For Valentine's Day this year, KFC Canada is selling 'The Colonel's Fondue Bucket,' which offers a way to heat gravy rather than cheese. The Colonel's Fondue Bucket set comes with a $20 KFC gift card for a large gravy and Popcorn Chick’n Share meal, plus a chicken bucket-shaped dipping container, two tea lights and two branded fondue forks.
Although the $30 product set, which is exclusive to Canada, quickly sold out, KFC Canada is giving away one as part of a contest on Facebook.
This year, KFC is also promoting its Chicken Share with a series of chicken-scented scratch 'n' sniff Valentine's Day cards. In the past, it has released heart-shaped takeaway buckets for the holiday, offering plenty of unconventional ways for fans to celebrate the holiday.
