Nothing says home cookin' like the taste of industrialized meat on your fingernails.
Fast food superpower KFC recently announced that they want to take their chicken into a whole new domain. No longer will poor customers be forced to get their daily dose of chicken from actual chicken. Soon KFC fans in Hong Kong can paint their hands with edible Original or Hot & Spicy KFC nail polish.
