Size Makes A Difference

Whether you believe it or not, size does matter. From billboards to product containers, the issue of size is a continuous battle for perfection, and at this moment, KFC is in the lead

Most recently KFC created a new food container aimed at the customer always on the go.  The ‘Go Cup’ is tailored to fit 83% of today’s car cup holders. This hits the mark for the 53% of car owners, 18-32yrs of age, who say they would eat in their cars more often if the food container fit in the cup holder, according to USA Today’s research.

No more juggling those chicken tenders, a drink and fries. The ‘Go Cup’ features dividers so your fries and chicken are both accessible from the same cup holder. Not only does the new product container make eating while driving safer, its meal options and price, $2.49, are also giving KFC a prime spot in the snack market.

The ‘Go Cup’ is a slam-dunk for KFC and a threat to other fast food restaurants. The team at KFC kept the needs and wants of their consumers in mind and created a product that capitalized on size to entice driving consumers.
