+ Show Spoiler + Yes, that is 2 fucking pieces of fried chicken instead of buns. Inside is two pieces of bacon, two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and a squish of Colonel's Sauce. Feeling healthy? Go for the grilled chicken version instead. The "original recipe" Double Down has 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of sodium. The grilled version has 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and a whopping 1,430 milligrams of sodium. Most health groups recommend a maximum intake of 1,500 to 2,400 milligrams a day.
KFC's new Double Down sandwich raises a lot of questions: Is a sandwich truly a sandwich if it contains no bread? How do you eat this without getting your hands all greasy? Who's it for? Atkins fans? Gastronomic daredevils? Does this thing—which contains two fried chicken fillets, two slices of cheese and two strips of bacon—really clock in at fewer than 600 calories, as KFC claims? Consumers in Providence, R.I., and Omaha, Neb., may be mulling these questions, since those are the only two places you can buy the item right now. But KFC appears to be, uh, greasing the wheels for a national entry. There's a TV ad from Draftfcb, Chicago, that shows a bunch of guys complaining in helium voices that they're tired of chicken sandwiches that have a big bun and little in the way of chicken. Then the Double Down comes along, and they start speaking normally. Despite its limited introduction, the sandwich has gotten considerable buzz. A YouTube version of the Draftfcb ad has gotten more than 180,000 views, and a Fox News report has garnered more than 80,000. That anchor couldn't help musing that this may be the best thing since sliced bread.

Wow, disregarding the absurdity of the thing and the backwards health logic of KFC, you guys would pay 8 bucks (assuming tax and rounding up) for this? Why the fuck wouldn't you rather just buy 2 chicken sandwiches? (you can throw away the buns) Plus it's fucking messy, half the point of a bun is to hold it all together and not get your hands all greasy.
|
that's offensive and disgusting! :D
|
looks good, i'd try it haha
|
It looks pretty good actually.
|
I stopped eating poison a while ago, so no, i wouldnt order it. It's just fitting how somehing like this is invented in America :D
|
i would eat 2 pieces of fried chicken, the cheese and bacon is just a delicious bonus
|
it looks like the ultimate food to eat whilst high or at any time fuck I want one right now
|

This man knows what he's talking about. I agree. Rather order 2x some smaller sandwich and get buns.

I hate it how ads always make burgers look huge but when you buy them they're tiny pieces of shit. And then after you've finished eating one after having been through the drive-through 20 minutes ago and you're already too far away from the establishment to go back you're still really fucking hungry.
|
hmmm no KFC here near just mac stupid ^^
|
I'd eat one... Though it would probably the last thing I ever ate, it still looks delicious.
|
It is 3:48 AM here, and I am in a very fucking hungry mood right now and I would eat the shit out of that.
MMM. How much is the Colonel paying you, Charlie?!
|
I am so ordering this day one.
|
I never was in KFC/MC
