KFC just unveiled an absurd new product

https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/kfc-just-unveiled-absurd-product-130100965.html

KFC is launching an unexpected new product: fried-chicken scented sunscreen.

Starting Monday, the chicken chain is giving away 3,000 free bottles of Col. Sanders’ Extra Crispy Sunscreen. US residents can receive the SPF 30 by visiting ExtraCrispySunscreen.com.

“Suntan lotion always smells like lotion,” KFC CMO Kevin Hochman told Business Insider. “So we thought — why not make it smell like fried chicken?”...

The sunscreen follows the June launch of an ad campaign starring George Hamilton as the “Extra Crispy Colonel,” promoting the chain’s Extra Crispy Chicken. According to Hochman, response to the Extra Crispy Colonel’s ads “blew away (KFC’s) expectations,” prompting the company to look into new ways to extend the summer campaign. Then, someone suggested KFC sunscreen.
