KFC Makes A Splash With New Colonel-Shaped Pool Floatie To Crisp Up Your Summer, And He'll Even Hold Your Bucket Of Chicken And A Beverage

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 23, 2018

Like the recently-introduced Crispy Colonel, the KFC Colonel floatie is perfect for the on-the-go, summer lifestyle. More than three million lucky customers have already enjoyed KFC's Crispy Colonel sandwich. Now hundreds of them will have the chance to enjoy their new favorite chicken sandwich (or a bucket of chicken) while floating in their favorite body of water, atop their favorite KFC Colonel-shaped floatie.

"We want this to be the best summer ever, so it wasn't enough for us to bring back George Hamilton as the Extra Crispy Colonel and debut a superior, craveable fried chicken sandwich that stands above the rest," said Andrea Zahumensky, KFC U.S. CMO. "We wanted to create the perfect vessel for enjoying the Crispy Colonel sandwich (or a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken). Enter the KFC Colonel floatie."

From swans and flamingos to pizza slices and donuts, pool floats have become the perfect toys for summer. A must-have for your social media selfies this season, bring the KFC Colonel floatie to your favorite water destination and watch as your friends drool with envy (and hunger).

"We saw that the over-the-top pool float trend was taking over social media and thought it would fit perfectly with our notorious Extra Crispy lifestyle campaign. Summer is about making fun memories, and what better way to do that than drifting on the water in the arms of the one and only Colonel Sanders," said Zahumensky.
