Lighting a candle for every brand
Netflix and KFC find a new sense to invade.

Not to be outdone, KFC New Zealand created its own scented candle, also as part of a promotion – for anyone who knows they probably shouldn’t be eating from the colonel’s bucket every night, but who still wants to feel like he’s around.
