Introducing Kentucky Fried Carols — a KFC bucket lid that doubles as a playable holiday record. Using an etched vinyl coating, food-safe ink, and a grease-resistant surface, KFC turned its packaging into a functional, interactive piece of media. Each came in a holiday Colonel sleeve, and every lid record featured four holiday classics, remixed with real KFC sounds — from the fryer's sizzle to the crinkle of wrapping paper.
