A “Great” New Sandwich From KFC
You won’t believe this. I would think Paula Dean came up with this idea:
KFC tests new sandwich with ‘bun’ of fried chicken
Comments
It might just be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
KFC is selling a sandwich that uses two fried chicken filets instead of a bun.
Between the finger-lickin’ pieces of chicken are two slices of bacon, melted slices of swiss and pepper jack cheese and a dollop of “the Colonel’s sauce.”
It’s been dubbed the “Double Down,” and “It’s so much 100 percent premium chicken, we didn’t have room for a bun,” according to a KFC commercial posted on YouTube.
Is your mouth watering? Well, don’t run down to your local KFC just yet. The Colonel is test marketing these calorie bombs only in Providence, R.I., and Omaha, Neb.
They’re $6.99 (not including airfare) for a value meal including fries and a drink.
The calorie count has yet to be posted on KFC’s Web site. But an independent analysis by the Vancouver Sun (yet another example of Canadians looking down on Americans) estimates the Double Down has 1,228 calories.
To put that into perspective, that’s almost 300 calories more than a Wendy’s Triple with Everything.
That is disgusting. I can’t think of anything worse to eat.

That is almost too hard to believe……..but sadly I do.

Melody:
I really believe items like that should be boycotted, and that way, they will stop making them.
