KFC's Bacon Sandwich On Fried Chicken "Bread" Starts Killing People Nationwide April 12
The Consumerist ^ | April 2, 2010 | Chris Morran

Posted on 04/04/2010 6:00:57 AM PDT by Daffynition

Last August, we wrote about the "Double Down," a mysteriously tempting (and potentialy lethal) new food item being tested by KFC. For those coming late to the story, it's bacon and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken. And now, many months later, I'll finally be able to get my hands on one.

KFC announced the decision to go live with the Double Down yesterday, but we weren't sure they weren't playing a April Fools gag. But no, they truly are going nationwide with the delicacy on April 12.

The sandwich will be available in two forms. The Original Recipe sandwich will set you back about 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium. The not-as-bad-for-you Grilled Double Down totals 460 calories, 23g of fat and 1430mg of sodium.

My daughter told me about this food item with the overtones of horror in her voice. After seeing this photo of it, I can understand why. It looks absolutely disgusting. Who would use two pieces of chicken as if they were bread? Good grief, this “sandwich” is too much.

Like John Lennon said, " 'ism, 'ism, 'ism". Why don't people stop being poking their noses in other peoples' ?

If KFC wasn’t so stupidly overpriced I’d try one.

i don’t know how to insert pictures here but Homer Simpson drooling is called for. It looks like a meal from Krusty Burger.

It’s probably lower-carb than their regular sandwiches. Processed white bread will kill you.

I agree the thing doesn’t look too appetizing, but those who find the item “horrifying” are free not to buy it. The thing about all fast food is that nobody is holding guns to our heads and forcing us to eat it.

I’m sure the headline writer also thinks that SUVs cause traffic accidents.

The horror ... gangs of roving chicken sandwiches stalking our streets ... terrorizing our children .... oh, the Huge Manatee!
