Like that old Lays Potato Chip slogan, "betcha can't eat just one". I'm guessing you can snarf at least 6 of them in half an hour.

The whole thing should be dipped in beer-batter, deep fried and heavily salted. Then I would probably eat it. Otherwise, I'd probably just get a white buffalo pizza. (blue cheese dressing sauce and buffalo chicken topping). Well worth the coronary.

Heh. Following Lemur's link, I watched the TV ads. Whether English version or Spanish, the the actors are all skinny men - not one over 200 lbs. - unlike most of the customers I see entering or leaving my local KFC.

But hey, without bread, maybe they could tout it as as dietarily-correct.

I watched the TV ads.

I hadn't noticed until now that there is a "KFC media player." Now I know the planet is doomed.

Looks like the Colonel's latest creation is too much for the Canucks.

“It is not going to be launched in Canada,” said a spokesman here. “KFC Canada is a very separate company” with the philosophy of “let them test it first and see how it is doing.”

For months, part of the speculation online and elsewhere was that the Double Down was a hoax. Indeed, food industry consultant Darren Tristano was called on Monday to explain what KFC was thinking by creating a sandwich with practically a full day’s dose of sodium in one serving.

“They’re targeting working-class consumers that have less discretionary income. It’s about quantity. Whether we like it or not, this product will appeal to a signficant portion of the consumer base,” he told salon.com.

“It appears to be achieving the goal, which is to get people interested. Freak shows are disgusting but everyone seems to want to go to them anyway. I’m probably going to try one.”

Calling it a “legendary sandwich,” KFC vice president of marketing Javier Benito explained the advance publicity blitz by saying, “We want fans to have time to arrange their scheduled in advance.”

P.S.:

Lemur, don't the rules say you have to put things that repulsive in spoiler tags?

Until now we've had no rules for "explicit food," but that may have to change.

I think you are okay. The product description does not specifically mention the meat being breasts or thighs...if it was the latter, that second picture might be considered very, very naughty.

haha, who is this guy? "Whether we like it or not..."


I doubt that this thing is much more unhealthy than many other fast food items.

Is it wrong that I think the grilled chicken variant looks kind of yummy?

That's richly ironic coming from the Land of Poutine. Can I have a diet coke with that?
