KFC Tests Sandwich That Uses… Chicken.. In Place Of Bread

by Erika Nicole Kendall

You know, I’m usually pretty ugly about fast food restaurants. Limiting my allowance of fast food in my life was a gigantic part of my ability to combat my weight.. mainly because fast food companies are thoroughly uninterested in your health.

Without going into my full on rant about these companies, I’ll put it like this: Their job is to sell you what they think will help them fatten their wallets. It doesn’t matter whether it fattens your tushy. No one is looking out for your health and well-being because that is our responsibility as the individual and owner of our bodies. As long as you continue to purchase what they put out there, they’re going to keep pumping it out for you to buy.

Having said that, allow me to introduce… the Double Down. Yes. This sandwich, as the newscaster says, includes two fried chicken fillets, bacon, cheese, and Colonel’s Secret Sauce. Those two fried chicken fillets? Serve as the bun. Yes. You won’t find bread on this sandwich. That’s what the chicken is for… duh.

    OH COME ON! This (referring to the sandwich) is just so damn ridiculous. Coronary on a Bun!

    I banned my loved ones from ordering this when it came out. So far they’ve all listened to me and stayed away.

A few rules for posting, friends:

  • If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
  • If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
  • Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
  • Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
  • Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
  • Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
  • Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I protect our community. Everyone appreciates this until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail to complain. I already know you're mad.)
