Extra Crispy sunscreen made available free online while supplies lasted.

August 23, 2016

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Because the only skin that should be extra crispy this summer is fried chicken, Kentucky Fried Chicken produced an exclusive, limited run of Extra Crispy fried chicken-scented sunscreen.

Supplies are gone, but for those who wanted to make the most of the final days of summer at the pool or beach, 3,000 bottles of SPF 30 Extra Crispy Sunscreen were available online August 22 for free at ExtraCrispySunscreen.com.

"Our Extra Crispy Sunscreen is a fun way to leverage that delicious [fried chicken] aroma and let our fans live the Extra Crispy lifestyle for themselves," said Kevin Hochman, chief marketing officer for KFC U.S.

"While I'd love to tell you our customers have been asking for this, they haven't," Hochman added. "In fact, I'm pretty confident nobody ever asked for this. It's just some crazy idea we dreamed up."

Folks who want to smell like fried chicken have already depleted the 3,000 bottle supply, and Fortune notes that at this time, KFC has no plans to make the product available for purchase.
