People actually want to smell like KFC's fried chicken
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}KFC’s signature fried chicken has kept millions of diners clucking for more for over 80 years.
But would you want to smell like you’ve been cooking with the Colonel all day?
The fried chicken chain just released a limited edition sunscreen to keep you from getting “extra crispy”—and it’s supposed to smell just like those world famous 11 herbs and spices…and chicken and oil.

"Smells kindof beefy, well not beefy, but meaty," said one young tester who slathered it on her arm.
"No, I don't smell the chicken," said one tester, who admitted she was disappointed.

Most of our Chew on This testers could tell they weren’t sniffing a bucket of chicken. But the SPF 30 cream does have a distinctly poultry-like aroma. It smells a bit like bouillon with some baby oil mixed in.
But that didn’t keep people from slathering it all over themselves.
