KFC New Zealand offers chance to win fried chicken-scented candle

Dec. 10: The New Zealand wing of KFC is offering fried chicken lovers the chance to win a strange piece of merchandise: a scented candle.

The fast food eatery posted to Facebook showing a supposedly fried chicken-scented candle bearing the image of the chain’s Colonel Sanders logo.

“To go in the draw to win one just suggest another piece of KFC merchandise you’d like to see from us in the comments below!” the post said.

The eatery said the winners will be announced Monday. The post did not say how many of the candles would be made available.

KFC’s previous forays into unusual merchandise include chicken-scented sunscreen, nail polish designed to taste like fried chicken, and a cellphone charging station built into a box. Upi.com
