Oh Colonel, What Have You Done?

First of all, let me begin by thanking my friend, Andy, for suggesting the topic of this post. If there is ever a Hall of Fame for contributers to this blog, Andy will be in the inaugural induction class. 

Now then, what you see in the photo is one of the world's newest reasons to hate America - KFC's Double Down Sandwich.

This culinary monstrosity consists of two full sized chicken breast fillets with bacon and cheese stuck between them. There's no bun (You know how bad those carbs are), it's just meat and cheese. Don't worry though, if you are on a diet, you can get the chicken breasts grilled.

How is this even legal to sell? You're telling me that in this country, marijuana is illegal but any kid with $3.99 can go into KFC and buy one of these things? Of course, if marijuana was legal, sales of this beast would probably triple.

I think if you look at the fine print on advertising for The Double Down, you will see something rather disturbing. That is, that after eating this sandwich, Kevin Spacey's character from the movie Se7en, will come to your home and murder you for gluttony.

  1. chonson,
    i gotta say i disagree. i think this sandwich is another great idea from kfc. i think it's an even better idea than that bowl of mashed taters and cheese and god-knows-what else they sell. anyway, it can't be any worse than the chicken.

    speaking of, i can eat popeye's and church's chicken all day long (and i have). but if i have so much as a couple drumsticks of the colonel, i feel like a cat had a litter of kittens in my stomach and they are all taking little newborn kitty dumps. finger lickin' my ass. wait, that came out wrong...

    Don's... Just thinking about the place makes me misty and a little lonesome. When I drive by Don's I feel like Bill Paxton at his parent's abandoned farm at the end of A Simple Plan.

    Did you just turn a post about a sandwich into a political statement? Bravo, my friend.

  7. Andy...Heck yah I did. This whole scenario just reeks of the GOP. The Marketing campaign is misleading, the product looks nothing like what we're told it will be, the product is not in the best interets of the consumer, etc., etc., etc.

    Sound familiar???? Yes, I said it.
