They don’t even look appealing and being KFC only makes it worse. i wouldn’t eat one drunk and I have eaten a lot of nasty things when drunk.
Stoned I would probably eat 10.
Pretty sure the Double Down came out at least a year ago…
I had one when I was hungover one day, and wasn’t really impressed. It was messy to eat and I missed bread on my sandwich.
It just became available in Canada. (Where OP lives.)
Not very big, tastes kinda nasty, basically a chicken cordon bleu without the tenderness of the chicken or the deliciousness of the sauce.
It’s still not as bad as Burger King’s Enormous Omelet sandwich, which I see is no longer on their menu. That thing had about 2000 calories in it.
I’m vegetarian but if I wasn’t I would totally try it, and I’m guessing I’d like it. In a paralell universe somewhere, this is my favourite food.
Why the fuck wouldn’t I try it? I’ll try every kind of food at least once.
Me too. It doesn’t offend me to the point of cursing (or uhm…saying “Jesus F. Murphy!”) but if someone offered me one for free I’d probably give it a try. I just don’t see myself seeking out a KFC from which to purchase one.
I don’t care for cheese with chicken so I probably wouldn’t like this. I love me some KFC but it always gives me a stomach ache.
So no, I am not interested.
The same amount of calories (540) as a Big Mac, buddy (and the grilled one is 480). And fewer than a lot of other McDonald’s sandwiches. The Angus Mushroom & Swiss, for example, has 770 calories. McDonald’s Premium Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich is even higher in calories–630–than the fried Double Down. Fewer calories than a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle (560) or a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel (560). And this one may or may not blow your mind: more calories than a McFlurry with Oreo Cookies or a Chocolate McCafe Shake 12 oz, (both 580). More than a Medium (16 oz) Caramel Frappe (550)!
I’m not saying this is health food, but it’s not as bad as you think.
It’s really, really, really salty.
And really, if they had put it on a bun (adding another 300-400 calories) and called it a “Double Chicken Sandwich” no one would have blinked an eye about it. Compared to other fast food choices, it’s no big deal. It just gives the appearance of being OMG Arteries!
You know what only has 400 calories? Half a stick of butter. Yet I’d still be pretty grossed out if someone suggested I eat that for lunch.
Voted option #1 although I’m not sure it’ll be tastier than my local pizzeria’s bacon cheeseburgers,of which I always dispense with the bun anyway.
Editing just to gross out Giraffe. I sometimes have a few bites of butter by itself for breakfast. Yummm!
I’ve had one, and it isn’t the hate crime against human health that everyone has been making it out to be. Frankly, we’ve had something like this for a long time-- it’s called a chicken cordon bleu, and no one gets up in arms about gas stations or supermarkets selling theirs (which are probably loaded with preservatives on top of everything else.)
I’ve been meaning to try the chicken cordon bleu at the Shell station, but I always end up getting the Beef Wellington instead.
Seriously, what?
I voted undecided. I can’t see myself going in and ordering one but I could see myself sharing one with a couple of people who were also curious.
Sorry. I just don’t see what’s so terrible about it. You make it out to be disgusting, unhealthy, worse than white bread, yaddayaddayadda, when, overall, it’s not any worse than the same junk food in its class. In fact, it’s better than a lot of junk food in its class.
I don’t care if other people eat it, it just grosses me out. But a lot of fast food grosses me out, so it’s not just this.
I have no qualm with that. I haven’t had one myself yet, but I am curious because, well, like I said, I’ll eat anything once. Still, I feel a need to defend it, because people decry it as some sort of ungodly awful calorie bomb when, in perspective, it’s actually not all that bad.
I refuse to eat it until they stick it between two Krispie Kreme donuts and deep fry the whole mess.
