Death By Chicken
My girl Bassey hipped me to this and I was rightfully horrified. Feel like committing suicide? KFC has the answer to how you should go out. DOUBLE DOWN on some chicken-y death!
From Indyposted:
How does KFC make sandwiches even better? They get rid of the pesky bread typically offered with sandwiches and instead they replace that bread with two pieces of chicken, that ladies and gentlemen is the “Double Down” the companies newest sandwich arriving April 12th.
The double down is simple, take a piece of fried or grilled chicken, throw some cheese in the middle and then throw another piece of fried or grilled chicken on top, then just wait 20 minutes and head to the emergency room.
Original recipe sandwiches will set you back 540 calories with 32g fat and 1380mg of sodium, while the grilled double down comes in at 460 calories, 23g fat and 1430mg of sodium.

Oh god, no. Is this serious???!!
What, Danielle? You don't wanna die of a heart attack at age 35? :-|
um, yum?
All we need now is a Dunkin Donuts collabo and it will be the "Lutha" Sandwich from the Boondocks!
That is disgusting.
I will personally abduct you for reprogramming if I ever catch that "thing" anywhere near your lips...
song currently stuck in my head: "morning scapes" - jazzanova feat. bembe segue
LMAO!
and
**sadness** folks are gonna be eatin' this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Talk about health care...
Man. It looks good tho... Is that pepperjack cheese, special sauce, AND bacon?!! Mmmmmm... ha!
and this is the reason for health care reform.
I still refuse to believe this is real. You need more people. Lol! Gawd, this is a HOTTTTTT mess.
I'm not proud to admit this, but after reading the article my first thought was "540 calories and less than 1400mg of sodium...that's not that bad." And now I think I have to try one... especially after reading this article with stuff that's wayyy worse.
I think I'll have this for lunch, a Dunkin Donuts waffle sandwich for breakfast...that is two maple syrup packed waffles with bacon and eggs in between....
hmmmm what could I have for dinner...some kinda of big burger, really big.
That's an all American diet.
It's made with chicken, pork and dairy-the holy trinity.
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death among women in the United States; more than 250,000 women die of heart attacks each year, compared to 40,000 women who die of breast cancer.
I repeat, more than 250,000 women die of heart attacks each year. Symptoms can include fatigue, shortness of breath, heartburn and tightness in the chest.

But for the carb conscious, its probably a good 50 grams of protein... lol
This is only as gross to me as all other fast food.
Things that are worse than the grilled double down (based on calories and fat):
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese
Wendy’s/McDonald’s Large French Fries
Wendy’s Chicken Club Sandwhich
BK Whopper
McDonald’s Bacon Egg Cheese Sandwhich
Milkshakes from everywhere
Basically if you want to live healthy – stay the heck away from fast food restaurants.
People need to focus on the sodium content in foods just as much as the calories. In the Double Down, there is 1380 mg of sodium. If someone is on a 2000 calorie diet, they are not suppose to exceed ingesting 2400 mg of sodium. So, peeps on that diet better not eat 2 Double Downs. But I think some people will eat two, or maybe a Double Down and something else really salty. Yikes! I am not fond of this sandwich. Too much salt.
WOW! That is a greasy death sandwich if ever there were one!
Although in theory, chicken, bacon and cheese sounds tasty! That said, this is too much!!!
OMG! That's just death in a convenient waxed paper wrapper. Even my fat butt knows that! I bet it will sell though...
I tried it (i know). All the publicity made me curious....It's not as bad as it seems, it was actually pretty good, but a little much for me. It's alot smaller too.
People are making a big deal about what is essentially 2 pieces of chicken an some bacon. It's just packaged differently, and marketed ingeniously. That said, I probably won't eat it again, since I don't frequent fast food restaurants.
