KFC brings its bizarre pickle menu to the UK and it includes a pickle-flavored Pepsi

by

KFC is bringing its popular pickle-flavored menu to the UK, following a successful launch in Canada where it even included a pickle-flavored Pepsi.

So, KFC dropped this ‘Pickled Menu’ in Canada back in August 2025, and honestly, if you were craving something tangy and salty, you had to check it out. People were definitely lining up to try it!

Now, months later, KFC UK is giving it a go in what the brand is calling “Pickle Mania.”

KFC’s brand manager, James Channon, explained that pickles often play a background role, and the company felt it was time to give them the spotlight.

KFC is embracing pickles like never before with ‘Pickle Mania’! They’ve launched four new menu items all featuring a big pickle flavor, including a limited-edition Pickle Pepsi Max.

The menu’s star is the new Pickle Burger, featuring gherkins, a special pickle ranch sauce, crunchy pickle chips, and a unique pickle seasoning.

Okay, so KFC has some really interesting sides now! They’ve got these things called ‘Frickles,’ which are basically fried pickles – seriously! – and you get to dip them in whatever sauce you like. Then there are Pickle Loaded Fries, which are their regular fries but covered in pickle-flavored goodness. I’m definitely going to have to try both!

And then there’s Pickled Pepsi! It’s Pepsi Max mixed with pickle juice. The original version was called surprisingly tasty, with a strong, unusual flavor, and included a bit of pickle brine.

The entire menu will be available in one box for £12.99, around $17.30 USD.

KFC is launching a new menu featuring pickles starting March 23rd. These limited-time items will be available at all locations until April 19th.

The restaurant has been getting a lot of attention lately for its unusual marketing stunts. They’ve released things like fried chicken-flavored toothpaste, a high-end clothing collection, and even created a team of superheroes – similar to the Power Rangers – to advertise their dipping sauces in Singapore.
