Chicken-Scented Valentines

KFC is Giving Away Scratch N Sniff Valentines That Smell Like Chicken

In an effort to stake its claim as the ultimate date spot, KFC is giving away scratch n sniff Valentines that help consumers express their feelings in a hilarious and tasty way.

Available as of Monday, February 12th, customers who purchase a $10 Chicken Share will receive one of four different scratch n sniff Valentines. The cards themselves are modeled after children's Valentines, but with a hilarious fast food twist. In addition to puns about coleslaw and chicken pot pie, the back of each card is also infused with the scent of fried chicken. With just a simple scratch, customers can surprise their date with the familiar fast food aroma.

While the scratch n sniff Valentines may not be the most romantic gift, the puny cards are a great way to get your date laughing.
