This is perhaps man's greatest achievement or evidence of our civilization's impending doom. Maybe it's both.
Meet the KFC "double down." Although no mention of it is made on KFC.com and we have never seen an ad for it ourselves, we are being lead to believe that it is real by Foodgeekery.com. They have crappy cell phone camera footage of a commercial (from Omaha, apparently) for the mysterious beast, as well as photographic evidence of it in the wild.
The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel's sauce. It apparently tastes like you think it would. An early-adopter explains:
That's it? That is the sandwich? That's not worth five dollars. Oh… oh my God. That is the best thing ever. I don't know what "Colonel's Sauce" is, but it is like a party in my mouth. This is completely worth the five dollars. Unfortunately I'm going to end up weighing 700 lbs after this, but it is simply amazing.

Mmmmmmmmm.
That said, it sounds delicious (and I'm not a pushover for chicken). Followed by some tums.

“Colonel Sauce” is more or less the same as ranch dressing. The unhealthy ingredient isn’t sugar. It’s oil and mono-sodium glutamate. It’s the same breaded chicken patty they put on their regular chicken fillet sandwich. You can get it grilled, if that’s an issue for you. KFC grilled chicken is low in fat, but it’s high in sodium and has MSG to boot.
Bread’s bad for you too. White starch turns right to sugar...not approved.
And with all the ghetto hospitality that makes us famous: "What do you want?" "Pull forward."
They missed the boat.
Shoulda used SPAM.
It’s almost like they’re taking notes from Thisiswhyyourefat.com.
Awesome.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
I’M CRYING BIG FAT HAPPY TEARS OF MAN JOY !!
You’ll take 2 what, bypass surgeries?
LOL. Looks like a schematic of the Starship Enterprise.
Try whole grain or sprouted bread. No such concerns there.
(You can tell I live in CA).
I'm surprised.
It looks like it would be a lot lower carb than a regular sandwich. If they used grilled chicken, it would be fantasticly low carb.
Chicken as bread beats the Back yard burger lettuce as wrap concept. Back yard burger’s low carb rendition leaks all over the place.
Your body can make proteins and fats using sugar.

Thus I find the “no carbs” people as silly as the “no fat” people. Cotton candy is a fat free food! Bacon is carb free! Depending upon your diet is one good and the other bad? Or is excess of either probably not a good idea?
I think the plan is to hit the drive thru @ KFC and have a cooler full of suds in the back of your pickup. Makes for a slow afternoon at work afterwards though.....
Yup. Why wait years for your heart attack...have one today!!
