KFC has officially taken finger-lickin’ good to new heights literally. The fast-food giant has introduced its private jet service called ‘Zing Air,’ and while this might sound like something straight out of a parody, it’s very much real. The service is part of a giveaway, where lucky winners get to board the exclusive jet and attend Super Rugby games in style.
But as soon as the news hit the internet, it didn’t take long for the jokes to start rolling in. Because let’s be honest, when you hear that a fried chicken brand is launching a private jet, the possibilities for humor are endless. And Twitter (or should we say X?) did not disappoint.
KFC's private jet giveaway Sparks internet frenzy
The announcement of ‘Zing Air’ quickly went viral after users stumbled upon the post, raising one very important question: Why does KFC need a private jet? While the official reason is a high-profile promotional campaign tied to Super Rugby, netizens had other theories, most of which involved unlimited fried chicken at 30,000 feet.
People couldn’t help but poke fun at the concept, imagining what an in-flight KFC experience might look like. Would the seatbelts smell like Original Recipe? Would passengers get Zinger sauce instead of hand sanitizer? And most importantly, would the flight attendants be dressed as Colonel Sanders?
As expected, the online commentary was golden and crispy.
“Extra crispy tho??” one user asked, summing up what we were all thinking.
Another chimed in with, “Just what the world needs: a private jet service for fried chicken enthusiasts. Because priorities, right?”
Some people were more focused on the potential perks: “Do you get unlimited chicken when you’re on the flight?”
Others wondered about logistics: “Will it be used for delivery?”
One particularly clever user suggested a better name for the jet: “They should have just called it ‘Wings.’” Now that’s marketing genius.
Of course, no KFC discussion is complete without sauce-related queries. “Zinger sauce complimentary??” one user asked as if it were a crucial part of the in-flight experience. And honestly, it should be.
While no one saw ‘KFC private jet’ coming, it’s safe to say the internet is having a blast with it. Whether it’s a next-level marketing move or just a really expensive way to show off, one thing’s for sure: this campaign has already done its job by getting people talking (and laughing).
So, if you’re one of the lucky few to board Zing Air, enjoy the ride. And if not, at least we got some top-tier memes out of it.
