At the start of the week, KFC rolled out a limited-edition Supergirl-themed lineup. The assortment features three fresh dipping sauces along with a Starry-flavored blend integrated into select combo meals. KFC graciously provided the Ultimate Tender Meal to speed this write-up along—faster than a rocket-powered sprint. Here’s a look at which additions soar above the rest and which stumble into kryptonite territory.
- Solar Honey Mustard Inspired by Supergirl
A brand-new dipping sauce lands.
-
Cons: I’m not sure the honey mustard crowd wants heat. There are plenty of mustards that deliver spice; leave my sweet lil’ honey mustard alone.
- Untamed Ranch by Lobo Review
A new dipping sauce lands.
-
Pros: Jason Momoa’s portrayal of Lobo is undeniably untamed, and this “kitchen sink” ranch captures that rebellious energy perfectly. According to the press release, this enhanced ranch blends garlic, onion, herbs, sesame, and poppy seed particulates. I won’t pretend I can name every spice or seed in this diverse sauce, but the savory finish wins me over. I’d go so far as to say KFC could swap in this version for their classic ranch once guests become acclimated to it.
Cons: From a comic nerd’s standpoint, it’s notable that the only sauce tied to one of the film’s antagonists is also the lone non-spicy option on the table.
- Sweet Chili Vendetta by Ruthye Review
A fresh dipping sauce makes its entrance.
-
Pros: The film’s non-canine sidekick endures trauma and pain, which fuels her drive for vengeance. That tragic backstory translates into a delicious sweet chili sauce. While honey mustard and ranch have long held their ground on the menu, this sweet chili option marks a bold new direction.
Cons: I wish the promotion had leaned more fully into this single sauce with broader menu integration. A chicken sandwich tossed in this sauce sounds fantastic, but the lineup seems spread thin across all three sauces.
- Kryptonian Kooler Review
-
Pros: Starry flows brilliantly into a blue-raspberry profile. It easily outshines the retired Starry Cranberry flavor; I’d love to see this hit retail someday. The addition of strawberry popping boba brings bright bursts of flavor with every sip, and the bubbles are plentiful in this modest cup.
Cons: My order arrived without a boba straw, which is essential for slurping the pearls. Fortunately, I had spare tools on hand (including a specially shaped straw from a previous McDonald’s release for their Shamrock Shake), so I improvised. Still, this serves as a reminder: if the delivery driver misses the straw, the boba experience could be compromised.
