KFC is finally using its “finger lickin’ good” slogan in a literal way.
The brand’s Hong Kong restaurants teamed with agency Ogilvy & Mather to create an edible nail polish that tastes like KFC’s fried chicken batters. They come in Original and Hot and Spicy.

They even made this weird music video, which doesn’t quite yet count as viral at just 2,000 views:
