KFC hopes to develop the first lab-made chicken nuggets
KFC Teams up with Crocs to Make the Weirdest Shoes Ever
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.

KFC Celebrates Mother’s Day with the Chickendales
Today is Mother’s Day, and KFC wants to help you celebrate with mom in their usual weird way. KFC’s Chickendales digital Mother’s Day cards are here to help. These customizable video cards are for sending to your mom to let her know you love her. And also to remind her that KFC chicken is delicious.
Mom is sure to get excited with these cards because the Colonel is looking more fit and buff than ever. Plus there are guys in their underwear shaking their moneymakers. If that isn’t sexy enough, they then dress up as KFC food itself, like a bucket of chicken, biscuits and more. The colonel is crazy, but he sure loves your mom.
Does it make you want to buy chicken? If so, then mission accomplished KFC. Does it make you want to slip dollar bills in the Colonel’s G-string? (Ew. And now I have that image in my head. I can’t unsee it.) Well, that’s just weird and it’s something that I thought I would never type in my life. Frankly, it makes me feel weird that I have typed it. I can never go back now. Damn you Colonel for being so damn strange in your promotions. This isn’t how you sell chicken. Or is it?
