Of all the products offered on KFC Ltd., there is one that is truly out of this world a 400-year-old meteorite. Retailing for $20,000, this one-of-a-kind, real space rock has been molded into the shape of a Zinger chicken sandwich and serves as a commemorative memento of the Zinger's stratospheric mission.

"KFC and Colonel Sanders have been American pop culture icons for more than 70 years. Our fans were craving a way to embrace the fried chicken lifestyle, and KFC Ltd. gives them the opportunity to let their colonel flag fly," said Steve Kelly, KFC U.S. director of media and digital.

KFC plans to partner with other notable apparel and lifestyle brands to create one-of-a-kind collaborations available only from KFC Ltd. in the future. The first collection of quality chicken goods from KFC Ltd. are available for purchase online starting today at http://www.kfclimited.com/.
