The original recipe fried chicken chain swiped right on a match made in heaven with Tinder the online dating app.
NRN reports that the two forces are teaming up to promote KFC’s new Buffalo Ranch dipping sauce and a KFC funded sweepstakes called Saucy Dream Date for two.
The new dipping sauce is a melding of spicy buffalo goodness paired with the creamy smooth ranch flavoring and blended pepper, herbs and spices, and buttermilk.
Also new on the table is the Tinder Tenders meal for two. It consists of six tenders, two sides, two biscuits, two drinks. Of course the Buffalo Ranch sauce would be the star of that meal as well.
The Tinder Tenders can only be ordered through the app or KFC.com so be forewarned if you go to the restaurant and get all worked up if you don’t see them.
“The internet has already called buffalo sauce and ranch one of the best combinations ever made, so we’ve combined spicy and cool into perfect Buffalo Ranch harmony,” CMO Nick Chavez said in a statement. “With the matchmaking magic at Tinder, we’re hoping to help some sauce-loving singles find the buffalo to their ranch.“
The Saucy Dream Date for two will begin accepting entries on October 21, the prize being a trip for two to go on a date to a Jack Harlow concert.
Included in the saucy dream date, will be a KFC meal and all the Buffalo Ranch sauce the as yet unchosen love birds could handle.
To enter – Tinder users can take the quiz through their app which will automatically enter the quiz-takers into the sweepstakes for a chance to win tickets.
“This is such a fun way to spice up the modern dating experience,” said Stephanie Danzi, Tinder’s SVP of Global Marketing, in a statement. “We know our members are connecting over food – being a ‘foodie’ is one of the top Interests they add to their profiles. So we love partnering up with KFC to add more to the mix and give daters a chance at an epic first date.”
Maybe you’ll meet your match through this whole Tinder/KFC charade, if not…at least you’ll meet the new Buffalo Ranch sauce which is surely a good enough partner as any.
