Double Down!!

[daveB from Oakland]

Someone called the show about this atrocious food item while it was still in "test marketing" phase:

... and now it's getting more of a nationwide rollout. I think? Actually, I'm not sure how widespread the Double Down is at this point. Any sightings?

Patton O identified KFC as the supreme kings of Abject Loser Food ... and rather than running away from what Patton said, they seem to be embracing it.

What do people have against bread?

That picture gave me heartburn.  Not figuratively, either.

[DoodleJump!]

It just made me not want to eat anything at all. So maybe it's one of those reverse-mind effect things?

[AaronC]

I'm reminded of this 30 Rock episode.

That picture gave me heartburn.  Not figuratively, either.

Yeah. I don't mean to be all dainty and all, but that is really gross looking. And that's only the gussied up food-porn photo version. I'm sure the sad-sack reality version is gross and depressing.

[Sarah]

The thing is, if it were homemade, with decent ingredients, it would probably taste delicious.  But it would still give me heartburn.

[Christina]

Well, it doesn't look like a cat's ass, it's definitely something like the advertisting pic, but it's still disgusting:

[buffcoat]

What, exactly, are you doubling down on?

[iAmBaronVonTito]

That picture gave me heartburn.  Not figuratively, either.

yup.

[Pidgeon]

I don't think it's physically possible for me to eat that as a sandwich.

[Bernard]

I will gladly try that "sandwich" (I guess it's a sandwich; does a sandwich have to have bread?) and report back.  By all admissions, I have a weakness for fast food "novelty" foods.  There's no way in hell I'm touching that shrimp taco thing though.
