Yep, this is real. Yep, this will be delicious. And yep, this was actually my AOL screen name in high school: dbldwn11. Coincidence? Yep.
The Consumerist- 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.
If this doesn't revive the economy in Detroit, I don't know what will. The most surprising part? It's ONLY 540 calories. I mean look at this thing. Is that nacho cheese? And bacon? Really? Someone looked at this "sandwich" made of two fried chicken breast and 3 types of cheese and thought, "You know what? I don't think its quite there yet. We need bacon." And the rest of the people agreed with him! Each one of these should come with a Bayer aspirin to save your life after the heart attack it gives you. You should be required by law to eat this thing in a wheel chair so that the paramedics don't have to bring in a crane to get you to the hospital.
I'm almost positive that the same guy who came up with the "Double Down" was working for McDonald's 5 years ago when he came up with the "McGriddle." Dude's a mass murderer. Put him in jail already.
