Is KFC Trying to Kill Us?

[Gothgar]

I had a fried chicken sandwich with Krispy Creme doughnuts as the buns, it was awesome

Rhode Island and Nebraska? Wha? Is this some sort of state-themed "small and sparse" roll-out, as in the nutrition vs. calorie calculus is both small and sparse?

I can't speak for Rhode Island, but I figured it was because we're fat and slow-witted here in Nebraska.

i find it funny there's some outrage over this, when a bacon ultimate cheeseburger from jack in the box has something like 1300 calories and 90+ grams of fat.

people have too much time on their hands to rage over stupid shit.

Rhode island is pretty much the cesspool of the northeast. It's makes NE look like mailbu, as far as I can tell, although I haven't been any closer to NE than chicago and the texas panhandle.

one "sandwich" adds up to well over a one thousand calories, close to what medical experts consider more than half the recommended total daily calorie intake

What the hell does, "close to more than half of" mean? Who writes like that? Sounds to me like it means, "less than half", but my way is much less alarming to people who don't know how to parse English.

I ate close to more than 3 piece of toast for breakfast.

bacon cheese pizza burger!

Oh my..that looks good.

Since when is it a conspiracy that low-level customer service phone reps don't know all about limited promotions that are happening in small areas? Sheesh. The poor guy on the phone is being paid $10/hour to forward complaints and answer nutrition questions by reading off a chart; are you really surprised that he doesn't know every last intimate detail of a limited-time promotional being test-marketed in friggin' Rhode Island?

anywhere from less than half to half is my guess.

No. The correct answer is the recommended daily value is twice as high as it needs to be for the sandwich.

With all that breading, that thing would even be bad for an Atkins diet.

But, hey... I work for one of KFC's equipment suppliers. I hope that this thing takes off like Grilled Chicken did... Anything that gets them more money gets ME more money!

Just stop standing outside the restaurant looking in with your face pressed against the glass with an evil grin on your face, and we'll be good.

You just noticed fast food was unhealthy?

 

[Tempered81]

Why don't they just make a chicken sandwich with a delicious fried chicken breast between two friend chicken breast buns?

In retrospect, how many pieces of fried chicken have we eaten in one sitting when the mood overtook us?

I imagine it was more than two.

There was a local pizza place (that has since closed down ) that used to make a kinda Italian sub sandwich out of two pieces of pizza dough, not the actual dough+sauce+cheese+meat. It was good.

 

[SP33Demon]

Yes.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

ugh, blog rants ftl.

yes it's a conspiracy to peddle this to minorities since they CLEARLY eat alot of fast food. :disgust:
