KENTUCKY FRIED CROC — KFC no longer stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken. As of Wednesday, it stands for Kentucky Fried Croc. That's right. Kentucky Fried Crocs now exist and soon you will be able to buy and wear them.
The shoes are complete with fried chicken "Jibbetz" which serve as an accessory for the footwear. The fried chicken accessories are — unfortunately — inedible.
In an unsettling commercial posted on Twitter, it shows how the, um, interesting creation is made.

The video begins with MLMA, a Korean music artist, wearing a fashion-forward Colonel Sanders-esque outfit waiting for some chicken to cook.
It's not until about 30 seconds into the minute-long video where we first see it: the Kentucky Fried Croc in all of its glory. MLMA pulls it out of the fryer and inside the Croc is, you guessed it, fried chicken.
The shoes will be available this spring, according to the Crocs website. And yes, they will be finger-lickin' good.
