have we talked about the new KFC double down sandwich? (w/ picture)

[backdoorchicken]

In the midst of a staggering obesity epidemic in the US, KFC has doubled down on a high-calorie menu choice. KFC is now offering a "sandwich" which consists of bacon, two kinds of cheeses and sauce between two pieces of fried chicken. That's right, fried chicken as a bun instead of bread.

discuss....​

1300 delicious calories...mmmmm.

i imagine thats how many calories are in my chicken fried steak dinners i make every weekend so i guess it wouldnt kill us to have some more!

Goodness....why?

 

[tampitt]

is this supposed to be one of those low-carb things because they leave off the bread. Seems like you should leave the bread in and take off about 1000 calories. But it does look good.

But if our figures hold true, and KFC won't confirm they don't, the Double Down is more caloriffic than the Wendy's Triple with Everything and Cheese (1700 mg sodium, 960 calories, 26 gms of fat), the Burger King Stacker Quad (1770 sodium, 1020 calories, 69 gms of fat), and compares closely to the fat, salt and calorie totals of three McDonalds Big Macs put together (3060 sodium, 1620 calories, 87 gms fat).

Hummm and KFC says................
Rick Maynard with KFC public relations contacted us to say KFC estimates the numbers from The Vancouver Sun are inaccurate. According to their estimates, although they have not done an official workup the Double Down contains the following nutritional information:


Calories: 590
Calories from fat: 280
Total fat: 31g
Saturated fat: 10g
Trans fat: 0g
Cholesterol: 190mg

personally, i think everyone should be on their knees thanking god that we can go and buy this sort of food, and even have access to it. there are so many countries where food and water are very hard to obtain and i am so glad that there isnt a shortage of either here.

I think if it was 2 grilled , skinless pieces with bacon and cheese, i'd eat it
