January 07, 2025 Brand Collabs: KFC x Crocs, Colgate Lasagna, Cheetos Lip Balm
This week, I brought on my wife for a game that’ll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about brand collaborations– We’re guessing if these insane partnerships are real or just creations of my AI sidekick!

Fried chicken-scented Crocs, lasagna from your favorite toothpaste brand, and yes, even Lego-infused jeans—nothing is off the table. We also explore what makes some collaborations work (Lego Levi’s, anyone?) and why others—like toothpaste-branded lasagna—should’ve stayed on the drawing board.

Tune in now and join the fun! Dark Mode with John Coyle — Brand Collabs: KFC x Crocs, Colgate Lasagna, Cheetos Lip Balm
