KFC Is Apparently Giving Away a Transparent Puffer Jacket Filled with Actual Pickles

Can you imagine the looks you'd get rolling up to your next 3.5 tournament? The admiration? The aura you'd emanate for miles around?

We're not sure who needs to hear this (maybe no one?), but streetwear and brined cucumbers are colliding in the United Kingdom and your pickleball fit might never be the same.

A "pickle puffer" is souring our social media feeds. We tried to ignore it. We really did. But it just keeps coming back. So now we're making it your problem, too.

Apparently, KFC UK & Ireland made a transparent puffer jacket filled with actual pickle brine and real-life, edible pickles. And you can win it (terms apply). If you're into that sort of thing.

Why did they do such a thing? For attention, obviously. And you're here so it's clearly working.

Who would wear this?

Well, maybe you rolling up to your next 3.5 pickleball tournament.

Can you imagine the looks you'd get? The admiration? The aura you'd emanate for miles around?

If pickle puffers aren't your thing, the brand does have some other pickle-themed merch as part of its current "Pickle Mania" offerings. And we'd be lying if we said that varsity jacket doesn't go hard.

Speaking of giveaways, we've got one below that might be more your speed. It ends tomorrow, Saturday, March 28, so act fast.
