Kentucky Fried Chicken (2019)

Like some out-of-control episode of Community, life is folding in on itself with meta-jokes. Only in a post-apocalyptic vision of unending late capitalism like that of Blade Runner or Judge Dredd would entertainment and advertising merge so seamlessly. Yet, that's what is happening (not for the first time), and the merger here is fast food and one of those fictional dark visions of the future. It's wrinkling brains.

The new Colonel Sanders at KFC is RoboCop. (It's the original and not the sleek version from the 2014 reboot with Joel Kinnaman.) The fried chicken purveyor announced the robo-news February 21, saying, "He once protected the streets of Detroit. Now he’s protecting KFC’s Secret Recipe. Meet Colonel RoboCop."

String bow ties meet justice in new commercials featuring the 80s sci-fi icon. The chicken chain is putting a little narrative into the tie-in, saying RoboCop is protecting the Colonel's secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, even making reference to RoboCop's prime directive. Starting February 24, Chew Boom reports, RoboCop will appear in a series of new commercials. So, this isn't going to be a one-time thing.

The promo is taking place because the chain is apparently moving their secret recipe to Bahnhof's Pionen data center in Sweden. It's one of the most secure underground bunkers in the world, crafted to withstand a nuclear attack.

At this point, you should have accepted that nothing from your childhood is sacred. RoboCop could be the star of the inevitable Harry Potter reboot. But take heart from this, because it turns out some things are still sacred. Like the KFC recipe.

District 9 director Neill Blomkamp is currently developing a new RoboCop movie, and last summer, he made headlines when he said that actor Peter Weller, who played the character in the original movie and its first sequel, should step back into the suit once again.

Now Weller is back as RoboCop – not in the new movie (yet), but in a series of bizarre commercials for KFC. If you’ve always wanted to see RoboCop interrupt a random family’s movie night and threaten their lives if they don’t try his chicken, today’s your lucky day.

KFC is known for its odd campaign of replacing the TV “Colonel Sanders” spokesperson every so often, but they’ve taken things to new levels of weird by hiring the fictional character of RoboCop. They’ve even outfitted him with the Colonel’s goofy facial hair.

KFC is storing a copy of its secret recipe in a former Cold War nuclear bunker in Sweden

Well, the day has finally come. A robot took Colonel Sanders’ job. In the past, the character has been played by famous faces including Rob Lowe, Ray Liotta and Reba McEntire, but now the role is being filled by one buff and brawny “RoboCop,” which the company says was commissioned to transport an encrypted copy of KFC’s top-secret fried chicken recipe to one of the most secure vaults on the planet — a maximum-security former nuclear bunker called Pionen in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Best Fried Chicken in Every State

“For decades, fried chicken fans have tried and failed to recreate the distinctive, sought-after taste of the Colonel’s secret recipe,” KFC U.S. chief marketing officer Andrea Zahumensky said in a release. “So more than 30 years after his debut, we recommissioned RoboCop with a new directive — to act as protector and preserve a copy of our secret recipe by transporting it to a nuclear-proof location. Now, if you happen to survive the apocalypse, you can still enjoy Kentucky Fried Chicken. Makes perfect sense, right?”

The ingredients in KFC’s world-famous fried chicken are among the world’s best-kept food secrets. After the real Colonel Sanders invented the recipe, he signed a copy and locked it inside a vault at KFC’s headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky. The blend of 11 herbs and spices is still in use today, but its components remain a mystery because the ingredients are supplied by two separate manufacturers, and then blended by a third supplier. KFC’s head chef and company president claim they don’t even know the recipe.

Until now, there had only been that one hard copy, but according to KFC, a triple-encrypted digital copy was made and sent to Pionen, a data center located in a Cold War-era nuclear bunker buried 100 feet underground and strong enough to survive the blast of a hydrogen bomb, according to a statement from Jon Karlung, CEO of the data company Bahnhof, which now runs the facility. Should anything ever happen to the precious original fried chicken recipe, a second copy will be super-safeguarded in the White Mountains of Stockholm, one of the cleanest cities in the world. Looks like we’ll never get the scoop on Sanders’ secret herbs and spices, but we can spill these 10 crazy secrets your favorite fast food chains don’t want you to know.

From The Bunker-42 Entertainment Facility to The Null Stern Hotel Here are 17 amazing repurposed structures. Would you visit them? Subscribe for new videos Monday Wednesday and Friday! 10. The Bunker-42 Entertainment Facility This bunker was constructed during the time of the Cold War in Russia and was finished back in 1956. The bunker is situated at exactly 213 feet or 64 meters underground. It was only used for about 30 years and once the Cold War was over, the bunker was turned into a multitude of things back in 2006. It’s now a museum that includes restaurants, a karaoke bar, and even a wedding venue. 9. The Null Stern Hotel Also referred to as the “no star hotel”, their unofficial motto is that “the only star is you.” This hotel was actually once a nuclear fallout shelter that was then transformed by twin brothers Patrik and Frank Riklin and a hospitality expert named Daniel Charbonnier. The hotel was finally opened in 2009 and surprisingly turned out to be quite successful with the public. Huh, who knew? 8. The Bunker Wohnen Apartments These apartments can be found in Bremen, Germany where they were once used for people to seek shelter in during World War 2 when the allied forces would raid them with bombs. Many of the citizens began to see these bunkers as eyesores and reminders of unpleasant times. Eventually, architects were granted permission to repurpose them. In 2009, it was reported that there was still well over 2,000 bunkers in Germany. 7. The Shelter This shelter and many like it were created by China back when they had major tension with the Soviet Union so China being as paranoid as they were, of course, decided to create as series of air-raid shelters just in the off chance that something was to occur. Some of them are still kept as a secret but most of them have been repurposed into something else like wine cellars and clothing stores. This one pictured was transformed into a grungy nightclub in Shanghai. 6. The Greenbrier This emergency shelter was created in West Virginia during the Cold War and the whole construction of the project was dubbed “Project Greek Island.” The project was finally completed back in 1962 and was built with enough space to house Congress, that's 1,100 people in total. The bunker was eventually decommissioned and the site is now used as a destination for the visiting tourists. 5. The Silo Home Found in Saranac, New York, this luxury residence was constructed inside of the Adirondack State Park where at first glance it looks nothing more than just a regular old home. However, within the house lies a bunker that is secure enough to protect you from a zombie apocalypse to a nuclear blast. The property was bought back in 1991 and had been completely refurbished after spending 30 years being submerged in water. 4. The Bunker Hamburger Joint It’s believed that there are approximately 750,000 bunkers in Albania that are just completely abandoned and not in use. These bunkers were created back when the communist leader Enver Hoxha ruled from 1944 to 1985. Two graduate students from Albania named Elian Stefa and Gyler Mydyti saw the potential to repurpose them, like this one in the following image that is now a hamburger joint. 3. The Bahnhof Data Center Located in the White Mountains of Stockholm, Sweden, this office was constructed back in 2008 as the headquarters for the Swedish Company Bahnhof that is an internet provider. The office was actually once a defense center that went by the name of Pionen back in the 1970’s. The place was designed to withstand the blast of a hydrogen bomb should one fall nearby and is found under 100 feet of granite rock. Looks more like a supervillain lair than an internet office but that’s probably what they want you to think. 2. The Tea House This house was constructed on top of two old bunkers from 1936 in Vreeswijk, Netherlands. The house was built by the UN studio and they left most of the bunkers intact but they added the new part and lightly connected it in order to keep the historical structure in case it is one day removed. The house actually sits on the New Dutch Water Line. Just google that. Before we reveal number one, let us know in the comments below which one of these converted bunkers you thought was the coolest and don’t forget to subscribe! And now... 1. The Missile Bunker “Mansion” What was once a nuclear missile base during the Cold War has now been converted into a luxurious “mansion” of sorts. The bunker first made its debut back in 1961 in Topeka, Kansas and housed a four-megaton thermonuclear warhead. It would be four years later that the entire place would be decommissioned and another 18 years later that the site would be purchased by a school teacher named Ed Peden. Ed and his wife have now made the bunker their new home.

The 11 Most Highly Secured Places in the World That You Can’t Enter

There are many places on our planet that are really hard or even impossible to get to. As a rule, these places are the most intriguing.

Bright Side collected 11 secret places around the world that are impossible to enter.

11. Secret Mormon Base, Utah, USA

Deep under Granite Rock, there is a depository built by the Mormons. By hearsay, they store their precious relics there. Only the highest members of their church can enter this place that is resistant even to a nuclear explosion.

10. Global Seed Vault, Svalbard, Norway

Svalbard Global Seed Vault opened in 2008 on the island of Spitzbergen. 250 million seed samples are stored there. It was created so that people can restore any plant. The island is a perfect place for storing seeds because there is practically no seismic activity and it is high above sea level.

9. Niihau Island, Hawaii, USA

Hawaii is a beach paradise. However, this little island is impossible to enter. It was sold to a plant-owner family in 1863 and closed in 1915. It is still a guarded place.

8. HavenCo, Sealand

The data center was opened in 2000 in Sealand. Its owner, HavenCo, thought this was how they could get around a British law. It closed in 2008 but was opened again in 2013.

7. "Pionen" Bunker, Stockholm, Sweden

The data centers of Bahnhof are situated in a cave 100 feet underground. This bunker was built in 1943 as a fallout shelter. There are live plants, artificial waterfalls, and a huge aquarium inside. This is how the company creates a nice atmosphere for its employees.

6. ADX Florence Prison, Colorado, USA

The nickname of this prison is "Alcatraz of the Rockies." The cells there are made of stone, and even the bunk beds and sinks are made of concrete. There are laser traps everywhere inside, and the doors are controlled remotely. All the security officers of this prison can shoot to kill if they suspect an escape.

5. RAF Menwith Hill Base, Yorkshire, Great Britain

This place was built in 1954 for catching signals during the Cold War. It is unknown what is going on there now, but this is the biggest storage of intelligence data in the world.

4. "Greenbrier" Resort, Virginia, USA

It seems impossible to see a resort in such a list. In fact, this place is the most secure resortin the world, accessible only to US government agents. There is also a fallout shelter here.

3. Vatican Secret Archives

This is considered to be the most secret library in the world. All the documents of the Popes have been stored here since the VII century. Only a research officer can enter the archives with special permission, which is extremely difficult to obtain.

2. Bold Lane Car Park, Derbyshire, Great Britain

This car park is one of the safest places in the world. Drivers get special barcode-tickets that are synchronized with their parking space. Under each car is a movement sensor that runs the alarm in case someone moves the car without permission. There are 190 surveillance cameras in the facility.

1. Area 51, Nevada, USA

Area 51 is a special facility for experimental flight vehicle construction. It is impossible to approach the base from the ground or air. It means that no flight can be performed above this territory. The existence of this place was revealed reluctantly, which gave birth to many conspiracy theories.
