KFC Painted a Portrait for the Man Who Spotted its 11 Herbs and Spices Stunt on Twitter

Last month, Twitter user Mike Edgette, spotted an Easter egg recently placed on KFC’s account by agency Wieden + Kennedy. Edgette discovered that KFC only followed six men named Herb and the five members of the Spice Girls in honor of their secret recipe with 11 herbs and spices. The internet went crazy over this clever marketing stunt and Edgette got over 700K likes on Twitter. KFC rewarded Edgette with a custom painted portrait of Colonel Sanders carrying Edgette piggy-back across the mountains. This once again proved that sometimes the most focused target can reap great reward.
