This is not an April Fool’s joke! KFC is partnering up with Hismile to make your wildest dreams (or wildest cravings) come true. The brands are releasing a fried chicken-flavored toothpaste, which makes this a world-first collab that brings KFC’s iconic fried chicken as a toothpaste applied straight to your teeth.

Interesting KFC Products

Unique collaborations and odd products are no stranger in the fast food area. Different brands collaborate with fast food to create fashion or collectible merchandise. Over the years, we’ve seen different merchandise that we can’t help but say are weird. One brand that we can point out is probably KFC. Let’s check out the odd collaborations they had that we can remember.

Just last year, KFC collaborated with Hatch, a sleep wellness company that creates different ASMR audios. For Hatch’s KFC collaboration special, they created an ASMR frying of their chicken called “The Fried Chicken Rain.” In the audio, we hear the sounds of fried chicken getting fried, which people describe as sounding like a falling rain on the ground. Hatch employees worked closely with KFC’s food innovation team as they recorded the process of frying the new chicken tenders.

But that’s not just the unique collaboration that KFC has done. From cleaning teeth, the chicken chain can trace its weird collaboration history to perfume. Yup, there used to be a KFC perfume that’s supposed to smell like smoky wood and charcoal. It’s called the No. 11 Eau de BBQ  in a 100 ml bottle that’s only sold in the United Kingdom. The release of the perfume actually marks the launch of KFC UK’s Ultimate BBQ Burger back in May of last year.

From The Club

I would love to get my hands on the Hismile x KFC Toothpaste as someone who loves quirky stuff. Although I wonder if there’s still a thing as bad breath after using the Original Recipe Chicken paste! 😂 I’d also love the electric toothbrush that comes along with it so I can feel the KFC vibes powering up my mornings!
