The world would be an infinitely more dull place if we couldn't smell. After all, 90 per cent of taste is derived from our ability to do so.
Also linked to memory and that feeling of nostalgia we get, our sense of smell - or what we like or dislike - can be subjuctive.
Some people love the smell of petrol, the Marmite of scents, while others hate it. Similarly, freshly cut grass, sweat, nail polish and French cheese are all divisive.
And now there's a new scent sensation which is bound to split opinion: KFC Extra Crispy Sunscreen
#1 KFC has genuinely released their own sun cream
KFC's Kevin Hochman, chief marketing officer for KFC U.S., said in a press release: "While I'd love to tell you our customers have been asking for this, they haven't. In fact, I'm pretty confident nobody ever asked for this. It's just some crazy idea we dreamed up."
So, there you go. No one asked for it, but there's 3000 people out there nonetheless who smell like a family bucket.
#2 What would the Colonel think?
It's not the obvious choice for sun care, however, as the infamous chain point out in their press release:
"The only skin that should be extra crispy this summer is on your fried chicken ." And who could argue with that logic?
But if this has piqued your interest, rather than making you feel queasy /hungry, there's some bad news.
#3 Yum?
KFC's Kevin Hochman, chief marketing officer for KFC U.S., said in a press release: "While I'd love to tell you our customers have been asking for this, they haven't. In fact, I'm pretty confident nobody ever asked for this. It's just some crazy idea we dreamed up."
So, there you go. No one asked for it, but there's 3000 people out there nonetheless who smell like a family bucket.
#4 KFC's new marketing gimmick: Giving away scented sunscreen
"The only skin that should be extra crispy this summer is on your fried chicken", said the press release according to Mirror, and who could argue with that logic? And it will probably get you hungry as well.
#5 Would you ever try out the KFC sunscreen?
A bottle of Extra Crispy Sunscreen is modeled, Monday, Aug. 22, 2016, in New York. On Monday, KFC gave away 3,000 bottles of the lotion to drum up buzz for its Extra Crispy chicken. KFC, which is owned by Louisville, Ky.-based Yum Brands Inc., said that it was out of the bottles a few hours after they appeared on its website.
