Fallen Heroes



As a child, one of the best moments in cartoon watching came when all the characters teamed up for an episode about not doing drugs. Ninja Turtles, Garfield and Friends, He-Man and She-Ra, GI Joe- all working together was never a bad episode.

Now look at this fucking thing.

My favorite foods, my heroes, joined together in a much hyped mega-sandwich. How could fried chicken, bacon and cheese be such a let down? I mean, look at it. LOOK AT IT! Slimy, glued on breading; flaccid, pepperless pepperjack cheese; "two" dead strips of bacon. Those assholes couldn't even deliver the promised amount of bacon. BROKEN PROMISES!! It's clearly one strip ripped in half. (Harkening back to the KFC Snacker, where they couldn't give you one crispy strip. Yep, just one ripped in half, which is why I imagine they try to sell them in pairs).

As for the flavor, I was expecting crispy, greasy, salty, and creamy melty cheese. It was two chicken breasts stuffed and surrounded by flavorless mush. (The "Colonel Sauce" was okay, whatever it is). One unforeseen obstacle in eating this thing- chewing. Prepare to chew long and hard. My suggestion? Make your own. KFC Double down receives one star ripped in half out of two stars.
