KFC Germany Bakes Bluetooth Keyboard into Meal Trays

El Reg reports [theregister.co.uk]

KFC Germany has salted its meal trays with a thin, flexible Bluetooth keyboard.

The "KFC Type Tray" has been used as a giveaway in new KFC stores. Punters can take 'em home and use the thin, rechargeable keyboards for whatever they fancy.

The chicken chain's cunning plan, however, is that folks who wander into their neighbourhood's new source of salt, grease, protein, and eleven herbs and spices will be so chuffed by the keyboard that they'll go nuts on social media.

The [embedded video] suggests that plan worked and that KFConnoisseurs like the keyboard because they balk at smearing grease on their smartmobes but don't mind sullying a tray.

[...]Don't bother dropping into a KFC in the hope of obtaining your very own Type Tray: they've all found good homes.

I think you mispleled "KFC common sewers".
