Would You Brush with Fried Chicken Toothpaste? KFC Thinks You Might!
Yes, you read that right. Fast food giant KFC has taken a crispy, bold step into the world of oral hygiene — teaming up with Australian oral care brand Hismile to launch a fried chicken-flavored toothpaste.
This unexpected creation is infused with the Colonel’s iconic blend of 11 herbs and spices, offering a “finger-lickin’ fresh” take on your daily dental routine. Retailing at $13, the limited-edition product sold out in record time, proving that curiosity (and maybe a little chicken obsession) knows no bounds.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more outlandish, KFC also released a branded electric toothbrush to match — drumstick not included.
A Tasty Gimmick or Tooth Trouble?
While this novelty toothpaste has certainly grabbed attention — and chuckles — it’s also a timely reminder of what really matters in oral care.
At Evergreen Dentistry, we’re all for having fun with your smile, but when it comes to protecting your teeth and gums, we always recommend using a fluoride toothpaste backed by clinical evidence — preferably without any savoury surprises!
So, Would We Recommend It?
As dental professionals, probably not. But as lovers of a good story? Absolutely. It’s a clever bit of marketing that’s made people around the world think twice about their brushing routine (and maybe crave a bucket of chicken). If it inspires someone to brush more often, we’ll call that a small win!
The Takeaway? Have Fun, But Brush Smart.
Whether your toothpaste tastes like mint, charcoal, bubblegum, or (heaven forbid) fried chicken, the important thing is to:
✅ Brush twice a day
✅ Use fluoride toothpaste
✅ Replace your toothbrush regularly
✅ Visit your dentist for routine check-ups
We promise, we’ll stick to traditional toothpaste in our treatment rooms — but we might ask if you’ve tried this one just for the story!
