KFC fans now have a new way to express their love for their personally preferred poultry. The Kentucky for Kentucky company sold gold-plated Kentucky Fried Chicken bone necklaces made from real KFC chicken wing bones.
The company teamed up with Meghan Carroll of Meg C Jewelry, who created the necklaces after a night full of KFC chicken wings.
Carroll and her boyfriend ate 25 wings from a KFC in Kentucky, then cleaned the bones with soap and water. She let them dry, then painted the bones with a varnish, graphite conductive paint and coated them in copper. The bones were then plated in 14-karat gold.
“Like Willy Wonka’s Everlasting Gobstopper we’ve figured out a way to make it possible to savor a single piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken forever,” writes Kentucky for Kentucky on its website. “For-ever and ever. We all win.”
If the company sounds familiar, they’re the same people who brought you the Kentucky fried chicken-scented candle last year. When they first went on sale, they sold out in less than a minute.
Only 20 KFC bone necklaces were available for purchase online Friday and sold out immediately. The small gold-plated chicken bone necklace was priced at US$130, while the larger version was US$160. Both necklaces come with 14-karat gold-plated chains.
Carroll suggests wearing the chicken bone necklaces with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt or even with a little black dress. Apparently, they go with everything.
