When it comes to fast food, give me a bucket of KFC over a Big Mac any day because nothing beats the taste of Colonel Sanders’ original recipe chicken and that’s a hill I’m prepare to consider dying on.
Turns out that KFC thinks there are many more crazed fried chicken lovers like me out there in Australia, and that most of these KFC fanatics also happen to be surfers (of which I am not).
The reason I’m bringing up this weird crossover of KFC-loving surfers is because the fried chicken fast food giant has just released a new line of KFC-branded merch and one of the products happens to be some KFC-flavoured surf wax.
Not only will the new KFC-flavoured surf wax keep your boards nice and shiny (or whatever surf wax does), but you’ll now smell like original recipe chicken whenever you hit the waves.
Seriously, I smelled the wax and it is almost like the real thing.
This also counts as an added bonus for all the sharks out there because they now have the choice between classic or hot n’ spicy surfers.
It’s finger licking good.
In addition to the chicken-flavoured surf wax, the new line of KFC merch includes some Aussie classics such as pins, trackies, socks, T-shirts, “finger-licking” necklaces, a surfboard, and the most beautiful thing of them all, budgie smugglers.
Before you start cracking on about how KFC is selling out or something, all the proceeds from this line of Aussie-exclusive merch will be going to the recently-established KFC Youth Foundation, which aims to support Australian youths with mentoring skills development, mental wellbeing, and overcoming any disadvantage that comes at them.
You know what, if rocking a pair of budgie smugglers while surfing some waves on a board that smells of chicken will help an Aussie kid get a headstart in life, then come at me, sharks.
