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

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

December is make or break for us. A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. A strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength. A weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

The December 31 deadline is closing in fast. To reach our $400,000 goal, we need readers who’ve never given before to join the ranks of MoJo donors. And we need our steadfast supporters to give again today—any amount.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do.

That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
