Here’s the Chicken-Flavored Nail Polish No One Asked for

KFC, a company with a history of offering questionable poultry products to the masses, has debuted an edible chicken-flavored nail polish—giving bold new meaning to chicken fingers and finger lickin’ bad. Sadly for you, the product is only available in Hong Kong.

The nail polish comes in two distinct flavors, Original and Hot n’ Spicy.

“The recipe for our edible nail polish is unique and was specifically designed to hold the flavor, but to also dry with a glossy coat similar to normal nail polish,” Joan Koay of Oglivy and Mather, the agency behind the campaign, told CNN.

The fast-food giant released the following video to help promote the product:

Intrigued? Just make sure you’ve dropped the bad habit of biting your nails before experimenting with KFC’s latest offering.

LET’S TALK ABOUT OPTIMISM FOR A CHANGE

Democracy and journalism are in crisis mode—and have been for a while. So how about doing something different?

Mother Jones did. We just merged with the Center for Investigative Reporting, bringing the radio show Reveal, the documentary film team CIR Studios, and Mother Jones together as one bigger, bolder investigative journalism nonprofit.

And this is the first time we’re asking you to support the new organization we’re building. In “Less Dreading, More Doing,” we lay it all out for you: why we merged, how we’re stronger together, why we’re optimistic about the work ahead, and why we need to raise the First $500,000 in online donations by June 22.

It won’t be easy. There are many exciting new things to share with you, but spoiler: Wiggle room in our budget is not among them. We can’t afford missing these goals. We need this to be a big one. Falling flat would be utterly devastating right now.

A First $500,000 donation of $500, $50, or $5 would mean the world to us—a signal that you believe in the power of independent investigative reporting like we do. And whether you can pitch in or not, we have a free Strengthen Journalism sticker for you so you can help us spread the word and make the most of this huge moment.
