KFC's Bacon Sandwich On Fried Chicken "Bread" Starts Killing People Nationwide April 12

Last August, we wrote about 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.

If they had not battered the chicken breast it would be perfect for a low carb diet!

Should also be big around the blackjack tables, but they’ll probably outlaw it in Vegas along with the card counters.

Gee, I’m sure glad The CONSUMERIST is looking out for all the simpletons and mouth-breathers. WhatEVER would we do without his kind?

Where on earth did that picture come from?

I haven’t seen INVICTUS, but, hey, has South African rugby has evolved into this?

If KFC wasn’t so stupidly overpriced I’d try one.
There will be buy-one-get-one-free coupons for them.

That makes KFC just overpriced, as opposed to outrageously overpriced.

Exactly.
I don’t eat fast food, but I will defend till the death (ok, not really to the death—but I will raise a lot of heck about it) your right to eat crap.

Someone is apt to lose their shirt in LV with that kind of marketing!
