KFC Has Just Released a GPS Cassette. It’s as Dumb as It Sounds, But It’s Still Kinda Fun.

In case you’ve ever wanted driving directions from KFC HQ in Louisville, Kentucky, to its Big Chicken store (the one with the 56-foot tall animatronic chicken) in Marietta, Georgia, don’t pull out your smartphone. Just jam this cassette into the dashboard and enjoy the Colonel’s turn-by-turn instructions.

Wait. You don’t have a cassette player in your car? Well, then just call up this video on your phone. Same difference, really.

Thanks to Dave who found this bit of marketing gold at AdWeek.
