KFC have launched 'finger condoms' so customers
don't get their hands dirty while tucking in.
Seemingly turning their back on the Colonel's
iconic slogan, 'Finger lickin' good', the hand sheaths have been rolled out in
Japan this week.
Known as the Finger Nup, short for Finger
Napkin, the small bits of plastic are designed to protect thumbs and fingers
from getting oily when eating the famous chicken pieces and allows customers to
use smartphones and laptops immediately after eating.
The fast food chain's officials in Japan said
the new product is a mark-up on customers' tendency to wrap napkins around the
chicken while eating
It occurred to bosses paper napkins weren't
working well enough because the oil was seeping through the tissue
The fast food chain's officials in Japan told Rocket News the new product is a step up from customers' tendency to wrap
napkins around the chicken while eating.
It occurred to bosses paper napkins weren't
working well enough because the oil was seeping through the tissue.
The company decided to trial plastic with the
aim of it being easy to wear and take off.
The finger condoms have been introduced to 222
branches across the Kanto and Kansai regions.
They will be stored behind the counter with
staff.
