KFC is known for fried chicken, and also for some really weird promotional stunts like chicken-themed prom corsages, nail polish, a Lifetime movie, and a dating simulator. And their food stunts are just as strange, like that time they offered a breadless sandwich made of cheese and bacon between two chicken breasts. They aren't stopping anytime soon. The latest publicity stunt from KFC is jelly beans.
In a partnership with Frankford Candy, KFC will be offering jelly beans in the flavors of fried chicken, sweet corn, and gravy. Will they really taste like gravy, or will they be sugar-based with a hint of gravy? I'm sure you can't wait to try them. Alas, KFC jelly beans will not be available until 2026, when they will drop in plenty of time before Easter. So why announce it now? Because when you hear about it, you may laugh and then think about chicken for dinner tonight. -via Mental Floss
