The KFC 11 Herbs and Spices meme stems from the legendary secret recipe of Colonel Harland Sanders, which remains one of the most famous trade secrets in the world. The meme gained massive traction in 2016 after a supposed handwritten list of the ingredients was shared by a relative of the Colonel during a media interview. Since then, the image of the notebook page has become a versatile template for 'leaking' secrets, truth-bombs, or lists of ingredients for specific personality types. It perfectly captures the excitement of discovering 'forbidden knowledge' and is frequently used across social media to parody corporate secrecy or provide humorous instructions for absurd situations.
