KFC Unveils Squid Game-Inspired Chicken Sandwich with a Twist
KFC has taken inspiration from the popular Netflix series, Squid Game, to create a limited-time meal that has left customers intrigued and eager to try it out. The highlight of this special meal is the uniquely colored pink bun, reminiscent of the iconic Pink Soldiers' jumpsuits from the series.
In the world of Squid Game, the Pink Soldiers are known for their bright pink triangle jumpsuits, enforcing strict rules and order among the contestants. Drawing from this imagery, KFC has introduced a pink sesame seed bun to pay homage to the show, coinciding with the recent release of Season 2 on Netflix.
Currently, the KFC Squid Game meal is exclusively available in Spain, offering a delectable crispy chicken fillet sandwich accompanied by Korean BBQ sauce, coleslaw, pickles, and the eye-catching pink bun that sets it apart from the regular menu items.
For those looking to indulge further, the KFC Squid Game meal also includes a choice of a bucket of 12 spicy wings or 10 crispy chicken strips, both generously coated with the flavorful Korean BBQ glaze. To enhance the immersive experience, the meal packaging features images of iconic Squid Game characters, adding a touch of excitement to every order.

While customers in Spain have expressed their delight in both the visual appeal and taste of the Squid Game meal, KFC enthusiasts in the US have been left longing for a taste of this exclusive offering.
Expressing their envy, one KFC customer lamented on social media, "Every cool collaboration or unique item seems to be launched outside the US. We miss out on so much!" Another commenter echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the allure of international fast-food offerings.
Despite the US missing out on the Squid Game meal craze, KFC Spain is not the only fast-food chain to jump on the Squid Game bandwagon. Down under in Australia, McDonald's introduced its own Squid Game meal, featuring a dalgona candy challenge where customers had the chance to win a whopping $100,000 by successfully carving the candy into a specific shape without it breaking.
