Secret Recipe Crocs Are Hot Ticket ... Finger Lickin' Gone!!!
TMZ ^ | 7/28/2020 | staff reporter

The more bizarre, the better, apparently -- a fashion collab between KFC and Crocs is a rousing success ... KFC says its fried chicken-scented shoes are already sold out!!!

Someone had the bright idea to pair the famous foam clog company with the fried chicken icon to make limited-edition kicks -- and they flew off (virtual) shelves Tuesday, selling out in less than 90 minutes.

The bucket clogs went for $60 a pair, with $3 from each sale going toward the KFC Foundation's employee scholarship fund. The Crocs look like a bucket of the Colonel's original and -- most shockingly -- have a chicken-scented Jibbitz charm shaped like a drumstick.

I bet that, if they did the same with dog poop, that they’d sell out in 5 minutes.

There is a definite synergy - the 200+ pound female demographic tends to be a major consumer of both products. :)

My dog will love those things to death if he ever gets to visit the neighbor that happens to own a pair.

We had a brand new puppy that ate the tongues out a pair of my bicycle shoes years ago.

It turns out that the tongues were not essential.
I still wear them and they work just fine, maybe a bit less weight.

{{{SIGH}}}

I can't tell you how many Double L hunting boots, met similar fate, w/ the Labs we have had, over the years.

...And they didn't smell like KFC chicken....only stinky feet. ;)

I hear ya! :)

But for our knuckleheads, if it smells rotten...it's *better*, right?

....and let's roll in it too, while we're at it.
