The limited-edition pool floatie is only available as part of an exclusive contest being held by the brand with only 750 being made available for KFC fans to try winning by entering their email address. The pool floatie itself has the likeness of Colonel Sanders himself and is outfitted with a drink holder as well as a spot to hold a bucket of chicken. The KFC Colonel Sanders Floatie comes as yet another hilarious creation from the QSR brand that expands on the [unorthodox, non-food related products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-x-gshock-timepiece) that it continues to offer.
