Fried Chicken Pillows with Phone Pouch to Play ASMR Audio of Chicken Frying

Posted on by

Do you have a hard time falling asleep at night? Is it so bad and specific you need a fried chicken-shaped pillow with an integrated pouch for your phone so you can play audio of chicken frying just so you can fall asleep? Well, you’re in luck, because Japanese brand Fellisimo just released the Mocchiri Juicy Karaage (“Springy Juicy Fried Chicken”) pillow. I want one, but my wife is going to get pissed if I eat another pillow.

Available in three very slightly different styles (“small and easy to eat” [left]; “so good you’ll want to save it for the end of the meal” [middle]; and “the best ratio of meat and skin” [right]), the pillows cost 3,300 yen apiece, or around $32. Alternatively, you could get a 12-piece meal with 3 large sides and 6 biscuits from KFC for the same price and cuddle that to sleep. Who doesn’t like waking up greasy?

The pillows include a pouch to hold your smartphone, and you’re encouraged to play the ASMR YouTube video of chicken sizzling and frying provided by Fellisimo (have a listen for yourself below). I tried relaxing to it, but honestly, it just made me hungry. And do you know what happens when I get hungry right before going to sleep? I eat pillows. True story: my wife used the parental controls to block the Food Network in the bedroom.

KFC Teams up with Crocs to Make the Weirdest Shoes Ever

Posted on by

KFC’s marketing folks have some really strange ideas. Over the years, they’ve made chicken-scented fireplace logs, gravy-scented candles, and a Colonel Sanders bearskin rug. They’re either insane or just mad geniuses, because they’ve got me talking about their brand yet again.

Now, the home of fried chicken is collaborating with casual footwear maker Crocs to produce a pair of KFC-themed shoes.

The KFC Crocs are dressed up to look like the fast food chain’s iconic red-and-white-striped buckets and boxes, with their uppers printed with photorealistic fried chicken. To top it all off, they come with with a pair of charms which look like tiny drumsticks, and actually smell the part. I guess that’s one way to cover up foot odor – with fried chicken. If you don’t want your feet to smell like the Colonel’s original recipe, you can always remove the charms.

To top things off, the company released this totally bonkers promotional video, in which Korean fashion artist MLMA cooked up a pair of one-off chicken shoes with raised platform soles.

If you want a pair of KFC Crocs for some strange reason, you can sign up on the Crocs website to be notified when they’re available. They’re expected this Spring for about $60.

This KFC Firelog Smells Like Fried Chicken

Posted on by

KFC knows how to celebrate the holiday season. This year when you sit down by the fire, put one of these fried chicken-scented logs on. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to eat one, but it sure smells good. If you don’t have any fried chicken, burning these in your fireplace will make you want some for sure.

It is called the “KFC 11 Herbs and Spices firelog.” Light it up, smell KFC chicken. The logs will set you back $18.99 each, and are only available while supplies last. This would make a pretty funny Christmas gift, so get one while you can.

It is the latest in KFC’s often bizarre marketing strategy. “At KFC, we have always been proud of our role in bringing loved ones together at the dinner table around a bucket of our world-famous fried chicken,” Andrea Zahumensky, KFC US’ CMO, said. “Now, this winter we’re bringing all the things we love – family, friends and fried chicken – together around the fire with our scented firelog.

All I know is that Santa is going to be sad when he smells this, and there’s no chicken.

There’s An Official KFC Candle

Posted on by

The smell of lavender, patchouli, roses, or any other of the thousands of allegedly pleasant candle fragrances will never come close to the awesomeness that we imagine this KFC Scented Candle will emit. And yet, we’ll probably never know for sure because there apparently is only one. KFC New Zealand is giving this away to anyone who enters their giveaway by retweeting the post. Why? For promotional purposes of course, since here we are, talking about them

KFC’s Double Down Dog Needs To Make Its Way Stateside, Pronto

Posted on by

double-dog-header

Look, we know what you’re going to say. It’s gross! What was KFC thinking?! Oh my God, what an atrocity. And yet… and yet we want to feast on this ridiculous creation by everyone’s favourite fried chicken joint. It’s called the Double Down Dog and is the Colonel’s version of a hot dog, except the bread bun is actually fried chicken. If that doesn’t blow your mind, then we suppose you’re not into food quite like we are. That’s ok, we sympathize with more sensible hearts; not everyone likes to eat dangerously. And KFC apparently feels that way too because the Double Down Dog was only available in extremely limited quantities, for two days… in the Philippines! That’s right, this beautiful monster was only to be sold at a select number of outlets in the Philippines, and each restaurant was limited to selling 50 of these a day. Why? We don’t know. But we’d love to start a campaign to convince the executives that there’s a market for this stateside. Because there is. Right? Right?

Keep reading for a picture of it in the flesh.

KFC iPhone 5S Case is Finger Grippin’ HUGE

Posted on by

Earlier this month we found out about KFC Japan’s chicken-themed computer keyboard and mouse. The restaurant chain continues to celebrate Colonel Sanders’ 124th birthday with its latest silly giveaway. Behold!

And people think the iPhone 6 Plus is huge. I don’t even need a translation for whatever the Colonel is thinking. Check out KFC Japan’s website to see its other new promo item, an equally unwieldy fried chicken pillow.

KFC-Scented Candle Sure Sounds Better Than Most Regular Scented Candles

‘Morning breeze’, or ‘spring harvest’, or ‘honeydew explosion’ are just some of the creative names given to candle scents these days. They’re meant to convince you that your crappy little urban apartment is not actually a can of sardines squished between other sardine cans, but a wild and sprawling property in the wild. We reject the illusion and are rather more attracted to the above Kentucky Fried Chicken scented candle. Made by frying some chicken in soy wax and adding a few other “family secrets”, the candle allegedly smells pretty legit. They’re only making 25 of these, which they’re selling for $22 a piece.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Candle: Nostril Sniffin’ Good

Posted on by

If Kentucky Fried Chicken is finger licking good, what is a Kentucky Fried Chicken candle? Nostril sniffin’ good? These candles will really set the mood if you find KFCs to be romantic. Light one up, get your bucket of bones, meat and grease ready and dig in for a special night. Smell that aroma.

Imagine your whole house smelling like 11 herbs and spices. These candles are made by frying chicken in an all-natural soy wax, so that smell is the real deal. You’ll soon find these candles at Kentucky for Kentucky, but they are a limited edition so you’ll need to move quick – which might be a problem if you’re eating too much fried chicken.

If the Colonel were still alive he would have one in every room.
