Obama-Fingers Fried Chicken Tenders

Obamamania is a boon for businesses trying to cash in on the new President's popularity - and while we opt to skip most of 'em on Neatorama, I find this one fascinatingly irresistible to post: German frozen food company is marketing fried chicken tenders (with a tasty curry sauce) called "Obama Fingers."

Not wanting to miss the boat, a German food company has now gotten into the act. Sprehe, a company that has all manner of frozen delicacies on offer, has come up with a new product it calls "Obama Fingers." Far from being real digits, though, the "fingers" in question are "tender, juicy pieces of chicken breast, coated and fried," as the product packaging claims.

Fried chicken, in other words. With a curry dip.

"We noticed that American products and the American way of eating are trendy at the moment," Judith Witting, sales manager for Sprehe, told SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Americans are more relaxed. Not like us stiff Germans, like (Chancellor Angela) Merkel."

Fried chicky fingers with curry dip? never.

And in case I am not here to see the first response about what a racist product this is - I would like to insert a rolling eyes to that response here.

This is strange to me. I understand there is a cult of personality surrounding our president. I even get that American foods are trendy in Germany. The combination of those ideas is just weird.
