[Krystal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimento-cheese-chik), the fast food company known for its square hamburgers and buns, has recently donated Krystal puppets to the [Center for Puppetry Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-capture-technology) in Atlanta, Georgia.

The puppets were initially created for Krystal's 2016 'Shun the Ho-Hum' campaign, which featured silly puppet versions of the classic Krystal, the Krystal Chik, and Krystal fries. They were designed by the [Jim Henson Creature shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-mills-x-jim-henson-company), and they will join hundreds of other puppets at the Center.

Atlanta's Center for Puppetry Arts is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to the art of puppetry. It hosts performances, curriculum-based workshops, and interactive installations in the onsite museum called 'Worlds of Puppetry', and it is also home to the world's largest collection of Jim Henson puppets and props.
