LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- This
Valentine's Day, KFC wants you to show your loved ones how much you
care by giving them a fried chicken scratch 'n' sniff Valentine's
Day card featuring its iconic founder, Colonel Harland Sanders. Available in participating KFC
U.S. restaurants beginning Feb. 12,
KFC's set of four retro-inspired valentines romantically combine
tender love lines with the intoxicating scent of fried chicken.
When paired with a $10 Chicken Share,
perfect for two, KFC is America's one-stop shop for Valentine's
Day.
"Some years you have to search high and low for the perfect gift
for your Valentine," said Andrea
Zahumensky, KFC U.S. CMO. "This year, we decided to make
things easy. Skip the candy and go straight for the fried chicken!
Grab dinner and some scratch 'n' sniff Valentine's Day cards, and
share your love of fried chicken with your valentine."
KFC's valentines come in four different intoxicating designs,
each with a fried chicken scratch 'n' sniff patch, so your
valentine can indulge in the heavenly aroma of the Colonel's 11
herbs and spices. Each valentine features Colonel Sanders with some
of his favorite KFC menu items, accompanied by various sappy love
lines like:
- "You have the secret recipe to my heart."
- "I fell in love the first moment I slaw you."
- "We're two peas in a chicken pot pie."
- "I'd be with you all the time if only I could. You make me feel
so finger lickin' good."
For those who are more digitally inclined, KFC has partnered
with Tenor, the largest mobile GIF search engine, to create a
series of animated KFC valentines for sharing with friends &
family in popular messaging apps. Starting this week and running
through Valentine's Day, users of Tenor's GIF Keyboard mobile app
can find the animated KFC valentines by searching for both love-
and singlehood-related terms in the keyboard. In addition to
Tenor's GIF Keyboard app, Tenor's GIF search technology is
integrated into Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter, among many other
messaging platforms.
KFC's limited-edition valentines are free, while supplies
last with the purchase of a $10
Chicken Share, which includes the perfect amount of fried chicken,
Extra Crispy™ Chicken Tenders or Popcorn Nuggets for
two people. KFC chicken is freshly, hand prepared by cooks in KFC
restaurants every day to create the ultimate Valentine's Day
date.
