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.

LOL!
Don’t go to KFC very often, but on those rare occasions, I feel like ordering a wagon full of their chicken livers ( the only chicken livers like, btw...)

Ah, yes, why use breaded chicken when you can use FRESH turkey breast slices.
Just had a variation on that one. Two gluten free waffle sectors, one with blackberry preserves, the other with lingon berry preserves, filled with hot ham.
Ummmm, ummmm, ummmm!

Whoa! I thought my intention was obviously “light” and good natured!
Try a Lutherburger and relax!

They’d be pitching a fit if KFC marketed it.

Yep, Luther Burger was the orginal many years back. Now it seems many are onboard with their version. The Atlanta Braves now own the rights to the name ‘Luther Burger’...

That was for something different. That was the coupon Oprah was pimping.

Over in Corbin, KY, they tried to force the secret out of the Colonel’s statue when they stole it, but it was a waste of time. Probably stuffed it with those chicken livers...
