LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Fried chicken chain KFC unveils Finger Sporks, an innovative eating utensil that makes all your KFC favorites (literally) finger-lickin’ good. KFC says the new ergonomic and gastronomic piece of tableware-tech will bring out the fun in family dinner.
So, what makes it different from the regular sporks? KFC Finger Sporks are a new spin on the original sporks that KFC helped popularize in the early 1970s when Colonel Harland Sanders adopted them as the utensil of choice for all of his Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. With features like precision prong articulation, anterior branding optimization, and sporkasticity technology, KFC’s Finger Sporks make it more fun to scoop out your mac & cheese, retrieve that last piece of corn, and delight in your mashed potatoes.
KFC Corp., based in Louisville, has been serving up Finger-Lickin’ Good Original Recipe fried chicken since 1952. There are more than 26,000 KFC restaurants in over 145 countries and territories around the world.
To use: Place your finger in the KFC Finger Spork, dip said finger into your favorite KFC side item and then elevate the vessel into your mouth. KFC even created a 90s-inspired infomercial to show how to use the new finger-lickin’ good utensil — harkening back to a time of scrunchies and boomboxes. Millennial parents will feel nostalgic watching one family take their meal from good to finger-lickin’ good!
The KFC Finger Spork was designed to optimize the consumption of KFC sides, but the company expects to see other creative uses customers come up with, like enhancing high-fives, a one-of-a-kind friendship bracelet or playing the saxophone. Fans interested in getting their fingers on (and in) a KFC Finger Spork can order a KFC Sides Lovers Meal via the KFC mobile app, KFC.com or at participating KFC locations starting June 21 through July 12 to receive two free KFC Finger Sporks, while supplies last.* But be quick! These “As Seen on Social” innovations will go quicker than a limited-edition bean-filled plushie.
To qualify for 2 free KFC Finger Sporks, purchase a Sides Lovers Meal between June 21 and July 12 at participating locations while supplies last.
