A TikTok video posted by @rhinoceros_too on 12 November 2025 has sparked a wide conversation after a man confidently showed what he claimed to be KFC’s secret spice packaging from the comfort of his home, saying he had a connection who supplies it as long as customers bring their own meat. The clip immediately raised eyebrows because the packaging looked like the seasoning used inside KFC branches, which should never be leaving the store, leading many to assume he may have received it through a staff member. The man casually explained that his connection sorts everything out, and he seemed unfazed about revealing something that is usually tightly protected. The moment left viewers amused, shocked, and questioning whether the man actually had access to something he shouldn’t have.
Beyond the spice itself, the way he presented it added a layer of humour to the unfolding conversation. He acted as if having access to the seasoning was the most normal thing in the world, almost like it was just another weekend errand. South Africans picked up on his confidence, joking that he spoke like someone with long-standing links to the KFC backroom. It became clear why the clip gained so much attention: it combined curiosity, suspicion and comedy, especially for viewers who know how seriously the brand guards its recipes.
