Chicken Mayhem
Now, I like
to think I like my meat, somewhat more than many people, perhaps more than I
should. Certainly more than is healthy if I didn't have a wonderful, adoring
wife who thinks a 20 ounce Porterhouse is enough to feed a family gathering of
twelve and not, as I may have contended in the past, the perfect size for an
appetizer. So when KFC announced their latest brain storm, some might have
assumed that I'd be leading the parade in celebration and downing a few of
these monstrosities on the side.
They would
be wrong.
The new KFC
Double Down Chicken Sandwich does however, answer the question, "What Could You
Come Up With That Would Be Even More Disgusting Than The KFC Famous Bowl?" Wow,
I didn't know till I looked it up for the link that there was more than one
type of bowl extant. Now I feel all unclean and need to go and eat a double
portion of greens.
You know, I
have to doff my hat (and I am wearing one right now, it's my Writing Pith
Helmet - everyone should have one, it also comes with a pair of goggles, just
because) to the Honchos at KFC. I have this mental image that they are much
like the upper echelon at the fictional company, Veridian Dynamics of Better
Off Ted (an awesome and underappreciated show, btw). One gets the impression
that Veridian and KFC's executives know they're evil but it's all good because
they have reserved parking spaces, hefty bonuses, and they don't actually use
the products that their respective companies market, so they're likely to live
to a ripe old age to enjoy their generous pensions. Unlike their customers.
Really,
bacon, cheese, and special sauce between two fried chicken fillets? Why not a
pork chop too? No wait, I have it - stuff the chicken fillets with onion rings!
I figure there is an upside in all this - enough people eat these things and
the chances of surviving to old age and sucking up my Medicare are slim to none
Who needs 'death panels' when you can buy these things?
