What's "fast food" in Chinese?
What's "fast food" in Chinese?
Apr 11
A friend just came back from a trip visiting family in Hong Kong – I got a knock off set of Constructicons (or was it Destructicons – they were just outside my time in Transformer land) out of the deal, which is awesome. They made up names for them, which start logically enough and then just get wierd – the dump truck is Feeding and the crane truck is Sanitation.
Anyhow, he was telling me about the toy you can buy at KFC there – I know! They have KFC there! Now, I’m a big fan of fast food. The food is ok, but the corporate machinations are something incredible. You know guys who study sharks or tornadoes? Yeah, that’s me, only with fast food. It can kill, but at times that power is a sight to behold and be in awe. So, this kind of thing was right up my alley.
Artist Eric So (I’d seen some of this action figures before) has created a line of little dudes with sign language for heads. Absolutely incredible. The letters that require a gesture? Those dudes have clear plastic arrows indicating the hand movement. There’s one for every letter in the alphabet and KFC HK has them.
At two bucks a pop, I’d buy em. And the plane ticket. And accomodations. And the promotion is over now. And… aw, never mind.
