KFC has launched a licensing partnership with Corkcicle for a limited-edition collection of temperature-controlled drinkware products.
Inspired by the KFC brand’s logo and fried chicken menu items, the licensed Corkcicle collection features three product designs including a Cruiser tumbler, a leakproof Canteen and an Ice Bucket.
The Cruiser tumbler offers a triple-insulated temperature-regulating design that features a KFC fried chicken printed pattern, a comfort-grip handle and a straw top.
The leakproof Canteen includes a triple-insulated temperature-regulating design, a fried chicken pattern, a quick sip cap and a folding handle.
The special-edition Corkcicle Ice Bucket is inspired by KFC’s classic fried chicken bucket and was developed to keep ice solid for up to 48 hours.
“We’re delighted to partner with KFC to bring our customers something like we’ve never done before that is truly special,” said Corkcicle co-founder, Stephen Bruner. “KFC is an iconic global brand that everyone has some connection to. It has been a blast to create some very fun products in bringing our two brands together for this collab.”
Corkcicle is a US-based reusable drinkware company that specializes in designing, developing, distributing and marketing stylish and environmentally sustainable products.
Corkcicle’s portfolio includes a wide variety of drinkware products such as tumblers, mugs, coolers, canteens, cold cups, beverage accessories and more.
In 2018, the company began an ongoing partnership with Charity: Water to help the non-profit organization provide clean drinking water to those in need.
The KFC collection is currently available for purchase through the official Corkcicle e-commerce website, while supplies last.
A subsidiary of Yum! Brands, the KFC Corporation is a fast food chain restaurant company that operates more than 30,000 KFC restaurants in close to 150 countries and territories around the globe.
