the double-down

This is not a joke. This freaking sandwich actually exists.

I have previously featured blogs regarding thisiswhyyourefat.com and this shizz absolutely qualifies.

skiskidaughter was the first to mention this sandwich's existance to me.  The following day the kid behind me at work said:

"I totally ate a double-down last night, I think I'm dying inside"*
note: there were likely a fair amount of drugs smoked prior to eating said double-down.

The Double Down features two boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce

Is this some sort of joke? I feel like if you eat this...you would be able to feel your arteries clogging.

I mean for realsies what would Jamie Oliver think?? 

I find it funny that if you log-on to KFC.com here is what you will see

"We believe eating sensibly, combined with appropriate exercise, is the best solution for a healthy lifestyle. KFC offers a variety of menu items for those that want lower fat, lower calorie choices, including Tender Roast and Honey BBQ Sandwiches, corn on the cob, BBQ baked beans and green beans."

right after an add for the double-down pops up...

The fried double-down is 540 calories and 32 grams of fat...worth it? I'm unsure...


Okay so even if you cave and take a taste of the double-down I forgive you.  And if you blackout and don't remember it, it didn't happen right? (ahem fox, beef you've both be pinned for eating almost an entire pizza, and basically not remembering it...). 

But while you think about eating this or the fact that there are probably hundreds of thousands of obese people that have ordered and will order this (it's been out since April 12th...) try to pay it forward and help get people out of these icky icky habits: click here.

That's all for now folks...keep on keepin' on.
