Just when you thought 2025 couldn't possibly get any stranger, KFC and Australian oral hygiene brand Hismile have joined forces to bring out the oddest collab of the year so far: Fried Chicken toothpaste and toothbrush. That's right, your morning breath now has a 'finger lickin' good' upgrade.
Loaded with KFC's secret 11 herbs and spices, this special-edition toothpaste is here to give your morning oral hygiene routine a taste of the late-night drumstick. Why settle for minty freshness when you can kick off the day with poultry-fueled plaque defense?
This toothpaste literally tastes like KFC's Original Recipe Chicken. It's not minty. It's not refreshing. It's just straight-up fried chicken flavor in a tube. The toothbrush even looks like a drumstick. People are confused, dentists are worried, yet somehow, it sold out in minutes.
As soon as it was released, everybody was rushing to buy it just to see if they could try it. Some wanted it as a joke, some bought it for YouTube, and others simply wanted to know. Chicken flavor for brushing teeth seemed just too bizarre to be left alone. Soon after the news came out, a user (@BrendoniusNft) commented on X:
"Teeth licking good"
Seriously, that's the vibe. The internet is divided between whether it's a joke, marketing genius, or the end of dental care. The idea of brushing with something that tastes like a vat of Original Recipe chicken has left people appalled, intrigued, and curiously amused.
It's an experience nobody asked for, but everybody is talking about it. Welcome to 2025, where your toothpaste tastes better than your dinner.
The internet descended into madness. The moment the KFC x Hismile Fried Chicken toothpaste appeared on the timeline, fans responded with the best combination of confusion, horror, intrigue, and craziness.
Social media jumped on it fast, and now we're all wondering. No one knows if it's helping anyone's breathing, but it did help make KFC go viral again. Everyone now is speculating what they'll have a brush with next — gravy mouthwash, maybe.
Because nothing brings the online community together like eating chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and now applying it on your teeth, too. Here are some of the best and most ridiculous reactions from fans still mentally reeling from this crispy shock!
Netizens react as KFC announces 'Fried Chicken' flavored toothpaste with Hismile
Some users took the news as a chance to come up with their most witty jokes, and the comment section looked like a stand-up routine. From referring to morning routines as 'breakfast brushing' to wondering if mouthwash is now in gravy flavor, the internet responded with its usual mix of confusion and humor:
"Ain’t no way someone will brush his teeth with that," X user @realaecrypto hilariously commented.
"Can biscuit floss be far away?," @MovieManKev wrote.
"Ain't no God damn way this is real," said @tigerwav.
Others joined in with jokes simply to be a part of the online anarchy. No sense, no meaning, only shots at raw humor. One-liners were frequent and chicken puns were born, and suddenly everybody became a fried-toothpaste comedian:
"This is what yall call throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks," @ParisAmado_ hilariously commented.
"We didn’t really want this… lol," another user, @pintya_, hilariously commented.
"Gravy flavored is wild," @JaredBrehm wrote with sarcasm.
The peanut gallery came out in full, spewing jokes and chicken puns for sport. Some of the comments didn't even bother to make sense, they were present solely for the heck of it. It was more about being humorous in the strangest comment thread of the week:
"April fools day is over," user @Truthseeker2344 said.
"Now that’s finger-lickin’ fresh! Just imagine brushing your teeth and getting that crunchy chicken taste-cluckin’ wild! Can’t wait to see the chicken-scented mouthwash drop next!," user @island_herbz hilariously commented.
"What’s next? Fried chicken body lotion and perfume?," @ShellyBhardie sarcastically said.
"Whoever thought this was a good idea should be fired immediately," netizen @B_Jones2009 sarcastically wrote.
KFC and its weird collaborations
KFC's history is full of strange brand collaborations, and as bizarre as fried chicken toothpaste actually is, surprisingly it's not even the most bizarre. In 2020, KFC collaborated with Crocs to release a limited-run chicken-printed clog.
These weren't just covered in crispy graphics, each pair included drumstick-shaped charms that actually had a fried chicken scent.
Priced at $59.99, the shoes quickly became a collector's item and a conversation starter for anyone brave enough to wear them. If you’ve ever wanted your feet to smell like a family meal, this was your moment. For everyone else, it was just another reason to stare into the abyss and wonder, "Why?"
In January 2025, KFC officially joined the conversation and the kill feed by dropping into Call of Duty with the most unhinged weapon yet: the KFC Bribe Bucket. Partnering with TBWA\RAAD, the fried chicken behemoth allowed players to bribe enemies with virtual chicken in place of mercy when defeated.
Forget strategy, forget skill, just wave a digital drumstick and hope your opponent's appetite trumps their thirst for blood. It's not warfare; it's warfare with extra sides.
Back in 2017, Huawei and KFC partnered on a phone no one needed but everyone recalled: the KFC smartphone. Featuring a humble Snapdragon 430 chip, it wasn't exactly pushing any technological boundaries, but who needs performance when your phone has Colonel Sanders's image literally carved onto the back?
Festooned in shiny red and charged with fast food energy, it resembled less a gadget than a promotion bucket that could send texts. The only feature missing was an order chicken button.
In 2020, KFC concluded that standard commercials simply weren't spicy enough and dropped a 15-minute Lifetime drama titled A Recipe for Seduction. It starred Mario Lopez, yes, Mario Lopez as irresistibly handsome Colonel Sanders embroiled in a love triangle more sizzling than their Extra Crispy.
Romance, betrayal, and secret herbs all crashed into a fever dream-like plot… at a drive-thru. Audiences were perplexed, amused, and suddenly attuned to their attitude towards chicken.
KFC has officially crossed over from the fast food universe and into a world of sheer chaos marketing, where chicken isn't merely consumed, it's worn, brushed, smelled, seduced, and now, used as currency on the battlefield.
From Crocs that smell like drumsticks to phones with the Colonel's face to toothpaste that makes your morning routine a snack attack, the brand has made one thing absolutely clear: Nothing is too bizarre if it's finger-lickin' good.
They've appeared in ads, taken over video games, and gotten folks to make the moves on fried chicken at the dentist. At some point, KFC went from a casual spot to grab a bucket of wings to an official cultural phenomenon. So what's next? A chicken-scented AI assistant, maybe.
A KFC NFT with the aroma of gravy? Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised. Until then, we'll be brushing our teeth with poultry scent, questioning our life choices, and silently preparing for the next unhinged collab that absolutely no one asked for but will 100% sell out in under five minutes.
