The pair will appear in court for charges of breaching New Zealand’s Health Order

Makes sense. That much KFC is enough to toxify a herd of horses, let alone a gaggle of humans.

The Fat & Cholesterol police are harsh down in Kiwi Land.

Hey, they still use the old-timey branding (or some sort of riff on it) in New Zealand?

Also, now I kind of feel like I want fried chicken for lunch, followed by an afternoon of regret.

they were also carrying more than NZ$100,000 (US$70,000) in cash—the change from their order, I’d guess—and “empty ounce bags” which I can only assume were to be used to portion out the drumsticks to their friends back home.

The dudes were described elsewhere as ‘gang associates’. One possible scenario is that they decided to ingratiate themselves to the higher echelons of the gang by driving up from Hamilton up with the proceeds of criming, the empty ounce bags not sold during criming, and the KFC.
