KFC has announced a venture into the cosmetics market today with the launch of a ‘bucket red’ lipstick that tastes just like hot wings.
No, as mad as it sounds, we’re not pulling your leg here – we’re being serious.
To celebrate both National Lipstick Day and National Wing Day, which both happen to fall on the same day, the fast food chain has unveiled a hot wing-flavoured lipstick named KFC Crave, and apparently it’s supposed to taste just as good as its famous fried chicken.
KFC Crave comes in the universally-flattering shade of ‘Bucket Red No.11’.
According to KFC, the lipstick boasts “wing proof” technology, which is designed to keep it lasting longer, and the beauty of this eight-hour staying power means that you can chomp down on your chicken without your makeup budging.

Speaking on the launch of KFC Crave, a spokesperson for KFC said: “Set to take the beauty world by storm, KFC Crave has been designed with a revolutionary new WingProof formula.”
“Not only does it taste lip smackingly good, but it’s been formulated with a new eight-hour conditioning and smudge proof technology that means it can survive a KFC wing-sesh.”

“The budge-proof finish gives you the freedom to wear your lipstick and enjoy your wings.”
If you were wondering, it’s also been confirmed that 100% of tested subjects said “KFC Crave could withstand the eating of two KFC Hot Wing Snacks” too, so that’s definitely worth noting if you’re actually planning on trying this lipstick out at some point.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
