KFC Hong Kong wants to imply that their Hot & Spicy Chicken is hot. And, if these print ads by Ogilvy Hong Kong are any indication, the chicken is burning rocket fuel-type hot.
With the use of creative placement and clever lighting, actual KFC chicken parts are used to represent fire and smoke. The space shuttle has lift-off, indicated by the drumsticks and wings it leaves behind, while imitation Power Rangers pose in front of a chicken explosion.

The season of non-stop eating, shopping, and coupon emails is upon us. And, sometimes, we may want to escape those harmful wi-fi signals and dinner guests that ask too many questions.
KFC knows your pain, and has the answer in the form of a large metal tent. The KFC Internet Escape Pod is officially a thing. The pod will seat up to four adults looking for a reprieve, and protection from the internet, as the metal walls block out signals.
Of course, no KFC merchandise would be complete without Colonel Sanders involved. Therefore, the Colonel can be seen here — his long arms offering a large internet-blocking hug. So, as KFC probably intended, grab a bucket of chicken, pull on the drumstick door-knob, and enjoy your escape.
Oh, did we mention that the KFC Internet Escape Pod is a one-off that costs $10,000? No escape for you!
If you’re still not sure what to be for Halloween, and wouldn’t mind kicking it old-school, The Colonel Sanders Costume is here to help.
Officially-titled, Halloween Harland, the costume will not only disguise you as the world’s greatest chicken salesman, but the mask and bib pays tribute to those dime store Halloween costumes from the 70s. The Halloween Harland set is available at the KFC Store, with KFC Trick or Treat Buckets available at participating restaurants after Oct. 27th.
Hopefully, your neighbors don’t participate in this vintage Halloween theme, or you’ll probably be getting spare change and NECCO Wafers in your basket.
KFC, never one to shy away from being completely bizarre, has released a virtual-reality training video… and we’re terrified.
The Hard Way challenges the trainee to create the perfect fried chicken in order to escape a locked room — all while taking instruction from a creepier-than-usual Colonel Sanders voice.
Although it’s marketed as a “training game,” The Hard Way has the look and feel of a horror movie. And, there are killer robots involved. At least they appear “killer.” Watch and decide for yourself.
