Wearable QSR Utensils

The KFC Finger Sporks Come with the Sides Lovers Meal

— June 21, 2022 — Marketing
The KFC Finger Sporks are a handy utensil created by the QSR brand for diners to easily enjoy their favorite menu items in an optimized manner. The utensils come as a new spin on the original sporks the brand provided in the 1970s and work by being placed onto an index finger before enjoying your choice of side dish. The bright-red design of the utensils makes them easily recognizable for patrons and offer a fun way to enjoy some of the brand's classic dishes.

The KFC Finger Sporks are being offered with every KFC Sides Lovers Meal purchase in the restaurant, through the brand's app or online. The utensils are being promoted with an infomercial-style video for a tongue-in-cheek marketing approach.
