Anyone try the double down yet?

I feel like it's a giant metaphor for America so it's my patriotic duty to eat one eventually.

 

A little too salty, but good.

 

Should it strike me that I haven't gotten my fair share of clogged arteries I'll dive into one. I think the name suggests that if you eat two you'll be down... I'd guess for awhile.

 

I actually joked about that the other night, someone is going to go into a KFC and go:

"hmmmm, can I have seven double downs"
"Sorry sir, I'm not allowed to sell that to you"
"Well why the hell not, what does it matter what I eat"
"FDA regulations sir only permit the sale of three double downs per customer"
"Isn't that rule completely asinine in the fact I can just have someone else order them for me or leave and come back later?"
"Sir everything the FDA does is asinine"

 

Yeah- kinda... but more like:

"hmmmm, can I have seven double downs"
"Okay sir, but would you mind signing this waiver?"
"Waiv..."
(interrupting)"Please, just sign the waiver, there are people waiting"
"What's this waiver for?"
(exasperated sigh)"It's just a formality for single purchases of more than three of these"
"What???"
"Oh, and please provide proof of health insurance"

 

when i figure i can afford to pony up the $7 and change for a sammich, then i'll buy one.

but i can make the same thing at home for much cheaper

 

Yeah... Usually I just eat a bunch of fish, but I didn't pack lunch that day, and my co-workers were going to KFC Thursday. They all got the double down, and I thought 'fuck it, you only live once.'

It was greasy soggy chicken with bacon and too much cheese sandwiched between it.

It tasted like a few strippers I now avoid.

 

They should do a fish version of the double down and put a ton of tartar sauce on it. And serve it with a bucket of melted butter to dip it all in.

What's the deal with tartar sauce? Restaurants literally bury the fish in a mound of that stuff. They should serve it in a bucket or something if you don't want that stuff on your dinner.

And a tall, chilled cup of fryolator oil and your farts will smell like french fries.

 

Red Lobster. Now there's a grease-laden restaurant. Every item on their commercials is deep-fried. All the people on the commercials dip the deep-fried stuff into a tub of melted butter.

I don't know if I've ever seen a lobster advertised by them. It's shrimp just about all the time. Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp, shrimp.

They should change the name of their restaurant.

KFC's double down slogan, "One Double Down, and you'll double over."

 

those clever mother fuckers

 

Here's the vertical orientation of the sandwich.

The rest of you RTers out there can use your imagination.

What's the sandwiches' sexual orientation?

Also, will not eat.

 

I feel like I should at least try it. You know, at least one bite of one someone else bought.

Looking at it does make me needs some tums though.

 

Anyone looking to off themselves should consider "Suicide-by-Restaurant"

It just looks gross. Too much meat and grease for one meal.

 

Looking into it the double down actually isn't that bad compared to most things, the concept is just utterly ridiculous.

 

Which is what makes it a marketing slam-dunk here in the states.

 

may i quote this in my sig? :coffee: first huge grin of the day.
