Fast Food of the Future

by Terrence O'Brien on February 13, 2008 at 03:03 PM

The Future of Portable Food

If we've learned one thing from the KFC Famous Bowls, it's that Americans love to find absurd ways to make food more convenient and efficient. OhGizmo! has a pair of food related innovations that stop shy of a "failure pile in a sadness bowl," but at least one still crosses the line in to fast food ridiculousness.

With only six locations nationwide, Korean-based BBQ Chicken USA is a somewhat obscure fast-food chain, but it is bound to make waves with its new Col-Pop Chicken menu item. The dual-leveled cup features a top section for chicken nuggets that fits above the bottom soda container. Yes, you can have warm soda and cold nuggets in one easy-to-carry vessel!

On the slightly more useful side, but still somewhat of a novelty, is Cereal on the Go. The ingenious, two-compartment container keeps milk or yogurt cold in a bottom-insulated cup with the help of a freezable gel pack, while keeping cereal dry and crisp in a attachable bowl until it's ready for consumption. Cereal on the Go even comes with a foldable plastic spoon. As clever as it is we're not sure how much we'd be eating cereal "on the go," and the idea of carrying around a container of milk in our bag or briefcase that could open and ruin everything inside scares the hell out of us, but we'll file these doodads under "nifty!"
