The weirdest vinyl record of the season might be from KFC
If you’re old enough, you might remember when some cereal boxes came with a record. It wasn’t inside like a Crackerjack prize; it was part of the exterior packaging. You carefully cut it out, put it on the cheap-ass turntable your parents bought you, and then listened to it until it wore out, usually after (if memory serves) about a dozen times. Hi-fidelity they weren’t. Hey, what did you expect from a record made of cardboard?
Later, we grew up to treasure flexi-discs, the super-cheap, super-thin vinyl records that came in the pages of magazines. But we’ll talk about those another time because I want to direct your attention to a new KFC promoter. Some in the marketing department must have noticed that the lid on a bucket of chicken is round like a record. So…
so cool!
