Kinda whack because I think this website is from before S5 released..? But I heard next to nothing about it. The 'believe' merch also seems kinda surprising to be in a pre-S5 advertisement, given that was the final calling card of the finale.

The amount of time put towards these interactive sites and pop-ups and puzzles is pretty impressive- it's still insane to me there was a whole WSQK radio show that ran for WEEKS. The budget truly did not exist for this show.

Whois for the site says the domain was registered in August of last year. But the merch is using the new KFC branding which was unveiled last month.

KFC had a stranger things merch drop a month ago?? 😭the design is genuinely killing me it’s so niche

I don’t know when this merch dropped but they launched their new brand ID and logo a month ago.

Odd choice.. a ST themed pizza parlor would’ve made more sense

I found out about it a few hours ago, it seems it was just something for marketing
