The summer is a wonderful time, but there’s one problem if you have no plans to go away on vacation – other people’s holiday photos.
Be it Facebook, Instagram or any other sharing platform, at about this time of year you can hardly scroll through a feed without seeing yet another pair of ‘hotdog legs’.
KFC in Romania has come up with an answer to this conundrum, however: it wants you to troll your friends with fake vacations photos. ‘Fakation’ photos, if you prefer.
Of course, given that it’s a promo for a fast food joint, KFC wants you to go in-store (in Romania) to snap your shots using backgrounds its tray liners.
Yes, it’s not as good as going on holiday, but if you want to try and annoy your friends with picturesque holiday snaps, then this is one way to do it. You will need to be in Romania as well, though, as this is a local promotion.
