If you happen to be traveling to Japan during the holidays, their Colonel Sanders stores are worth a visit. You will not only try KFC Japan's signature dishes such as the "Kentucky For Christmas", "Terrine and Ballotine" and biscuits that look like doughnuts. Dining in this widely known fast food chain will also defy their motto, "Finger Lickin' Good", because you will not anymore hold the fried chicken with your bare hands!
KFC Japan has now introduced the use of finger napkin to their 222 branches around Japan's Kanto and Kansai regions on December 15, 2016. These "finger nups" are designed to protect the thumb and the forefinger when grabbing fried chicken from the bucket.
What happens now to KFC's famous "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan? As MSN pointed out, KFC has been offering Wet-Naps to customers since they first started in 1956 to use after a hearty meal. Although "finger nups" isn't an entirely new concept, as it is already being used in restaurants around the world, these are relatively newly developed for KFC Japan.
According to RocketNews24, this new addition to KFC Japan's innovation aims to decrease their customers' one-time napkin use, which were previously practiced to prevent oil and chicken bits to adhere to fingers while enjoying those tasty chicken legs. This plastic "finger nups" are more effective in keeping the fingers clean.
Ladies can now enjoy eating their KFC without worrying about destroying their freshly-manicured nails. Or photography enthusiasts can easily access their phones to take shots of Instagram-worthy KFC Japan menu.
Overall, KFC Japan's aim is to provide convenience and hassle-free services to their customers. The use of finger napkins is just one of the many continuous efforts of the world-renowned brand to lead in the innovation of not only their products, but their services as well. Who knows, these "finger nups" may be on their way to becoming a famous trend for fast food chains and restaurants.
