The crazy kids over a Serious Eats have uncovered a pretty genius fast food item imported from South Korea: a dual compartment soda/chicken cup, or Col-Pop. A plastic insert in the top of the cup holds chicken (or anything you want) while the bottom contains your ice cold beverage. Right now these babies are only available at BBQ Chicken locations in Chelsea and Flushing, but we're expecting this to hit the mainstream soon. Real soon: no question they're pork bun compatible. The naysayers at Gizmodo have weighed in about the ineffectiveness of the cup (condensation is an issue), but the Eater Department of Consumer Testing calls that a minor detail. Hit play for more details and some top notch Adam Kuban-age.
