KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Normally, I would just post this picture in the image thread and call it a day.



But then I realized that the context makes things oh so much worse.

I just don't even know what to say about this. Are there people in America who actually think that looks appealing? I'll happily admit that I like a piece of fried chicken now and then, but I like it just by itself. Not combined with cheese and bacon. How are you supposed to taste 11 herbs and spices that way?

If I see anybody actually eating this thing, I'm going to pull out my sword to chase them down. Running slowly so that I never actually catch up to them for a few hours.

I weep for nutrition.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

First one to find the nutritional facts on this beast wins.

I'll post my analysis if I can find the numbers.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

According to KFC (http://www.kfc.com/doubledown/)

KFC Original Recipe® Double Down has 540 calories, 32g fat, and 1380 mg sodium.
KFC Grilled Double Down has 460 calories, 23g fat, and 1430 mg sodium.

Better yet, you should buy one and give us a review

EDIT:
Apparently it's out in some places

It will surely find a happy home at the website above.

Man, I have to share this.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

I don't eat terrestrial vertebrates, but that does look mighty tasty.

I would like to propose the "Double Down Premium Health Insurance Tax Increase Plan" to save our health care system.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Will that be taxed at a higher or a lower rate than tanning beds?

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Haha this so reminds me of the the newest episode of south park entitled "Medicinal Fried Chicken"

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

What is that sauce?

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Actually, I think the Double Down will save a lot on healthcare costs. When people die of massive heart attacks it costs nothing. They're dead. A normal hamburger is just bad enough to put you on medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. Thats expensive.

In all honesty, though, I've seen a lot worse. Look at nutrition info for a burger from a chain restaurant like Chili's or Ruby Tuesdays. They run well over 1,000 calories for just the burger.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Yeah, this thing actually isn't bad if it's the only thing you eat for the meal.

It's just the concept of it that's really odd and disturbing. :lolz:

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

This is a great idea if you can't afford a gun or a rope.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

And for dessert how about a nice Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich?

Yes, it has honey

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

But terrestrial vertebrates are the deliciousest!

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Only 540 calories for that sandwich? That's not too bad given what it is comprised of. You could do a lot more damage going out to eat. On the other hand that is loaded with fat, but I'm sure it is full of protein too.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

The last time I was at KFC I ate a six piece chicken strip meal with two sides. I bet that had more calories.

This actually sounds pretty good. Y'know, for those days when I want to take my heart down a notch.

And Xantar, I don't know what you're talking about. Bacon is good on everything.

Denny's Cheese Melt

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

I just threw up in my mouth a little...

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

What's with the retarded craze of making the most unhealthy thing possible, and mixing it with 2 or 3 other things that are entirely unhealthy?


Next there will be a French Toast Sandwich with...cheese and bacon in the middle, or something.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

I think it has the same attraction as eater insanely hot wings. Its "food on a dare". People eat it just to say "I ate that and lived!"

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

I've been working out about three times a week for the last few months, and my body has pretty much started rejecting really unhealthy food. I can't imagine trying to eat something like that.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

I'm glad we don't have dumb shit like that go on here.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

Nah, you guys just slather a mountain of fried potatoes with cheese and gravy. That's completely different. :mischief:

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

I've only ever had poutine once.
That's not a Canada-wide thing. That's basically only Quebec.
I don't even know where to get poutine, aside from A&W.
That shit is delicious.

Re: KFC introduces the Double Down
 

It's pretty ubiquitous here on the East coast, as well. Whole restaurants entirely dedicated to poutine.
