Don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day this year? Well, don’t worry. KFC has decided to release a chicken sandwich big enough to snuggle with. Yes, you read that right!
The KFC Chicken Sandwich Snuggler
KFC has the perfect Valentine’s Day present for everyone, whether they have a significant other or not. The Kentucky-based company has partnered with famed toy company Pillow Pets to create a massive, plush chicken sandwich that is big enough to snuggle with! We cannot think of a better way to celebrate one’s love of chicken – or singledom – than this.
This chicken sandwich – adorably named the KFC Chicken Sandwich Snuggler – “features a realistic-looking double-breaded, Extra Crispy chicken breast filet, buttery brioche bun, thick pickles, and the perfect amount of the Colonel’s real mayo,” according to Pillow Pets’ website. We’ve got to be honest: this thing looks remarkably real!
Want your own KFC Chicken Sandwich Snuggler? Well, you can pre-order one on the Pillow Pets website for $99, and they will ship on March 15. So, unfortunately, that means you won’t be able to snuggle with it on Valentine’s Day, but you can still have it for the rest of your life!
“We set a new standard for modern comfort food with the introduction of our KFC Chicken Sandwich last year,” Nick Chavez, the chief marketing officer for KFC, wrote in a recent press release. “Now fans can snuggle up with the sandwich they love the most thanks to our KFC Chicken Sandwich Snuggler!”
Snuggle And Dream About KFC
There’s an undeniable reason that KFC loves its chicken sandwich enough to make plushies of it – it’s been a massive hit for the brand! “We nearly doubled our sales expectations [in the test locations], so we knew that we had a winner,” a company spokesperson said last year. “Many customers hadn’t considered KFC as a part of the chicken sandwich conversation, but anyone who tastes this sandwich will know, without a doubt, that we’re playing to win.”
Of course, that’s not all that KFC has released recently. The company recently released its first-ever plant-based menu item, the Beyond Fried Chicken, which comes in a six-piece, 12-piece, or combo meal with a side of fries and a medium drink. If you’re a vegetarian and you miss real fried chicken, the KFC Chicken Sandwich Snuggler might be perfect for you. But don’t even think about sharing it!
“The one pillow you won’t have to fight for because there’s enough of this plushie to go around,” Pillow Pets writes on its website. “You and your friends can sink into this nearly three-foot round pillow as you sink your teeth into a KFC Chicken Sandwich meal.”
