The brand’s famous blend of eleven herbs and spices served as the inspiration for this unusual product, which promised an “irresistible” sensation.
In collaboration with the Australian dental care company Hismile, KFC has introduced toothpaste with a fried chicken flavour, expanding the use of its characteristic flavour beyond the dinner table. The unique product, which was only available for a short period, has already sold out. It was inspired by the fast-food chain’s well-known 11 herbs and spices.
In a press release, KFC described the toothpaste as “like biting into a hot, juicy piece of KFC Original Recipe Chicken,” offering a fresh and clean finish after coating teeth in flavour.
Also, in a combined Instagram post on April 1, the two companies stated: “Not a prank. It’s here. And it’s Finger Lickin’ Good.”

The post has subsequently received over 11,000 likes, with two linked posts garnering over 3,000 likes each.
“We love pushing boundaries, and what better way to do that than by bringing KFC’s legendary flavours into an everyday essential?” Koban Jones, marketing manager for Hismile, told Fox News on being thrilled about the special partnership. “This collab is bold, unexpected, and seriously fun,” he added.
The toothpaste, which cost $13 (Rs. 1,123) and could only be purchased on the Hismile website, was sold out by Tuesday morning (April 8) despite its oddball appeal.
KFC aficionados may still obtain the brand’s electric toothbrush even if the toothpaste is presently sold out. The toothbrush, which costs $59 (about Rs 5,097), is described on the website as “the perfect mix of fun and function for the ultimate smile,” thanks to its “three dynamic cleaning modes, soft-tapered bristles, and a built-in timer.”
Previously, KFC introduced “No. 11 Eau de BBQ,” a limited-edition perfume that was only available in the UK and featured notes of smoked wood and charcoal. The scent cost $13.82 (about Rs 1,200) and came in a 100-milliliter container with red and black stripes.
