No, you’re not hallucinating. The toothpaste product created by KFC contains authentic fried chicken flavor. The partnership between KFC and Hismile enabled the creation of an innovative dental product with vegetable and chicken flavor. The prank origin later turned into an actual product when the idea brought in widespread interest.
The product reached the market beyond its launching phase to attain immediate popularity. KFC toothpaste reached complete sold-out status in under 48 hours, which demonstrates that people actively seek out creative products of all kinds.
KFC Toothpaste: The Joke That Became a Mouthwatering Reality
Industrial marketing made the concept famous when company employees threw a viral prank product announcement online during an April Fool’s event. KFC Toothpaste received more than laughter because people showed significant excitement about this novelty product. Internet users swamped websites with requests to buy the product and queries about its authenticity.
Here comes the entry of Hismile. Known for shaking up oral care with offbeat products (like watermelon and mango toothpaste), the brand saw a golden opportunity. The company decided with KFC to create KFC toothpaste for market release. The idea? The 11 herbs and spices of KFC now exist in toothpaste form that consumers can use for their morning oral hygiene routine.
It sounds ridiculous, and yet… It worked.
What’s the Flavor of KFC Toothpaste? Think Crispy, Salty, and Strangely Fresh
After applying toothpaste to your brush, you encounter a strong odor that precisely mimics KFC’s Original Recipe Chicken.
Reviewers explain that KFC toothpaste delivers buttery tasting notes alongside spice, along with peppery nuances partnered with rich flavors. A buttery scent follows as garlic and black pepper kick in alongside various strong seasonings, which perfectly replicate the flavors of hot crunchy chicken.
Most people who participated in the taste test confirmed they experienced clean teeth through both the unusual blend of flavors. According to one user, the sensation is comparable to chewing fried chicken-flavored gum despite its strange concept. Weird, but kind of satisfying.”
The KFC toothpaste gives the same taste experience of fried chicken and breathes fresh air simultaneously. But it somehow doesn’t make your breath smell like lunch leftovers. Magic? Maybe. Science? Probably. Either way, it’s an experience.
