KFC chicken-scented yule logs sell out within hours

Who could have imagined demand would be so high? *looks askance* Curious.

Details at Bizpacreview.
The chicken chain restaurant launched its own KFC-scented Enviro-Logs on Thursday, claiming that once burning, the logs will smell like the Colonel’s signature blend of 11 herbs and spices, Fox News reported.
Why would you want that?

And you can get that yourself by frying some chicken. I know because I just fried some chicken thighs and the odor lingers. Wanna see it?

Okay. Here.


The rest of the article is all tweets from people who want one or they are ridiculing the idea. 

But they're sold out. Really fast. And that underestimation is a poor business decision. They could have sold more and they could have increased the price. 

And where KFC leaves off you can trust eBay to pick up. And eBay vendors will find the right market value. The proper value of an item is what somebody will pay for it. 

Check it out, and see what value the secondary market places on KFC-smelling yule logs. 

EBay: [kfc yule log] As of this writing I see three offered: 

$160.00 + $13.00 shipping

$299.00 + $15.00 shipping

$77.00 +$16.00 shipping

Good Lord. Just buy a bucket of chicken and leave it open. 

Mmmm, chicken.

One time I was riding with a vegetarian and I suggested KFC for lunch. He goes, a bit angrily, "COME ON, BO, YOU KNOW THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE I CAN EAT." 

And I go, "They have really good coleslaw. And really good potato salad. But you cannot have their really great biscuits on account of your debilitating gluten reaction." 

So we go through, and scarfing the coleslaw he said, "Man, this was a great idea. This stuff is good.


I have cracked the code of the 11 secret herbs and spices that KFC uses for their chicken:

1. salt
2. salt
3. salt
4. salt
5. salt
6. salt
7. salt
8. salt
9. salt
10. salt
11. salt
