KFC has recently launched a limited-time Squid Game meal featuring a striking pink sesame seed bun, aimed at enticing fans of the popular Netflix series. This unique offering pays homage to the show’s iconic Pink Soldiers, who are recognized for their bright, triangle-patterned jumpsuits.
Marking the release of Season 2 of Squid Game, KFC’s meal includes a delectable crispy chicken fillet sandwich topped with Korean BBQ sauce, coleslaw, pickles, and of course, the eye-catching pink bun. This distinctive meal is currently available in Spain.
This KFC Squid Game meal does not stop at just the sandwich; it also includes a bucket option featuring 12 spicy wings or 10 crispy chicken strips, all slathered in the same savory Korean BBQ glaze. To enhance the experience, the meal packaging showcases imagery from the Squid Game universe.
American Fans Express Jealousy Over Squid Game Meal
While patrons in Spain rave about the meal’s aesthetic and flavor, KFC lovers in the United States have voiced their envy over the exclusive offering. One dissatisfied fan lamented, “Every cool collab or item is always outside of the US,” in response to an Instagram post showcasing the meal.
@anne66080 I loved the promos in Madrid. #squidgames2 #madrid #spain #eljuegodelcalamar #kfcmeals
Responses on social media reflect a growing sentiment among US customers. One user shared, “The US gets nothing, ever. This is why I don’t judge people that go to other countries and try the ‘same’ fast food we got here. Trust me, it’s not the same. It’s better everywhere else.”
Another user echoed this feeling, stating, “People like to say America gets all the cool stuff, but we just get shown more collabs. These foreign ones be amazing and better most of the time.”
KFC Spain isn’t alone in embracing the Squid Game craze; this phenomenon can also be seen with McDonald’s Australia, which has put forth its own Squid Game meal that includes a unique dalgona candy challenge. One lucky participant could even win $100,000 by successfully carving a shape from the candy without breaking it.
