KFC Launches Christmas Wrapping Paper That Tastes Like Chicken — But There’s a Catch

New York Post (11/21/24) Steinberg, Brooke

KFC has launched Lickable Wrapping Paper for the holiday season. The limited-edition product purportedly tastes like KFC’s Original Recipe Chicken "with a refreshing hit of cranberry sauce and an aromatic pinch of sage from the sage and onion stuffing patty," according to a press release. Phoebe Syms, Brand Manager at KFC UK & Ireland, says the fast food chain's first-ever lickable wrapping paper is "inspired by our epic limited-edition Stuffing Stacker Burger." Syms, though, cautioned that the wrapping paper is "not intended for human consumption." The paper's lickable areas have a protective cover that needs to be peeled off to access the tasty patch. Additionally, KFC notes that it "may require a few licks" to get the full flavor. KFC's Christmas collection appears to only be available online for the United Kingdom and Ireland and not the United States or elsewhere. The KFC paper was designed by the "emerging artist" known as SOLDIER.
