Update on previous rumours of disgusting American food creations - the Double Down is real!The Consumerist reports on the abomination that is 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.
For reference, an average male is recommended to have a daily intake of 2500 calories, 70g of fat and 2300mg of sodium. Therefore eating just one of these horrible beasts of the fast food world gives you 1/5th your calories, twice your fat and over half your sodium for one day.
not to mention the questionable contents (and origin) of the chicken patties themselves...
ReplyDeletedoes it come in hot n spicy? if so, that's some damn good eatin'! (and psst 32g is half not twice the fat intake)
