They really are just trying to get customers to the point where they walk up to the counter and pay to have a feedbag of mashed everything strapped over their head.

I got two of these and in a few days I may end up getting a third. How fun is that?

Enjoy your meal. Seriously. Life is short and sweet, and this meal will make it even more so.

Don't forget an after-meal Marlboro.

Why don't they just shiat in a bowl and save their customers the hassle of digesting?

Something that just occurred to me. On Fark, everything is better with bacon.

Unless it comes from KFC.

I couldn't help think after seeing KFC's commercial, that some young buck in marketing came up with the idea of adding bacon, because bacon has it's own Internet meme.

They're hip, they're cool, they're with it.

They could really save on packaging if they just dumped piles of food into a trough. You pay by the minute.

The 'hidden track' at the end of his latest album addressing how 'this is the joke that got away from him' is hilarious. Also, MEGA-LEG.

Meh, Hardees showed the way. Look the fast food buying public really does not give a shiat about how much they weigh, how many calories are in the food, or what it does to their body. All they care about is that their is a lot of food and does it taste good to them.

What amazes me is just how much salt that takes. Whenever I eat at any of the major fast food chains, I put on 5-6 pounds in the following 24 hours just from all the water I start retaining.

I was at a LJS/KFC combo place for lunch yesterday. They gave me a sample of one of those to try. I spit it out. Just awful. That and trying to explain to the person behind the counter who was pontificating on the KFC history - NO - it was not invented in Corbin, KY. That was his eatery. It was actually invented in Shelbyville, KY in a house where the Col. was living in the lower level while waiting for the people to move out. And it was John Y who made the place a real going concern. And the chicken sucks in comparison to Popeyes.

What else are they going to do with the left overs from the previous week, throw it away?

Don't you know that the pharma companies that make heart related meds are the secret parent companies of of KFC, Mc D's and such?

It's a huge return on investment.
 
2011-10-18 01:21:05 PM
I would eat that. What's not to love?

I would also eat at the heart attack grill.

As long as you don't have it 3 times a day every day, you'll probably be just fine.

I never really understood the horror at the Double Down. I mean, all it was was two pieces of chicken, some bacon and some cheese. How is that any worse than ordering a bucket and eating (probably more than) two pieces of chicken and a small amount of a side dish?

Not defending this thing though. That thing sounds foul.

Except jellied eels, which are fair game as they are the only food I know of that I expect could look considerably less unappetising after being vomited out than they were when first served on the original plate.

I actually like LJS chicken better than KFC. Plus you get yummy yummy "crunchies".

2011-10-18 01:24:49 PM
Everybody in here its fast food or processed food more than a few times a month, so I fail to see any reason to deny this looking delicious.
 
2011-10-18 01:24:55 PM
Technically, this is the prequel to the Double-Down. Sprinkling some bacon crumbles on top of it doesn't make it new.
 
2011-10-18 01:25:15 PM
The Doubledown is/was gross. How you fark up a chicken patty, bacon and cheese is beyond me. Never had drier chicken in my life, and the bacon was hard and chewy instead of crisp. Figuring it was old or whatever I tried a second one a month or two later, same thing. Bah.

/don't eat fastfood every day, you'll be alright

That was why I was there - KFC sucks IMHO, LJS has a great chicken strip with their coating.
And the crunchies are awesome :)

I'd still eat that culinary abortion-in-a-bowl before I'd eat most of the pub grub you guys make. This may be a random assortment of miscellaneous foods thrown into a slop bucket, but at least the contents are actually discernibly food.

FTFA's Comments:

Let me just put this out into the world: I do not like bacon. I do not like that every sandwich at every restaurant now includes bacon. I do not think that bacon should be on a salad, ever. I do not like how bacon smells and I do not like how bacon tastes and I do not like it in the rain and I do not like it on a train. Why is everyone so obsessed with bacon? How does anyone prefer that to a french fry, or really any carb? Why would you want to soil your delicious KFC "chicken" (or even more so their completely disgustingly amazing mashed potatoes) with the overpowering taste of deep fried fatty pork? The taste overpowers everything, and if you're going to eat those mashed potatoes, which I believe to be essentially whipped butter, shouldn't you at least be able to taste them so that it's worth the caloric intake? I'm trying not to use caps lock but this has me very worked up.
I guess what I'm saying is this is one of those things I just really don't understand and it frustrates me. Enough with the bacon.

Also KFC is really impressively gross, and I might go get some mashed potatoes there tomorrow.


I'm sorry, but if you think that KFC's fried chicken and mashed potatoes are awesome then you lose any credibility to critique the taste of any meal or ingredient. if it doesn't appeal to you fine, ask them to leave it off. On the other hand if you want fried chicken that tastes like salt dissolved in to week-old grease without any hint of chicken left or absolutely tasteless mashed potatoes with a texture closely resembling that of wallpaper paste maybe you shouldn't ever comment about anyone else's choice in food....ever again.

Okay this doesnt sound all that great. But I do a similar thing on the rare occasion we get a KFC Craving. I take their Mac and Cheese and cover it with gravy tear apart a couple pieces of chicken and throw that on top of the Gravy macand cheese pile. Then serve that with their cole slaw on the side. Trust me it sounds bad but its OMG Amazing! Then I sleep because for whatever reason it makes you tired as hell...

Honestly, it's not all that far-fetched at some level, and I wouldn't even hold it against them. Other industries do all they can to increase demand - why not these guys? It's not like people don't know that eating a farkton of obscene fast food is terrible for you. They're making an informed decision - eat like hell now, the taxpayer picks up the tab for the medical bills later.

BigNumber12: Time to invest in cardiac surgical supply manufacturers.

As a (soon-to-be ex-) employee of a cardiac surgical supply manufacturer, this is good news.... for my ESPP.

I actually saw the commerical for this during House last night, right after the patient had a heart attack, and thought "Really?"

And this is why America will win the zombie apocalypse.

Our zombies won't be able to move without their rascals and the survivors will be able to go months before they need to start foraging for food.

That and we have lots of guns.
 
2011-10-18 01:28:25 PM
Meh, it looks like it might be good. Don't really get the disgust some seem to have at the stuff not being separate. No different than a rice bowl at an Asian place. Mashed potato works great as a bed for other food.

You're wrong. No, it does not taste like your farmer grandmother's fried chicken. But that shiat is tasty nonetheless.
