When you wake up in the morning, the last thing you want is chicken in your mouth. You want your mouth to feel clean, fresh, and ready for the day. But now, for some reason, we have a KFC Fried Chicken flavored toothpaste in 2025.
Initially, the idea started as an April Foolโs joke but instead of leaving it as a silly prank, KFC and a toothpaste company called Hismile actually made it. Their teams got together and said, โWhy not make this real?โ
The toothpaste is inspired by KFCโs famous chicken recipe with all 11 herbs and spices packed into one tube. It costs $13 for a small 2.1-ounce bottle. Itโs fluoride-free and said to be okay for people with sensitive teeth. Hismile, known for weird flavors like blue raspberry and chili margarita, says this one โfeels like biting into hot, juicy KFC chicken.โ
Thatโs a weird claim to boast.
Anyway if you want to go full chicken mode, thereโs even a matching electric toothbrush in bright KFC red. It costs $59, has three cleaning modes, a timer, and comes with an extra brush head.
But againโwhy?
Letโs talk about that. Why would anyone brush their teeth with something that tastes like fried chicken?
Some people say itโs all just fun. After all, at least for me, itโs not really meant to be used every day. Itโs more like a joke gift or something you show your friends. A marketing trick to get people talking.
And heyโit worked. Everyone IS talking.
But stillโฆ fried chicken toothpaste?
Thatโs a hard no for most of us. Personally, I donโt want to feel like rubbing spicy chicken against my teeth early in the morning.
Even your brain gets confused. Your mouth says โmmm, tasty,โ your brain says โletโs swallow,โ but your toothbrush says โspit!โ
Itโs a weird experience, and if it leaves your mouth smelling like KFC, good luck on your morning date or a job interview.
Not to mention, this thing costs over $70 if you buy the brush too. For that price, you could just buy real chicken and regular toothpaste and still have change left over.
Thereโs also the question of safetyโฆ The product is fluoride-free, which sounds good but it also means the KFC toothpaste may not protect your teeth the way most toothpastes do. Itโs fun, sure, but not something dentists would likely recommend. In fact, weโre pretty sure zero out of ten dentists are on board with this idea.
But in 2025, this kind of thing is not shocking anymore. Companies love to grab attention by doing wild things. KFC already released a chicken-shaped Tamagotchi in Spain last year, and other brands have done stuff like cookie-scented body wash and beer-flavored cologne.
So maybe this is just the next step in the โweird but viralโ marketing game. People will buy it for laughs, post about it online, and then forget about it a week later.
At the end, brushing your teeth should be about keeping them healthyโnot making you hungry for fried food. But if you want to try it, hey, itโs your mouth. You’re already filling it with all the trash in this world.
Just donโt be surprised if you end up brushing again with your regular toothpaste afterward when a doctor says you need to.
Well, I write daily (mostly the weird stuff i find interesting). If you like this whole no nonsense, no keyword optimisation approach, feel free to bookmark and come back tomorrow or thanks for reading and I don’t think you’ll find me ever again.
See ya, internet friend.
