Snack to the Future: Col-Pop, an All-in-One Food / Drink Cup

seriouseats.com — Proving yet again that South Korea is light years ahead of everyone else in fast-food technology is the Col-Pop. A new era of snack portability is among us with this mashup of drink cup and food container that holds popcorn chicken up top and a cold drink in the bottom. In S. Korea, it's sold w/ spaghetti, french fries, and fried mozzarella balls.

  • kevinrose, on 02/06/2008, -10/+147There is something about taking a sip out of my chicken nuggets that just doesn't feel right...
  • nickburka, on 02/06/2008, -0/+97It's no burger in a can though...
  • inactive, on 02/06/2008, -2/+60EAT UP, FATTIES!
  • raphaelbrion, on 02/06/2008, -1/+59OM NOM NOM NOM
  • Dan137exe, on 02/06/2008, -2/+39Obligatory "2foods1cup" comment.
  • hatchback, on 02/06/2008, -6/+42Hi Kevin: I'm the guy in the pix and video. It's a little disconcerting at first. But you get used to it. I think we have to conquer our fear of the unfamiliar if we are to live in a better world—a world in which hot, hot chicken tots ride harmoniously atop a reservoir of ice cold soda.
  • whiteknives, on 02/06/2008, -1/+21Dugg for the "Portability Factor" Graph.
  • Tyr86, on 02/06/2008, -0/+18You mean like chicken wings on the top and beer on the bottom?
  • LongShlong, on 02/06/2008, -0/+17They don't happen to have healthy choices in such containers, do they?
  • satanswetnipple, on 02/06/2008, -1/+18Why don't they make chopstick straws? Eat and drink with the same utensils!
  • Havoc737903, on 02/06/2008, -1/+16Great, now people are going to be able to get twice as fat, with half the effort.
  • coheedcollapse, on 02/06/2008, -0/+12Wouldn't the wafting scent of the chicken nuggets so close to your nose make your soda taste weird?
  • skellener, on 02/06/2008, -0/+12I'm waiting for the version you can strap to your face like a feedbag!
  • Oomsoup, on 02/06/2008, -0/+12Yeah, it's weird. I see "OM NOM NOM NOM" here so much and yet I still digg it every time. Hearing that in my head at random moments never gets old.
  • Hoogs, on 02/06/2008, -0/+11Dugg for 'om'.
  • UPGR4Y3DD, on 02/06/2008, -0/+10That dude in the photo looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid w/a beard.
  • accessviolation, on 02/06/2008, -3/+12Hatchback. Please, for the love of god, stop replying to all of the comments.
  • cmezak, on 02/06/2008, -1/+9Will somebody please help me cram more hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and salt into my mouth?! I'm begging you!!! PLEASE HELP ME
  • skafasta, on 02/06/2008, -2/+10Two foods...and only one cup? Incredible...
  • vkorobkax, on 02/06/2008, -2/+9Anyone else get tired of reading hatchback reply to almost every comment?
  • mortigon, on 02/06/2008, -1/+8Why don't they just make it easier on all of us and figure out a way to mash up the chicken nugets and drink those from a straw too.

    Hell, why don't they mix in the soda and only make us use 1 straw.
  • maxpickles, on 02/06/2008, -2/+9Just think of the multitasking possibilities.It is indeed a big day for straw/container technology.It's not ready for hot coffee and a bagel but, oh how the future looks bright
  • adooga, on 02/06/2008, -1/+7Yep, what you're missing is called "The ***** Article".
  • Animik, on 02/06/2008, -4/+10In Soviet Russian chicken eats you.
  • expert01, on 02/06/2008, -0/+6Popcorn Steak.

    Or pop rocks and coke... mentos and diet coke? Revolutionary new kid snacks from China!
  • PlasmaSnk, on 02/06/2008, -0/+6Wow it's like having your cake and eating it too!
  • inactive, on 02/06/2008, -1/+7Let's just put some peanut butter, jelly, and croûtons into a squeeze tube.
  • ReyX, on 02/06/2008, -1/+6Off the bat... er... cola and popcorn chicken? I dunno.
  • akatherder, on 02/06/2008, -3/+8Am I missing something obvious? Why is it called "Col-Pop"?
  • inactive, on 02/06/2008, -1/+5How come this wasn't called "Two Snacks One Cup?"
  • stackered, on 02/06/2008, -2/+6Oh wow this saves.... wait no it doesn't save any space. Having a separate holder for food and a drink is equal in the amount of plastic used but you get more volume of drink compared to this. Therefore, this is actually technologically behind us. It is also on my list of most pointless creations ever. Plus a dumb name.
  • bobartig, on 02/06/2008, -0/+4Heat rises, colder denser air stays down, so the thermal separation is going to self-regulate long enough for you to finish a fast food meal.
  • skellener, on 02/06/2008, -0/+4You actually go to KFC??
  • xEviLxElviSx, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3You dont even eat McDonalds
  • nydwarf, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3Does this come with free medical insurance?
  • thetanman, on 02/06/2008, -5/+8FAIL.
  • leif77, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3Is america the only country in which people eat till theyre full? I happen to get a lot of physical activity during the day, and when i eat i turn into a hoover and can suck up quite a few burgers before im full. Then... i go and burn it all off again. If you eat a lot and exercise then it really doesnt have much of an impact.
  • anildash, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3He's just hopped up on chicken and caffeine.
  • joebaloney, on 02/06/2008, -2/+5I never want anything to do with 2 items and 1 cup again.
  • Whatwedo, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3digg this down.
  • jackal42, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3whatever next? a burger in a can?.......oh
  • RuckusNutz, on 02/06/2008, -1/+4RTFA *****!
  • joegibes, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2...here I was thinking everybody likes a good Cochicken every once in a while.
  • meredith, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2Come on, am I the ONLY one who thought of the McDLT?
  • ncdave101, on 02/06/2008, -1/+3Interesting. I can see it doing well at state fairs and similar gatherings.

    Now if they can only come out with Bachelor Chow....
  • rentmitchum, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2More like burger in a can't.
  • Berkana, on 02/06/2008, -1/+3Probably not for this reason: most fried fast food items don't get their flavor from aromatics; they get it from salt, fat, carbs, and MSG. If they were garlic herb fries, maybe.
  • D3koy, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2Didn't you hear? the top is for chicken, the bottom is for the drink...pay attention
  • kcmedic, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2That's the beauty of it. The burger IS the drink!
