KFC tries to avoid controversy after teaming up with sacred Buddhist site for new drink KFCKFC announced that they\u2019d be teaming up with a sacred Buddhist site to release a new coffee, and the chain are taking steps to avoid controversy. We\u2019ve heard of some bizarre fast-food collaborations. Just recently, Cinnabon announced that they\u2019d be bringing out a Mean Girl\u2019s collaboration, ahead of the new movie\u2019s release, which featured pink swirly icing. While 2024 has only just begun, we may have already found the most confusing fast-food collaboration of the year. KFC has partnered with the sacred Buddhist site Mount Wutai to launch a new coffee. The collab features K Coffee, KFC\u2019s coffee offering and Wutaishan, the official brand backed by local cultural and travel authorities, available to customers between 8 and 21 January. KFC tries to avoid controversy after new Buddhist collab After another brand called Hey Tea faced controversy following their collab with Jingdezhen China Ceramics Museum, they were forced to withdraw all items and marketing materials from their \u201cSpeechless Buddha\u201d campaign. This happened just one week after the big launch. KFC is trying to avoid such controversy, and as a result, has decided to forgo any Buddhist imagery on products. They\u2019ve also chosen to market the product with a blessing outside of traditional Buddhist texts, to avoid the same fate as Hey Tea. Another collab is going viral, as Cinnabon announced that they were bringing out pink rolls to celebrate the launch of the new Mean Girls movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
