The newest Colonel Sanders is one cool cat

The newest Colonel Sanders is the cheesiest choice yet.

Chester Cheetah, the smooth-talking mascot for Cheetos, is the new Colonel Sanders. The newest incarnation of the Colonel comes just in time for the release of the new line of KFC Cheetos combinations.

In a new commercial which was uploaded to YouTube, the cartoon cat skateboards onto the scene to “rescue” some kids from their boring sandwiches. He offers them the new KFC Cheetos Sandwich, much to their delight. The commercial seems to be very tongue-in-cheek, as the actors repeat the phrase “co-branded” several times, and Chester Cheetah/Colonel Sanders describes the sandwich as “two logos in every bite.”

After debuting in test markets in North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia earlier this year, KFC has confirmed that its Cheetos Sandwich — containing a fried chicken patty, mayo, a "special Cheetos sauce” and a handful of crunchy Cheetos on a toasted bun — will be available nationwide starting July 1.

However, the item — which is indeed real, and not something you imagined during a Cheetos-fueled fever dream— will only be available for “four short weeks,” KFC says.
