Ever wanted to raise a fried chicken drumstick as your beloved digital pet? No? Well, KFC Spain didn’t ask for your opinion before unleashing the Eduardochi onto the world. This Tamagotchi-inspired gadget lets you nurture a virtual fried drumstick. You’ll feed it, clean up after it (yes, it poops), and presumably wonder what life choices brought you here.

Originally available exclusively through KFC Spain’s website and app, Eduardochi has now waddled its greasy way into restaurants across Spain. Starting December 3, 2024, you can pick one up for a paltry €3.99 (about US$4.21). It’s weird, it’s oddly charming, and it’s the closest you’ll ever get to calling a fried drumstick “family.”
