LOUISVILLE, Ky. — All fingers point to KFC as the fried chicken chain unveils an innovative eating utensil that makes all your KFC favorites (literally) finger lickin’ good.
Introducing KFC Finger Sporks, KFC’s new ergonomic and gastronomic piece of tableware-tech that’ll bring out the fun in family dinner, the company said.
So, what makes it different from regular sporks? KFC says its Finger Sporks are a new spin on the original sporks that KFC helped popularize in the early 1970s when Colonel Harland Sanders adopted them as the utensil of choice for all of his Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. With features like precision prong articulation, anterior branding optimization and sporkasticity technology, KFC’s Finger Sporks make it more fun to scoop out your mac & cheese, retrieve that last piece of corn and delight in your mashed potatoes.
To use, simply place your finger in the KFC Finger Spork, dip said finger into your favorite KFC side item and then elevate the vessel into your mouth. KFC even created a 90s-inspired infomercial to show how to use the new finger lickin’ good utensil — harkening back to a time of scrunchies and boomboxes. Millennial parents will feel nostalgic watching one family take their meal from good to finger lickin’ good, the company added.
Everyone interested in getting their fingers on (and in) a KFC Finger Spork can order a KFC Sides Lovers Meal via the KFC mobile app, KFC.com or at participating KFC locations through July 12 to receive two free KFC Finger Sporks, while supplies last.
“KFC Finger Sporks are taking sides off the sidelines and putting them in the spotlight,” said Nick Chavez, CMO, KFC U.S. “Every detail of the innovative Finger Spork has been carefully crafted and pressure tested – by way of eating many KFC sides — for the optimal finger lickin’ good experience.”
