So KFC made a sunscreen or something?

The fried chicken chain announced today that they'd created an apparently real, limited-edition SPF 30 sunscreen that blocks harmful UV rays while allowing you to smell like 11 herbs and spices, chicken fat and old grease.


There were 3,000 bottles of this chicken-adjacent sludge up for grabs on the company's website earlier today, but they're all gone now. Sorry. You can console yourselves with the fact that delivery is going to take eight weeks and we won't have sun in Seattle by that point anyway. Bonus: you won't have to needlessly smell like fast food.

Incidentally, this isn't KFC's first foray into beauty products. The company unleashed two shades of flavored nail polish (grrrrrrross) on the unsuspecting populace of Hong Kong earlier this year.

Whatever, evil marketing geniuses. 7-11 has a Slurpee Chapstick, Burger King has a cologne. It's been done.

I mean, just look at this list of fast food beauty products coming to a Bartell's or a Walgreen's near you. How to choose?
