The combo meal, hand-selected by Harlow himself, includes the brand's spicy chicken sandwich, mac & cheese, secret recipe fries, a side of ranch, and a lemonade. "From releasing 'Come Home the Kids Miss You' and now launching my own meal at KFC, Im having a super blessed summer," Harlow said in a press release. He added that the meal brings together his childhood favorites from growing up in Louisville (like the brand's classic mac & cheese) to newer menu items such as the spicy chicken sandwich (released in 2021) and secret recipe fries (first introduced in 2020.) The move is just the latest in a series of star-studded collaborations between restaurant chains and celebrities as brands work to capture the attentions of new and younger consumers. Last year, Burger King (QSR) introduced "Keep It Real" meals, an iteration of McDonald's Famous Orders campaign. Created by celebrities, the meals use their real names instead of their better known stage monikers. Partnerships include hip hop icon Nelly, Brazilian singer Anitta and TikTok sensation Lil Huddy. Meanwhile, Taco Bell announced last August that Grammy-award winning artist (and former Taco Bell employee) Lil Nas X would serve as the brand's chief impact officer; Popeyes tapped Megan Thee Stallion to create her own hot sauce (ahem, "hottie sauce"); Dunkin' teamed up with TikTok superstar Charli D'Amelio for a limited-time cold brew menu item dubbed "The Charli," and the list goes on and on. "McDonald's has been doing this for [awhile] and it's worked really well, so you're seeing others pile in," BTIG Restaurants Analyst Peter Saleh previously told Yahoo Finance. "Nobody wants to be left behind. It's tough to find something that resonates and works to drive traffic...I think this will be a trend until they find something else that works," he added. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/4/AAaB-xAADTJM.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/5/AAaB-xAADTJN.jpg I always found their food straight up awful.
