The limited-edition offering marks the first time a Gen Z Internet personality has co-created a product with the brand in India.

The new item features KFCโ€™s classic Chicken Popcorn tossed in a spicy and tangy Nashville sauce, bringing CarryMinatiโ€™s signature style and taste to the iconic snack.

Priced at INR 199 (USD 2.31), the Saucy Popcorn is aimed at the internet-savvy generation and will be available across KFC outlets in India for a limited time starting April 11.

The product also comes in special-edition packaging featuring CarryMinati and includes a spork โ€” an idea credited to the YouTuber himself, designed for ease of snacking during gaming sessions.

With over 67 million followers across platforms, CarryMinati is one of Indiaโ€™s most influential digital creators, and the collaboration signals a growing trend of brands leveraging social media icons to connect with younger audiences.
