The new KFC Double Down sandwich is real and it's coming April 12th! This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel's Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun!

mods... as far as i can tell.. this is a real announcement, and not an April Fools Day joke. Please do not lock this.

Im tempted to think this is an April fools joke, but I think I heard about this from somewhere else before.

Are there going to be any Asian people in it?

 

[joesmoke]

jesus... i dont hate them for getting rid of the bun but could they at least throw lettuce and a tomato on it? Does it really need bacon if its already got 2 pieces of fried chicken?

 

[lxskllr]

It looks kind of good. Chicken, cheese, and bacon. How could it possibly go wrong?

 

[Tristicus]

Without the cheese...yum!

 

[ahenkel]

god I'm a fat ass. I'd shove that down my gullet. They do need to change the name of Colonel's sauce though.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Yeah, if they put lettuce and tomato on it that could be a real winner.

 

[Anonemous]

Damn they closed all the nearby KFCs...

While your concern is valid, I'd rather they first disclose from which orifice the "colonel's sauce" is collected?

you live in the ghetto?

:hmm:

 

[OCGuy]

I'd love Col.'s sauce all over my face.

 

[v0id]

Needs gravy.

 

[eldorado99]

Did they turn into medicinal marijuana stores?

 

[nakedfrog]

They test-marketed that here last year. I never got around to trying it.

:hmm:

If he lived in the ghetto, there'd be nothing but KFC's and check cashing places.

 

[duragezic]

That actually sounds good. Chicken, cheese, and bacon is all win.

Now I'm hungry for KFC.
