All these talking about 2 or 3 different chains only for fried chicken fast food... Ahh, the envy.

A guy I work with got one today on a dare.



I took that picture

As of the last update (about half an hour ago) his stomach still hurts, and he never wants to eat again.
 
I got one today too.

It didn't make my stomach hurt, but I wasn't a big fan of whatever secret sauce the put in there with the cheese.
 
according to KFC.com, the thing isn't really so terrible. 540 calories. But it does have half your daily salt and fat RDA.

One of them filled me up..i couldn't imagine eating this as a combo-meal with the potato wedges.

It's just a big, sinister protein-fest. I can't eat fried chicken if I plan on getting anything done. It makes me feel like something big and sleepy... like a Mastiff or Snorlax.
 
My friends and I were talking about getting a bunch of these for the MST3k night tonight. We were also planning on watching The Blood Waters of Dr. Z. I'm a bit worried that between the two, there could be an issue. So, I just want everyone to know that I love you and to play "Murder in the City" by the Avett Brothers at my funeral.

I tried it. It was ok. It wasn't "gross" by any stretch, and it wasn't even all that messy to eat. I'm not much on the cheese sauce but the bacon was good. I think it would have been better with dark meat instead of breast.
 
Double Down combo purchased. It was DEE-LISH-USS. The secret sauce mentioned is also the same sauce used by Zaxby's for THEIR chicken foodstuffs. Full of win.

Wouldn't want to have more than one every couple weeks at MOST, tho.
 
As I was taking my shower, my cat sat in my chair. Now it's warm :3

Hahahaha! I thought this was the minor victories thread... oh well. It works!
 
I got one on Monday. It was good. And so thoughtful of Den to offer to call 911 in advance for me. :D

I *thought* I could go with the grilled version next time as a "healthier" alternative. Um, no.

Code:
                                        cal    fat    sodium
KFC Original Recipe® Double Down  	540  	32  	1380
KFC Grilled Double Down 	        460     23 	1430
The once in a blue moon theory is helped by the only KFC in town being way on the other side of town from me. :p

The single, double, and tripple baconator from Wendy's BLOWS that away in poor nutrition.
AND
it tastes just like a shitty cheeseburger.

You know, this thing is actually far better for you than a Whopper or Big Mac.

Like I posted earlier, even a single, plain whopper without cheese is worse than the double down. It's almost fucking healthfood compared to most fast food burgers.
 
It doesn't look appetizing. I'd probably try one, but I very rarely go to KFC. I also like Popeye's the best. Spicy chicken and red beans and rice!

Everybody always says "it looks gross." Pictures of the real actual food product ALWAYS look gross. It's different in person.

Personally, I'd rather just have the two pieces of boneless chicken.

^That's what I keep thinking! Why does the chicken have to be bread for something? I'd rather just have a piece of chicken.

Cause you know what's better than a piece of chicken? TWO pieces of chicken. And you know what's better than two pieces of chicken? Two peices of chicken with BACON between them.

You know what's better than two pieces of chicken with BACON between them? Two pieces of chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, a side of coleslaw, and cornbread. You know, the way fried chicken is supposed to be.
