Finger-lickin' good?
KFC in Hong Kong is marketing edible nail polish that tastes like — wait for it — chicken.
"Yes, it is actually a real thing," the agency running the campaign tells The New York Times.
Kfc Hk YouTube KFC designed the polish "to appeal to young consumers' love of food and fashion," according to a press release sent to the fashion site Racked.
"Simply apply and dry like regular nail polish and then lick — again and again and again to taste why the world's favourite chicken is Finger Lickin' Good," the company says.
The product comes in three flavors — original, hot and spicy — based on KFC's chicken recipe. It's not exactly clear what the nail polish is made of, but KFC says it is "formulated from natural ingredients." The fast-food chain is asking customers in Hong Kong to pick which flavor should go into mass production, AdWeek reports.
We should note that KFC isn't the first to pitch edible nail polish. Kid Licks, for example, has created three polishes made with fruits and vegetables that are supposed to be safe for kid consumption, POPSUGAR says. Those come in "sour carrot orange," "beet red" and "barley grass green."
If you could try edible nail polish, what flavor would you want? Let us know in the comments.*
*Things to consider: increased nail-biting, eating real food that conflicts with your nail flavor, the general awkwardness of tasting nail polish.
I’m pretty sure the blend of 7 or 11 secret herbs and spices were revealed to be salt and pepper.
Melamine. It's totally melamine.
The fish flavored didn’t go over as well.
Original, or crispy?
Make the flavor programmable so that you can control it with you smartphone. You’ll get people eating out of your hands. Bluetooth always makes it better.
Great way to spread the next super flu.
GOD knows, It is a good thing Colonel Harlan Sanders is long dead and buried. After the recipe change, the silly looking actor trying to look and sound like the Colonel and now, Chicken flavored nail polish, he would be turning over in his grave.
“See a need, fill a need.”
Maybe it’s the oil they’re cooking it in but the last time we went to KFC it was to get my son got a bucket of chicken because he wanted to try it.
He wound up throwing up that night. This is a kid that wins hot wings eating contests and doesn’t puke.
He won’t eat there anymore. I haven’t in 35 years.
I like how they even had Steinbrenner left-handed vs. right-handed. Lotsa good detail.
Have we ever seen both of them in the same place!!?? lol
Sounds like a good thing for girls who bite their nails.
Uh, ok, but why?
Walter White needed a lot of that to cook Meth in "Breaking Bad".
Melamine.....DO NOT speak ill of Trump’s wife. I love her.
hmm, does it taste like cat BAHAHAHAHA

KFC offered a “Hillary” meal consisting of two small breast and two large thighs? Well now KFC is offering the “Obama Cabinet Bucket,” it consists of nothing but left wings and chicken shit! My have times changed
