KFC’s marketing folks have some really strange ideas. Over the years, they’ve made chicken-scented fireplace logs, gravy-scented candles, and a Colonel Sanders bearskin rug. They’re either insane or creative geniuses, because they’ve got me talking about their brand yet again.

Today is Mother’s Day, and KFC wants to help you celebrate with mom in their usual weird way. KFC’s Chickendales digital Mother’s Day cards are here to help. These customizable video cards are for sending to your mom to let her know you love her.

As a child of the ’80s, I fondly remember Colonel Sanders – the real one, not this new actor every other commercial weirdness KFC is up to these days. All the real Sanders wanted you to do was come to eat some chicken made from his secret family recipe of 11 herbs and spices.

If you’re looking for a creepy gift for the KFC lover in your life this Valentine’s Day, this Colonel Sanders Bearskin rug will be a gift they never ever forget. It’s not real bearskin, so don’t worry PETA.

KFC UK apparently loves their gravy. They love it so much that they want your room will be filled with the smell of their signature gravy. Seems kind of weird to me without any mashed potatoes.

KFC knows how to celebrate the holiday season. This year when you sit down by the fire, put one of these fried chicken-scented logs on. I’m pretty sure you don’t want to eat one, but it sure smells good.

Remember when all that Colonel Sanders did was make chicken? Those were simpler days. These days KFC actually sells the occasional crazy product as well in addition to its fried birds. The latest crazy product is the KFO drone.

Do you need a special place to escape from the world? Maybe you just want to get away from the Internet for a while. That’s cool. Everyone needs a break now and then. Colonel Sanders feels your pain and has designed a very special bunker for you.

Wings? Who needs wings on a plane when you can have two greasy chicken buckets? YouTuber and supergeek Peter Sripol wanted to see if a plane could fly with KFC buckets for wings, so he set out to prove it.

I’m a picky eater, and I know this about myself. I have rules for food; I’m a food segregationist if you will. My foods don’t touch and I don’t mix salty and sweet. I also don’t eat stuff off the bone because it’s really gross to see all the cartilage, tendons, and bone.

Now your greasy fingers have something new to filth up. KFC knows that your phone needs a charge and they are willing to help with a device charger bjilt into your take-out box. Sadly, like many cool and unusual things, we in America are left out.

Things get weird in Asia sometimes. If you need any further proof of that fact, consider this new marketing campaign for KFC in Hong Kong. Now the idea of nail polish from a fried chicken restaurant is strange enough – and then you realize the polish is flavored like chicken. 

Every time I think that I have seen everything, someone proves me wrong. It is surprising how often that someone is KFC lately. KFC Canada is celebrating their 60th anniversary by releasing a special version of their chicken bucket. It is called “The Memories Bucket” and in addition to carrying fried chicken, it is also a photo printer.

KFC is slowly trying to replace all the snack foods we know and love with KFC-ified versions of those treats. We have seen the restaurant replace the bun with a pair of chicken breasts. More recently, a chicken breast became the bun for a hotdog with the Double Down Dog.

The KFC Tray Typer is a paper-thin Bluetooth keyboard made so that you don’t get chicken grease on your devices. It was created as a promotional item for new KFC locations in Germany. Apparently they were a big hit. The idea is that with a paper keyboard, you don’t get grease all over your stuff.

Littering is a problem all around the world and with the number of cups of coffee sold each day, I would imagine lots of litter is thrown out in the form of disposable coffee cups. KFC is testing a new coffee cup that won’t add to the litter on city streets or in landfills.
