From swans and flamingos to pizza slices and donuts, pool floats have become the perfect toys for summer. A must-have for your social media selfies this season, bring the KFC Colonel floatie to your favorite water destination and watch as your friends drool with envy (and hunger). “We saw that the over-the-top pool float trend was taking over social media and thought it would fit perfectly with our notorious Extra Crispy lifestyle campaign. Summer is about making fun memories,and what better way to do that than drifting on the water in the arms of the one and only Colonel Sanders,”said Zahumensky. Visit KFCfloatie.com starting today through June 22 to enter for a chance to win one of the limited-edition free floaties, which aren’t being sold or made available outside of this giveaway.

KFC is also partnering with Snapchat to create a World Lens that brings the Colonel to life in an augmented reality experience that enables users to live the Extra Crispy lifestyle with the help

of their smartphone camera. Snap chatters can also enter to win a KFC Colonel floatie directly from the lens starting on Memorial Day, May 28. The KFC Colonel floatie quietly debuted recently in an ad spot with famously tanned actor George Hamilton sitting atop the floatie as the Extra Crispy Colonel, to introduce KFC’s new Crispy Colonel sandwich. The Crispy Colonel sandwich,a classic chicken filet, hand-breaded in KFC kitchens and made to order,is the perfect portable complement for floating on the water this summer.
