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.

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

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

Man, I have to share this.

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?

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

What is that sauce?

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:

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