany-based artist and inventor Uri Tuchman crafted a beautiful wood and metal dagger inspired by the shape of a chicken leg. Now you can carve your chicken with a chicken! What a time to be alive and not a chicken.

The video details the entire chicken dagger-making process from beginning to end, including meticulously cutting and carving the wooden thigh sheath, then shaping and grinding the leg bone dagger portion. I think it goes without saying, but KFC really missed out not asking Uri to make them a dagger to use in one of those weird Colonel Sanders commercials they’ve been producing lately.

I believe Uri has just created the perfect weapon for a king’s feast assassination! You just pretend you’re eating your chicken leg, then a little discreet king-stabbing action, then return to pretending to eat your chicken, and nobody will be the wiser! I mean, unless they weren’t serving chicken at the feast, in which case it’s dungeon time for you.

Motorcycle Beer Can Chicken Stands: Born to Be Barbecue

Posted on 26/04/2021 by hite

Just when I thought you couldn’t make beer can chicken any better, Etsy seller Tom’s RiDICKulous Things (real mature, Tom!) starts manufacturing these motorcycle beer can chicken holders. I can already close my eyes and sense the jealousy of all my friends when I lift the grill lid and they see this easy rider.

Each dishwasher safe, stainless steel motorcycle costs $31.50 and holds a single can of beer and bird for grilling. Plus each comes with a pair of shades so everything else on the grill knows who the coolest bird in Grilltown is. Should you make motorcycle engine revving sounds every time you open the barbecue? I mean how could you not?

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but if you don’t have a can of beer but still want to make beer can chicken, I can tell you from personal experience that substituting a juice box is NOT a good idea. I know it sounds like one, but it’s not. Just trust me. Neither is a pint of chocolate milk.

This KFC Firelog Smells Like Fried Chicken

Posted on 13/12/2018 by Conner Flynn

KFC knows how to celebrate the holiday season. This year when you sit down by the fire, put one of these fried chicken-scented logs on. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to eat one, but it sure smells good. If you don’t have any fried chicken, burning these in your fireplace will make you want some for sure.

It is called the “KFC 11 Herbs and Spices firelog.” Light it up, smell KFC chicken. The logs will set you back $18.99 each, and are only available while supplies last. This would make a pretty funny Christmas gift, so get one while you can.

It is the latest in KFC’s often bizarre marketing strategy. “At KFC, we have always been proud of our role in bringing loved ones together at the dinner table around a bucket of our world-famous fried chicken,” Andrea Zahumensky, KFC US’ CMO, said. “Now, this winter we’re bringing all the things we love – family, friends and fried chicken – together around the fire with our scented firelog.

All I know is that Santa is going to be sad when he smells this, and there’s no chicken.

This Vending Machine Serves Up Fried Chicken

Posted on 13/12/2018 by Conner Flynn

Food dispensed from a machine is usually not the freshest, but what if we’re talking about a vending machine that serves up fresh fried chicken? That’s what the Lawson Karaage-kun robot does. Naturally, the machine looks like a chicken too, because Japan. A chicken serving chicken? That just seems wrong.

Japanese convenience chain Lawson Inc. is testing out the machine right now at an outlet in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo. The machine has “state-of-the-art” technology that allows it to fry chicken in a little over a minute. Basically, fried chicken is prepared and kept warm until someone orders it. That’s not my definition of “fresh,” but to each their own.

If the machine proves successful, the company may adapt it to dish out other types of fried foods. Hell, maybe we will see this chicken-faced machine at KFC soon. I hope not because it looks a bit terrifying if you ask me. The trial will only operate during the daytime from now until December 28, 2018, so if you happen to be in Tokyo, you might want to go check it out.
