If the smell of hot meat mixed with body odor is your ideal scent du jour, KFC has the product for you.

The fast food retailer introduced its Extra Crispy Sunscreen on Monday, an SPF 30 cream that's purported to smell just like fried chicken.

Who would spend money on such a thing? No one, probably. That's why (we're guessing) KFC is giving away its meat-scented sunscreen for free.
