A Sign of the End Times, Part Deux

[Strike For The South]

I wonder if it will be sold in the UK... I'd definitely try it.

As Beskar can attest to, I have a real appetite for KFC; on one occasion, I ate a £12.99 Family Feast (eight pieces of chicken, four fries, two sides) to myself and still had room for dessert. The best part was that I didn't gain any weight from it, haha. Almost as bad as when I ate three foot-long Meatball Marinaras back in university... in the space of about an hour.

Good eating! :D

Amatuer hour at the apolo

Amatuer hour at the apolo

What's that mean?

The funny thing is, you don't realise what everyones imagination of you looks like now.

Haha, I do realise, but at least you and I both know the truth; I just have crazy metabolism.

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 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.

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

Good Lord, I'd die even trying to eat even half of any item on that list.

You're saying that I'm 5ft11 and weigh almost sixteen stone? Crikey... that's way off the mark!

Seen it in the newspaper over here, had a good laugh and stuffed my face with French Belgian fries and cake and guzzled it all down with some of the best beers in the world.

Why did you have to import British ales specifically for this? I know they'd be lower quality, but couldn't you have washed it down with some local beer?
