Limited KFC pop-up hotel offers guests unlimited fried chicken

Aug 11 2021

A new hotel set to open in London will not only be KFC themed but will offer its guests unlimited fried chicken. The brand are hosting a staycation pop-up hotel in hotel House of Harland between the 18th and 29th of August in London. Guests will be fancily picked up from Kings Cross station in a Black Cadillac to be privately escorted to the hotel in trendy Shoreditch. There, a chick-in-clerk will welcome the guests and offer as much fried food as one wants.

Behind the door or room 11, where the KFC suite is located, a ‘press-for-chicken’ button has been set up. Pushing that button will summon a slew of fried foods for the guest to enjoy. Accompanied by a Hot Winger Arcade Machine and a cinema room showing ‘chick flicks’, the suite can host two adults for the available six days. Any proceeds will be donated to the KFC Foundation and due to it being a pop-up hotel, it seems as though people will be flocking to book their lucky stay!

WATCH: Man with pet pigeon hitches a Tal-Linja ride

Aug 11 2021

It’s one of those you have to see it to believe it moments. A man hopped onto a Tal-Linja bus accompanied by his beloved pet. Were it a dog, possibly a cat, no one would have batted an eye. This particular man sat on the bus with a pigeon on a leash, with the bird perched on his shoulder and behaving extremely well. The man himself was completely unbothered, evidently accustomed to having a pigeon on his shoulder.

The footage garnered some opinions on social media – some delighted at the sight, some bewildered, others concerned the bird might decide to fly away briefly onto some other poor passenger. Whatever the reactions were, it sure wasn’t an everyday scenario.
