I couldn't find a previous thread on KFC, but reports of their new sandwich, the Double Down, nearly made me lose my breakfast:

"KFC is now offering a "sandwich" which consists of bacon, two kinds of cheeses and sauce between two pieces of fried chicken. That's right, fried chicken as a bun instead of bread." :huh:

Points for creativity, I guess. Who's up for a lunch outing when this thing shows up? :rolleyes:

Here is a link with a picture of this monstrosity. Bonus points for the title "KFC's Double Down Cuts Out the Bun and the Dignity" :rolleyes:

Turn on your speakers (low volume). I wonder if these dancers realize how ridiculous they look, and also if they'll look back one day and understand that they're the Marlboro Men of this generation.

I love how their current slogan is "Unthink." They mean it as in, "Unthink what you thought about KFC" (in reference to their new grilled products). To me, "Unthink" connotes something completely different in this context.

When I first saw a picture of this thing I got a good laugh. I honestly thought it was a joke.

Let's be honest, if any number of acclaimed chefs here locally or nation-wide had come up with this idea, we'd be hailing them as visionary heroes.

Are you kidding? They'll proudly put it on their "reels" and on their resumes. Performers will do pretty much anything if there is national exposure and a paycheck involved. And they can keep their clothes on.
