Seeking funds on Kickstarter, Fried Chicken playing cards is a new concept in playing cards produced by MPC. Combining the mouth-watering aroma of hot fresh fried chicken and superbly engineered playing cards, the 2 favorite things for many of us!
Over a year in the making, the Fried Chicken playing cards is the world’s first-ever scented deck of cards. According to MPC on the campaign page,
It is not an easy task but as always, backed up by our rich history in making unique custom playing cards, we decided to challenge the norm and do just that.
Adding smell to a deck of cards does in fact affect the smoothness of the entire deck and changes its dynamics of it. MPC continued,
We applied the scent to the deck in a way that absolutely keeps the deck in pristine performance condition whilst smelling like fried chicken while you’re handling the cards.
Using microtechnology, fried chicken fragrant essence oil is trapped inside tiny microcapsules which is then cleverly applied onto the cards as well as the tuck box. When you handle or rub the cards or box, the microcapsules break and release the delicious fried chicken aroma. The whole concept is genius!
The design on the cards has been redrawn and contains 4 different popular chicken pieces namely the chicken wing, drumsticks, thigh, and chicken nuggets.
The Aces are designed in a way to make up the 4 different pips in a traditional deck of cards. The court cards are redesigned so that each of the king, queen, and jack contains their respective fried chicken piece. The red card back contains a white border and 2 whole fried chickens on either end.

The tuck box used for the Fried Chicken deck is 100% made from recycled paper and finished off with a matte water-based varnish to protect the beautiful print. Yup! The tuck boxes are smothered in a fried chicken scent.
The cards use MPC’s renowned M30 linen air light card stock coupled with BETA finish for superb handling. Now on Kickstarter for $16. Limited to only 1000 decks.
