Good morning, PR pros:

KFC kindled the holiday spirit by offering “11 Herbs & Spices Firelogs” through Walmart.com. The logs emit a fried-chicken scent:

KFC’s 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog from @envirologfire is BACK to make your yuletide smell like chicken! These sold out fast last year, so get yours now at https://t.co/2JhDqZI6du.

The logs were such a hot commodity that they sold out within a few days:
