I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator is a visual novel released by KFC in September 2019 that unexpectedly took the internet by storm. Developed by Psyop, the game features a highly stylized, 'bishonen' version of Colonel Sanders as a culinary school classmate and love interest. The meme surrounding the game stems from the sheer absurdity of a multi-billion dollar fast-food chain producing a legitimate dating simulator where players can romance their corporate mascot. It quickly became a staple for memes regarding corporate 'waifu-ization,' ironic thirst posts, and the surreal nature of modern brand marketing. Users typically use screenshots of the game's over-the-top anime tropes and blushing dialogue to mock weird corporate decisions or express mock affection for the fried chicken mogul.
