Fried chicken-flavored toothpaste sells out shortly after it's introduced
Fried chicken isn't just a food anymore.
It's also a paste.
KFC recently introduced a fried chicken-flavored toothpaste.
The flavors are "inspired by all of KFC's 11 herbs and spices," according to a news release.
"Like biting into a hot, juicy piece of KFC Original Recipe Chicken, this toothpaste is irresistible, coating your teeth in flavor before leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean," the news release said of the Kentucky-based fast-food chain's new toothpaste.
KFC partnered with toothpaste manufacturer Hismile to unveil the newest dental hygiene product for a limited time.
"We love pushing boundaries, and what better way to do that than by bringing KFC's legendary flavors into an everyday essential?" Hismile marketing manager Koban Jones said.
"This collab is bold, unexpected and seriously fun."
Apparently, "finger lickin' good" toothpaste appeals to the oral care-minded public.
The toothpaste, which is offered exclusively on the Hismile website for $13, was sold out as of Tuesday morning.
Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for Hismile to find out when more of the toothpaste would be available.
The toothpaste's description on the website claims it contains a "fluoride-free formula" and has "long-lasting oral health benefits."
While people eager to get their hands on a tube of the toothpaste will have to wait for the next supply, they can always try the new KFC electric toothbrush, which is still available for $59 on the Hismile website.
The toothbrush has "three dynamic cleaning modes, soft-tapered bristles and a built-in timer," according to the website's description.
"It's the perfect mix of fun and function for the ultimate smile."

Gen Z Woman's Bizarre Pregnancy Craving Goes Viral—It's Cereal With a Twist
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Gen Z mom to be is raising eyebrows online after sharing her latest pregnancy craving. London-based Lidia Mera (@lidiavmera) told TikTok viewers that it was the time of day where she needed her "current hyper fixation" snack now that she's in her third trimester. "It's a little bit... I wouldn't say weird, but let's just say interesting," Mera said in her clip. The 24-year-old then prepares a bowl of chocolate hazelnut cereal complete with milk and ice cubes and an unexpectedly generous splash of soy sauce. Mera told Newsweek that her pregnancy craving is a sweet and salty snack that "somehow" works perfectly. "The perfect fusion between refreshing ice cold milk, chocolate filled crunchy cereal for the sweetness and then finishing it off with soy sauce to add that salty element into it—the perfect combo," she said. As someone who's always had a sweet tooth, Mera explained that she's started to also crave salty foods since becoming pregnant. "I tried to find a way to incorporate that salty element into a snack I regularly have: a bowl of cereal, and soy sauce just sounded like the perfect solution," she told Newsweek. "The ice cubes came in to make the milk even colder because when you're pregnant anything ice cold is just immediately 10 times better." Mera's clip has been viewed over 228,000 times and asked TikTok users to "rate" her pregnancy craving in the comments. "Sweet and salty is a foolproof combo so I'm not entirely surprised that this works but damn that soy sauce came out of nowhere," one user wrote. "I have soy sauce on basically everything so I get it," another user added. "Soy sauce and milk? Hell nah," a third wrote. Dr. Shyamala Vishnumohan, an accredited practicing dietitian with a special interest in fertility and pregnancy nutrition, told Newsweek that there's a reason behind pregnancy cravings. "I've seen women crave everything from raw mango with salt to tamarind, amla or even green chilli," she said. "From a scientific standpoint, they're partly driven by hormonal shifts and partly by nutrient needs." Vishnumohan also pointed to research that shows up to 90 percent of women experience cravings during pregnancy, with most occurring during the first and second trimesters. "I also believe pregnant mothers carry this intuitive body wisdom—gently nudging them toward what they need," she said. "It's a beautiful mystery." As for other cravings, Mera said she's been all about "red meat, fries, ice cream—and even better when you pair it or dip it in soy sauce." The expectant mom told Newsweek her pregnancy craving elicited a mix of opinions. "Some people saying it's absolutely horrifying and some people agreeing that this could actually be a good combo, but not sure if anyone is actually keen enough to give it a go," she said.

OUTLOUD Music Festival unveils a non-stop queer dance party at Suffolk Downs
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The performances started with impressive showings by a pair of local queer rappers: Dorchester-bred Big Body Kweeng (whose set was sponsored by Boston's Advertisement Boston-based artist Oompa performs at OUTLOUD Music Festival. Ken McGagh for The Boston Globe on 'It's so important to gather in a time like this,' she said before announcing that it was time to dispense with 'serious [stuff] – let's get into the freaky [stuff],' deploying another track tailor-made for booty-shaking. Advertisement The day's wildcard was Frankie Grande, the older half-brother of pop superstar Ariana Grande. His eclectic résumé includes Broadway work, podcasting, and being a contestant on 'Big Brother,' although his debut album doesn't arrive until the end of this month. With his revealing leather outfit and writhing male dancers, he joked that 'this is kind of different from what I do on Nickelodeon,' referring to his recurring role in the children's channel's 'Henry Danger' franchise. His first single 'Rhythm of Love' echoed the best of classic gay dance music, but a cover of Corona's song 'The Rhythm of the Night' failed to capture the soul of the 1990s original. Aside from the two Boston openers, the non-binary Australian pop-rocker G Flip was the only act of the day to use live musicians (including their own drumming and guitar playing). Performances of songs like 'GAY 4 ME' and 'Rough' explored the joys and perils of modern queer dating, as did a 'cheeky lesbian version' of Taylor Swift's 'Cruel Summer.' 'Disco Cowgirl' and 'The Worst Person Alive' had the kind of universal appeal that makes it likely that G Flip will continue their deserved upward momentum. The audience swelled for birthday girl Rebecca Black, a former viral teen star with a penchant for subverting expectations. Her recent dance-pop LP is called 'SALVATION,' and her stage was full of mock religious placards and dancers with leather harnesses. The crowd favorite of the set was the clubbing ode 'Sugar Water Cyanide.' Pride events have long included allies in addition to openly queer artists as performers. At OUTLOUD, this slot went to rapper Flo Milli, who came onstage without dancers or screen projections. Her assertive and unapologetic rhymes and slinky beats proved to be more than enough, with celebrations of self-confidence like 'Conceited.' Although she didn't explicitly raise any LGBTQ topics, Milli exhorted her fans to 'just keep doing your thing.' Advertisement A-list drag star Mattel presided over what she called a 'solid pink disco,' DJing remixes of Blondie, Donna Summer, and Lady Gaga hits. With her fellow queens dancing on stage, beach balls in the air, and vintage pink-hued videos on the screen, Mattel made a strip of grass in East Boston feel like the coolest pool party in Palm Springs. Trixie Mattel gestures during a DJ set at OUTLOUD Music Festival. Ken McGagh for The Boston Globe on Closing out the night with a crisp set, Kim Petras emerged from a giant wooden shipping container marked 'mail order bride' before launching into her 2017 breakthrough song 'I Don't Want It At All.' Petras is best known to casual music fans for 'Unholy,' her Grammy-winning 2022 collaboration with Sam Smith that made her the first openly trans woman to top the Billboard Hot 100. But guests only heard a few seconds of 'Unholy' – and that was when a glam squad rushed to give Petras an onstage freshen-up midway through her set. Instead, Petras's track 'uhoh' contained the lyrical assertion that 'everything I drop is a banger.' By the end of her 70-minute set, it was impossible to disagree. And in a time when culture wars are raging, an inclusive, queer-friendly sunny day of dance music made its point as loudly as any political speech. OUTLOUD With Kim Petras, Trixie Mattel.

SI Swimsuit model Camille Kostek claims NFL wives judged her for not having wedding ring
Camille Kostek is opening up about the not-so-glamorous side of dating a professional athlete. The Sports Illustrated model, 33, claimed she was judged by other NFL wives for not being married to boyfriend and former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, 36. 'I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger,' she shared on an episode of Kristin Cavallari's 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,' according to US Weekly. 'But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced.' Reps for Kostek did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Kostek was first linked to Gronkowski in 2015. They previously met in 2013 when the pinup was a cheerleader and Gronkowski was in his third season with the New England Patriots. 5 Camille Kostek and Rob Gronkowski attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Launch in New York City on May 15, 2025. Eric Kowalsky / MEGA 'Rob and I met when I was 21 years old, and we've been in each other's lives for 10 years,' she added. 'First breakup was in 2017, but I think that some of the best things that changed the trajectory of my life came from this f—ing breakup that broke me but also allowed me to get in the zone. I didn't care about dating. I felt like I was asexual.' Kostek revealed that she decided to chase her dream after the heartbreak. 5 The couple shared a kiss after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV. @camillekostek / Instagram 'In that year, I decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which was on my bucket list. I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy. There were so many things I was destined to want to do, and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.'' WAG stands for wives and girlfriends. In May 2024, Kostek shared with Fox News Digital the NFL rule she broke to be in a relationship with Gronkowski. 'There is that rule where [you] cannot date the players,' Kostek told Fox News Digital at the time. 'I broke that one, but I kept it a secret for a little while. It was worth it in the end. 5 Kostek was first linked to Gronkowski in 2015.

Instagram 5 Kostek modeled in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at W South Beach on May 31, 2025. Getty Images for Sports Illustrated 'We read our calendars to each other,' she chuckled. 'We don't spend every waking moment together, so it's exciting for us to get on the phone. It's a common thing weekly to get on the phone together when we're in different states and put out our calendars. 'It was my sister's wedding in St. Thomas, and we had our calendars together. We were down on the beach, and I said, 'I have the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch. It's a big one. It's the Legends issue. So, I'm going to be in New York for the first half of the week and then the second half of the week in Miami. And he's like, 'Perfect, I have a podcast to record in New York. I'll be there for your event.' And I'm like, 'Perfect.''
