Greggs fans buy more than a million sausage rolls a day, and Brits reportedly consume more than 15,000 liters of KFC’s gravy daily, making the limited-edition Greggs x KFC Gravy Meets Pastry Sharing Bucket a natural fit for both brands with cult followings. However unexpected, this mashup makes perfect sense for fans in the UK who can't get enough of the savory pastries and the fried chicken chain's gravy.
The Gravy Meets Pastry Sharing Bucket will be exclusively on Uber Eats in just four cities for two days, as of August 15th, featuring six Greggs Sausage Rolls and KFC gravy for dipping.
Side sauces have taken center stage as consumers crave dippable, customizable experiences, sparking a new wave of collaborations that elevate snacks and what they pair exceptionally well with to co-starring roles.
