Heart Attack on a Plate - KFC's latest offering

[doubleohfive]

Kentucky Fried Chicken is at it again, this time testing a new "sandwich" at select locations. What do you get with it (apart from the eventual diarrhea you'll get from eating it)? Keep reading:

"5 layers of fried chicken skin, lumped on a bun and topped with white american cheese and bacon."

Excuse me while I wretch.

Is it really so hard to come up with fast food that's, you know, even mildly nutritious anymore?

 

[Kestra]

Yummmmm.

I'm sorry until I see something official...I am not buying it. Plus they already have a sandwich http://www.kfc.com/doubledown/ that is as bad as this "latest offering" sounds.

I also worked at KFC and you would be surprised...or maybe not by how many people just wanted "skins".

-By the way they don't put sandwiches in those clam shell boxes...why I think it is fake.

 

[highlyillogical]

Wow I totally agree. I can't see how people actually pay to put that stuff in their bodies.

IT'S A FAKE!!!

I figured as much.

Although I'm sure plenty of people would want to try it for real.

Actually I like Kentucky Fried Chicken. Especially the extra-crispy. And fried chicken skin IS delicious -- when you eat it ALONG WITH THE CHICKEN!

If people wanted to try it all they have to do is buy a bucket of chicken, take the skins off, put it on a bun with cheese & bacon.

Of course. It seemed such a stupid idea, I figured it had to be an internet hoax.

BTW, who's the gorgeous redheaded babe in your avatar?

EDIT: Oh, is that Rita Hayworth? Didn't recognize her for some reason.

These people need to do their homework before doing hoaxes like this...sandwiches go on paper not in clam shell boxes.

Rita Hayworth.

I seem to recall Cartman once got in major trouble on South Park for eating all the skins off the KFC... and his friends thought up a suitably hilarious dire punishment.

Rita Hayworth.

You have excellent taste in women, my friend.

 

[Jetfire]

^ You have excellent taste in women, my friend.

I love her...own most of her movies.

About KFC...if people don't like it...don't eat there...I certainly don't...I've had my fill of KFC over the years and got tired...I worked there on and off from 16 and I am 32 now.

When I eat chicken now I prepare it myself at home...I don't like fast food too much these days anyway.

I'll believe this when The Onion picks it up.

[Homer Simpson]Mmmmm . . . .fried chicken skin with onions . . . . [/Homer Simpson]

Whether or hoax or not most of what is on KFC's menu is a heart attack waiting to happen.

 

[BolianAuthor]

Personally, I love this... I've had it, and it's hella yummy...

Joey did it on Friends once. "I'm only eating the skin, but the chicken's up for grabs"

Most of the time I leave the big pieces of breaded skin till the end, so I can enjoy it.

 

[SPOCKED]

A hoax??? Crap...

oh well, theres no law that says I can't make one at home

You'd think so, but you'd just be repeating popular opinion. Look up the spec sheet on that one, it's shockingly not that bad. Something like 540 calories. Not great, for sure, but way lower than you'd think, and better for you than most fast food burgers...

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Hoax or not ... KFC just doesn't interest me. It's been around 18 months since I brought any. But all that fat doesn't look appealling to me.

It looks worse than it is for sure...but fast food burgers remain king in fat and calories.
