Yep, you heard that right: KFC is selling $20 crosages for prom night. It is a chicken leg (original recipe, don't you fret) that is in the center of some baby's breath flowers. Along with the crosage, you apparently get a free KFC original drumstick.
Wow... I almost don't know how to react to this. On one hand, I think it's completely amazing, and that is my kind of crosage. Flowers AND fried chicken? Two of my favorite things at once! On the other hand, imagine how weird it must be to walk around munching on your wrist all night, and even when you finish it you have some pretty flowers and then a chicken bone in the middle. Not exactly flattering. I feel like it might be cruel to the girls, who probably dieted to fit into their prom dresses, and then their boyfriends buy them a crosage with fried chicken on it.
Despite my conflicted feelings, I still think this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, and it makes me happy that is just exists.

I am definitely snagging one of those puppies! Very nice.

ReplyDeleteKFC is actually pretty smart for creating this. They've assimilated to the current prom season and understand the principle of supply and demand. High school girls are currently looking for unique, innovative ways to make their prom experience extra special. Smart move, KFC!
