The KFC Yule log is back and disgusting as ever

The air is getting colder as we approach the cozy winter months and if you breathe in deep you can catch a whiff of that crisp fall air.

The air is getting colder as we approach the cozy winter months and if you breathe in deep you can catch a whiff of that crisp fall air. Wait, no. That’s crispy chicken we’re smelling.

That’s right — the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices firelog is back, baby. This absolutely cursed log is made for fireplaces, fire pits, and wood stoves and will make your home smell like greasy fried chicken. And who wouldn’t want that?

Warning: The product description says burning the log may result in a craving for fried chicken. It also reminds you that while the firelog smells great (that’s questionable) you should not attempt to eat it — because we know that would be your first instinct, right?

The KFC log burns for up to three unbearable hours and is made from 100% recycled materials, which is a cool move on KFC’s part. While the firelog wouldn’t make the cut for most holiday gift guides, it does actually make for a pretty good white elephant gift.
