I’m OK with the KFC double down. I’m planning on eating one this week. I saw a commercial last night, and when I saw them eating it in a paper wrapper, it suddenly made sense to me as a viable lunch food. Genius marketing…

I'm conflicted because Gottlieb is telling me to "crush my hunger" at KFC in one commercial, then telling me to get in the best shape of my life with p90x in the next.

I'm excited for this lunch item. I just might have to grab one on the way home today.

this is the thing with no buns right, gtfooh. If I got it I would ask them to cut one of there biscuits and put it on there.

chicken doesn't have many calories without the skin. the double down is loaded with sodium though and therefore it throughly disgusts me as an anti-sodiumite.

You went through with that? Seems non-flavorful.

quite the opposite, sodium masks the true flavor of foods

quite the opposite, sodium masks the true flavor of foods. salt is incredibly bad for you. when you guys are dying from heart disease don't give me a call losers because i will be on the beach somewhere skiing down the mountain.

anyone who likes salt is nothing but a deer in human's skin.

true story: Whole family has very low sodium levels and the MD tells us to eat as much salt as possible

I've been real proud of myself for not eating fast food this year and getting into shape. That said, this double down seems too absurd to be true and I want it. I want it bad. Its just un-fracking-believable that this is what it has come to. I think we had a thread on it back in the day so I was prepared and about 5 seconds into the commercial, before they said what it was, my eyes got wide and I was like "Its here."

thats the beauty of chicken.

the Double Down is fracking delicious. genius idea. too expensive though.

KFC is redic expensive. not surprised.

bradleigh · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2010, 04:59:13 PM »

I had one today with a side of mac and cheese and it did not disappoint. I probably won’t eat another one, as I think if I were throwing nutritional caution to the wind I’d rather have a cheeseburger of some sort. But I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering it. Make sure and get the original recipe not grilled. You’re not getting a fair return of healthfulness on your investment of deliciousness.

I'm going to eat a double-down sandwiched in between two more double-downs
