Food-inspired beauty products are nothing new—think coconut body balms, caramel scrubs, or even lemon pie shower gels. Savvy shoppers familiar with supermarket beauty aisles know these treats well. But lately, sweet scents are giving way to bold, savory junk food classics. KFC, the fast-food pioneer, is leading the charge: after releasing a fried chicken-scented candle in late 2016, they've now infused the same crave-worthy aroma into bath bombs. Yes, you read that right.
KFC partnered with Japan's Village Vanguard—a brand known for quirky soup-flavored bath products—to craft these drumstick-shaped bath bombs. They capture the essence of fried chicken blended with KFC's signature 11 herbs and spices for an authentic post-bath fry-shop vibe. Access is exclusive: only 100 randomly selected "lucky" winners in Japan, drawn between November 1 and 15, will receive them. For alternatives, pizza-scented bath bombs exist for those craving a greasy glow-up. We'll stick with our trusty orange peel shower gel, thank you.
