Today, the chicken giant revealed that for a limited time only they would be giving away free Extra Crispy Sunscreen. And now you can slather it all over yourself in the form of KFC’s Extra Crispy Sunscreen, an SPF 30 lotion that replaces the usual, post-coital-coconut smell of regular sunscreen with the Colonel’s tangy 11 herbs and spices.

We just discovered the eighth Wonder of the World: KFC sunscreen.

You might think this is a joke, but it’s 100 percent real. In June, it hired always-tan actor George Hamilton to appear in commercials as Colonel Sanders. But if we’re not careful it also gives us painful sunburns.

UV rays bounce off your skin and “fragrance rays” penetrate it, so you can get that “healthy chicken” smell so many people want.

However, KFC itself admits that there has not been a demand for such a product.

According to the website, the sunscreen is now all gone. “In fact, I’m pretty confident nobody ever asked for this”. (NYSE: YUM). A few months ago, the company launched a nail polishin Hong Kong that tastes like its chicken.

“Our chicken is hand breaded and freshly prepared in our kitchens all day every day, which is why you can smell our Kentucky Fried Chicken outside of our restaurants”, said Kevin Hochman, in a news release. KFC has a sunscreen for you!
