The Double Down Sandwich, contains two strips of bacon, two slices of cheese, and sauce ensconced between two chicken breasts, instead of the traditional bun. But before you become the head spokesperson for healthy living and condemn this sandwich, this heart attack-inducing burger's "nutrition" is comparable to many other burgers in the market.
The Double Down contains 540 calories and 32 grams of fat, healthier than the Whopper from Burger King, boasting a calorie count 670 calories and 39 grams of fat. It is also similar to the Big Mac, containing 540 calories and 29 grams of fat. But the Double Down contains 1,310 mg of sodium, almost half the maximum required daily intake of the average person. So the sandwich would give you a stroke before you clog your arteries.
KFC also admits that this sandwich is not a healthy choice, claiming it as an indulgence food, not a replacement item.
The lines at KFC on the first day of release probably will not be as chaotic as the lines at the Apple store on the first day of a release filled with hypnotized tools of marketing, but be prepared to wait a few minutes in line, most likely surpassing the average Toonie Tuesday line.
Will I try it? Probably, but only half a burger, because I don't really like the taste of chicken, but I definitely have to try one. KFC claims it will be temporary, but if it is as successful as it is in the US, don't be surprised if the Double Down becomes a staple in the KFC menu.
