Flavors that range from outrageous to off-putting are to be expected on April Fool's Day but unconventional toothpaste flavors are the norm for Hismile so it used April 1st to launch Kentucky Fried Chicken Toothpaste—an oral care product that's real and ready to purchase.
Created to satisfy an unusual craving, this toothpaste was inspired by KFC’s legendary 11 herbs and spices, and brushing with it is said to be like "biting into a crispy, hot, juicy piece of KFC Original Recipe Chicken."
As savory and offbeat as it may be, this limited-edition flavored toothpaste for fried chicken fans delivers real benefits with a fluoride-free formula that eliminates common concerns like sensitivity. Teens and adults will delight in this unique recipe since it's not recommended for children ages six and under.
