KFC’s Sleep-inducing Sizzle

I’ll let the press release explain:

Did you ever think you'd use the expression, "I could just cozy up to the sound of fried chicken?" Well, from ASMR social media channels to film and television production set rumors, the internet has recently unearthed the humorous phenomenon that the sound of cooking fried chicken sounds almost identical to the soothing, sleep-inducing sound of rain falling.

To further investigate, Hatch, a sleep wellness company that creates premium sleep audio content, and KFC®, the "OG" of fried chicken, have come together to release a new "Kentucky Fried Chicken Rain" content channel that can help lull you to sleep. The custom sound is available on Restore 2 smart sleep devices with a Hatch+ premium content subscription beginning today. Fried chicken and ASMR lovers will also be able to access the new "Kentucky Fried Chicken Rain" sound on the Hatch for Sleep and KFC YouTube channels as well as the Hatch for Sleep Spotify page.

The inspiration for the content channel came straight from Louisville, KY, where Hatch visited KFC's headquarters and test kitchen to learn more about and capture the real sound of fried chicken. Hatch employees worked alongside KFC's food innovation team to record the soothing sounds of frying KFC's new Original Recipe® Tenders.
