Previously, [KFC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kentucky-fried-chicken-toothpaste) has launched nail polish products, bath salts and lotions that share the scents and tastes of its menu items and the fried chicken chain is now introducing a [food-flavored lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lipotle) inspired by hot wings. The hot wing-flavored lipstick dropped on National Lipstick Day and National Wing Day—which coincidentally happen to be on the same day.

Bucket Red No 11 is designed to taste just like eating a bucket of hot and spicy chicken. As some kinds of lipstick are prone to wearing off during eating, this was also a consideration for the product development team, who developed a "WingProof" formula that's designed to last while eating a pair of wings.

Just 400 of the special KFC lipsticks are being made available to members of the KFC's [Colonel Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officially-licensed-kfc-product) for a limited time.
