I couldn’t resist.
… two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce. …
It’s as disgustingly delicious as it looks!
… the sodium content is high — a whopping 1,380 milligrams — more than a half-teaspoon’s worth of salt. For comparison’s sake, the American Heart Association recommends people eat less than 1,500 mg of sodium in an entire day.
Considering the rising consciousness on healthy eating — from rules that will require calorie counts on menus nationwide to Jamie Oliver teaching kids in West Virginia to make better food choices — it was pretty gutsy of KFC to market a product that sandwiches bacon and mayo-based sauce between two pieces of fried chicken.
Still, KFC’s new creation might surprise you a little on the nutritional front. At 540 calories, the Double Down, though not exactly a dieting food, is 90 calories lighter than McDonald’s Premium Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich. …
UPDATE – Is it really 540 calories? Or more like 1190 calories? (via JAO)
This crime against humanity will not be sold in Canada. America’s rank as the most obese major nation is safe, for now.
And just in case Wendy’s wants to challenge, KFC has this “sandwich” in the lab …

Those sandwiches look sooooo disgusting. I can’t decide which pictures are more offensive. These or the ones with the nasty steroid acne.

Don’t know who is right, but it’s an interesting dispute.
1180 calories seems a lot more realistic.
I updated the original post.
