In one of the rarer promotional feats in recent memory, the fast food outlet KFC plans to send its new Zinger chicken burger ‘straight up into space’ with the help of a high-altitude balloon. KFC is partnering with World View, a company that makes stratollites, or high-altitude balloons, on the project.
The Zinger chicken burger is scheduled to take flight on or after June 21. The launch will be broadcast live online.
“The Zinger will travel to the stratosphere where it will stay between 60,000 and 80,000 feet above the Earth's surface for four whole days”, KFC said in
