It’s a small world, after all Kim Jong Nam, eldest son of North Korea’s ill Kim Jong Il, might have been first in line to succeed his father, were it not for a 2001 incident in which he was caught trying to enter Japan on a forged Dominican passport with a Chinese alias so he could go to Tokyo’s Disneyland. When he got home, he was blindfolded, driven through a DMZ minefield and told it was Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.
Secret-locking good: While it upgrades its headquarters, KFC has removed Col. Sanders’ secret Original Recipe from its vault and put it in a box handcuffed to a guard.

It sounds harsh, but this sandwich can then be traded for 10 gummy worms, a SpongeBob SquarePants sticker and a Hannah Montana pencil with only two bite marks.
