Aug 22 2009Chicken Buns: KFC's New WTF Sandwich

KFC just released a new sandwich called the Double Down that features bacon and cheese IN BETWEEN TWO CHICKEN FILLET BUNS. Because, seriously, bread is just filler anyways. A recent review:
That's it? That is the sandwich? That's not worth five dollars. Oh... oh my God. That is the best thing ever. I don't know what "Colonel's Sauce" is, but it is like a party in my mouth. This is completely worth the five dollars. Unfortunately I'm going to end up weighing 700 lbs after this, but it is simply amazing.
Wow, I kind of absolutely don't want to try that. But I will tell you a chicken joke I came up with last night.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To nug-get to the other side. HIYO! I should do stand up.
Hit the jump for an actual product shot and a commercial.

KFC Has A Bacon Sandwich That Uses Fried Chicken As "Bread" [consumerist]
Thanks to Dave and Joeigglypuff, who don't eat fast food because they like to savor the flavor.

That is seriously not right. The sandwich or the previous comments. Both are not right.

GW is quite the comedian, I read the joke 5 minutes ago and I'm still pissing and laughing my head off

I once ate a sandwich that was bacon and cheese between two live chickens.
First thing I did was bite their heads off. Hey, lots of you woulda done the same, this is GEEKologie, right?

I once ate a sandwich that was bacon and cheese... WRAPPED IN BACON AND CHEESE.
And then I had a heart attack. But it was the most delicious heart attack EVER!

I'm a girl and a big time meat lover (no pun intended)
anyway I'm all for the meat, but this just doesn't look appetizing
10. Sidewalk Kid - August 22, 2009 4:47 PM
I agree with #9
I love meat, but this is just nasty.
It doesn't even look good at all.
11. Robot - August 22, 2009 5:05 PM
umm I used to work at a KFC. So I no longer find anything there to look really appetizing and neither would you. This is by far the grossest thing I've seen yet.
12. SmokingGirl - August 22, 2009 5:07 PM
What does gender have to do with eating/liking meat? I didn't realize that as a woman, I could surprise the masses by stating that I like meat.
But I don't like just meat by itself, no no, I also like meat if it's in a sammich, albet not this sammich, but still. *gasp* That'll have you lot jabbering for days I'm sure.

"taste the unhealthy side" would be a much more ingenious marketing line. it would allow the fatties to order guilt free and unite. and be funny for me.
14. Checo - August 22, 2009 5:20 PM
lawl i'm hungry, i think i'm going to try one of thoes xD

He clearly stated in his post that he's a loser XD
And seriously. Most of us have had more first posts than you've had women.
By the way. 80% of geekologie readers have had 0 first posts...
Good luck with that.
16. blp - August 22, 2009 5:26 PM
Chicken fillet instead of bread, wish I'd though of it. I want it now!
17. jaja - August 22, 2009 5:27 PM
@ Iris. Lol.
@ Smokinggirl. I want to penetrate your anus.
@16 GTFO
18. SmokingGirl - August 22, 2009 5:40 PM
Jaja, make sure and use plenty of lube and leave as soon as your done. I have things to do today...
19. SmokingGirl - August 22, 2009 5:41 PM

Dammit. I blame this disgusting sammich.

Really? Come on now KFC! Really?
22. Daisy - August 22, 2009 7:01 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
this is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was playing blackjack, and the dealer said "winner Winner chicken dinner".
23. G - August 22, 2009 7:38 PM
What? No way... I saw this a couple days ago on "this is why you're fat" and assumed it was something someone had made themselves from several sandwiches' worth of stuff. Nooooo...
24. cd - August 22, 2009 7:42 PM
This is the kind of post that is sending geekologie down the drain.
DO SOME WORK GW!!! ffs

One time I went to this place called "Grease Trucks" outside Rutgers University in New Jersey. They were champions of the health food industry. They even have a Wikipedia entry. I think I had something along the lines of a chicken cutlet, some bacon, and melted cheese with honey dijon and Greek white sauce in a hoagie roll.
34. Nookie - August 23, 2009 12:19 PM
Ha, HA, HA..that sounds disgusting. I love reading what you say "I kind of absolutely don't want to try that"
35. Lizzard - August 23, 2009 3:47 PM
Well I just went to KFC looking for this, they had no idea what it was and apparently they don't have bacon either. Has anyone confirmed?
36. lilchic315 - August 23, 2009 5:11 PM
Its kinda obvious what colonials special sauce is ...(if you get what i am thinking ) lol. so there for i don't think i want that sandwich ,XD
37. kate - August 23, 2009 5:49 PM
i know how the workers of kfc operate, i seriously recommend that not only do you never eat this, but never eat kfc again. there's not just the colonels special sauce in there if you smell what im steppin in.
38. Melonie - August 23, 2009 10:43 PM
Wow. This ranks a 10 on the vomitron. Gross.
39. Jaycob - August 24, 2009 2:47 AM
wth is wrong with you people this is a revolutionary sandwich i mean come on you people don't seem to realize how important food is its right up there with sex video games and god and this sandwich is like all 3 made into some kind of divine entertainment orgasm... but i DOO get a lil liberal with the marijuana but that doesn't give you the right to get a sandich discontinued cause you have little girly belly's unable to handle... scratch that UNWORTHY to handle a MAN's meal like this. ill bet you say "Ewww steak" too

@20 It's a bacon post. it pertains to bacon.

A good meal during the recession!
47. Colleen - August 25, 2009 8:39 PM
OMG this sandwich looks AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to try it. I don't know why everyone is freaking out about a "meat" bun. People consume wayyy too many carbs by eating burgers or chicken sandwiches with a bread bun. This way, you take out most of the carbs and add a bunch of protein. I'm a low-carb dieting addict, and I'm so happy to see another product on the market without a stupid useless bun! Another great one is the Carl's Junior Low Carb burger wrapped in lettuce. But wow, I'm about to drool looking at the pics of this sandwich. I'll be having it for lunch tomorrow!
48. Tim - August 26, 2009 12:57 AM
This sandwich looks so damn good, I just had to do more research. The sandwich is currently only being test marketed in Rhode Island and Nebraska. I for one went to kfc.com and posted a comment demanding national release. I suggest you all do the same.
49. B - August 26, 2009 7:01 PM
and this my friends is the reason half the children in my city are HUUUUUUGGGEEEEEE....
i've always wondered what they'd look like rolling down a hill all at once :D
50. madison - August 27, 2009 8:22 AM
thats definitely a sickening burger. i think im gonna go bloated and sick after eating that
