Some people take Valentine's Day seriously, others take it with a healthy serving of humor; [KFC New Zealand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-new-zealand-popcorn-chicken-slab) falls squarely in the latter category. To celebrate the romantic annual occasion, KFC New Zealand gave away 20 bouquets filled with [fried chicken rather than flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-pickles-1).

In order to be entered for a chance to win one of the delicious fowl bouquets, consumers have to tag themselves and "the wind beneath [their] chicken wings" in an accompanying post on the KFC New Zealand [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexi-ai) page. Many users also included stories about how KFC influenced their relationships with their partners along with the tagged entries.

According to the restaurant, the fried chicken makes for "the best smelling Bouquet this Valentine's Day."
