No matter what it is it could never be as bad as the Lutherburger or the Bacon Explosion...

Reads TFA...

Amateurs. Hardee's has them beat with ease.

TehNacho		2010-04-04 12:06:25 AM

Other than the bacon, sounds like an interesting sandwich.

A thin beef patty would be better.

NeedleGuy		2010-04-04 12:08:55 AM

KFC has never been the same after being bought out by Yum Brands.

Please. This is nothing compared to the meat crust pizza at Home Run Inn. Slab of sausage instead of the bread, essentially, with the usual sauce and cheese and toppings. They even had the gall to call it "low carb".

lobootomy		2010-04-04 12:23:38 AM

Oh sweet Jesus, I got an erection in spite of myself.

I know I shouldn't eat that, but I'll probably be waiting in line on April 12 just to get one.

That's disgusting.

Eating out is so bad for you. I prefer to stay in and make my famous bacon egg bratwurst cheeseburgers.

I'll have a failure pile in a sadness bowl.

Burn_The_Plows		2010-04-04 01:30:44 AM

Why would someone ruin a few perfectly tasty pieces of bacon with fowl?

TheOnion		2010-04-04 01:34:36 AM

Double down = 540 calories
Big mac = 540 calories

That doesn't make it good for you, but it's surprisingly not far worse, and comparable to other common items. Unless the calorie count is wrong. I'm frankly shocked it's not a lot more caloric.

Kevin5280		2010-04-04 01:34:37 AM

I'd be willing to try it if any portion of the "sandwich" was soaked in rich creamery butter.

Dalar		2010-04-04 01:34:50 AM

Well, maybe liberals have nothing to worry about in Teabaggers -- most will be dead by 2012 from heart attacks.

I don't know if it's my age, or the fact that I've stopped drinking (knock on wood), but I don't find ANY fast food appealing any more. I see commercials for fast food on TV and start feeling queasy. The picture of that abomination in the article literally gave me the heebie-jeebies.

Britney Spear's Speculum		2010-04-04 04:14:55 AM

I've seen commercials for this since august. Were there places in the states that didn't carry it?

King Something		2010-04-04 04:17:06 AM

Meh, I'll stick with the Baconator.

lobootomy		2010-04-04 04:30:57 AM

Britney Spear's Speculum: I've seen commercials for this since august. Were there places in the states that didn't carry it?

Yeah, they roll it out in a few regions before it goes nationwide. It's why the "McRib" is most often seen in the South. McDonald's hasn't offered the McRib in the west since forever.

Sun God		2010-04-04 04:37:20 AM

Chicken Cordon Bleu is delicious.

I saw McRib for sale last year at a McDonalds at a rest-stop in California (I5)

The doubledown?

I'd rather call it the Bukbuk Bac-cheese.

You guys get really excited when they take last months box of lard and dough, add a few different preservative and colour codes and then rename it, hey?

BalugaJoe		2010-04-04 07:38:57 AM

Does it come with a double bypass?

MissDementia		2010-04-04 07:56:57 AM

BalugaJoe: Does it come with a double bypass?

Bypasses are for sissies. I think a side of gravy to dip it in would be better.

Just because you expect so many liberals to be dead by 2012, doesn't mean the few remaining liberals shouldn't be worried about not having someone to support them.

FueledByEthanol		2010-04-04 07:58:27 AM

I's eat it... 3 of those is still less calories than a Monster Burger from Hardee's, right?

I've been looking for a good way to say "fark you" to my body. I think we have a winner!

Madbassist1		2010-04-04 08:05:23 AM

looks like it needs more bacon.

MAYORBOB		2010-04-04 08:05:39 AM

Why bother with the non-necessity of chicken or bacon flavor? Go straight to the source and let it go straight to the hips.

lajimi		2010-04-04 08:08:24 AM

Well, it looked kind of good in a novelty food sort of way until, upon closer examination, I noticed it includes "Colonel's Sauce" on the sandwich. Why do these fast food joints ALWAYS have to destroy perfectly good food by slathering it with their signature glop?

They should have sent.... a poet...

Dialectic		2010-04-04 08:12:42 AM

The sandwich will be available in two forms. The Original Recipe sandwich will set you back about 540 calories, 32g of fat and 1380mg of sodium. The not-as-bad-for-you Grilled Double Down totals 460 calories, 23g of fat and 1430mg of sodium.

It would be a good thing if they treated that greasy fat the same way they perceive smoking, you know stamping warning labels on it!

A king size double chicken nugget sandwich and bacon!
You joshing me, or did I die and go to HEAVEN.

Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo		2010-04-04 08:17:56 AM

The 1400 mgs of sodium is the really nasty part. We eat about 3x more salt than we should.

mbillips		2010-04-04 08:18:08 AM

This is probably healthier than most fast food, since it's the sugary carbs in the bread that do more damage to you than the fat and cholesterol. Substitute ham for the bacon and it's just chicken cordon bleu for lazy people.

icam		2010-04-04 08:22:01 AM

I don't doubt it could taste good, but not coming from KFC.

Anyways, it makes me think of this: Link (new window)

Normally, I don't even crack a smile at anything the Onion puts out, but goddamnit..That one was actually funny.

I like how the "not as bad for you" version has more sodium. I guess they have to add more sodium to hide how terrible it would taste without the fat.

Also, both of those amounts of sodium make me want to vomit in my mouth.

Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfarker. Pigs sleep and root in shiat. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
