Why was the KFC Double Down so controversial?
>>21986992Unnecessary decadence.
Same reason the baconator got so much shit when Wendy's debuted it.
>>21986993>mfw i see a chicken sandwich without a bun
>>21986997Literally didn't happen.
>>21986992I never knew it was controversial. Binged these bad boys when they were available and I regret nothing.
>>21987002All I ever saw was some vegan tards on Tumblr reee about it, and even there it ended with them getting clowned on for being tards.
>>21987002>>21987008The Double Down was absolutely controversial. It even gained the nickname "Heart Attack on a Plate"https://www.foodrepublic.com/2105796/kfc-sandwich-nutrition-double-down/>>21986997>>21987001The Baconator actually did have a controversy, but it was about it not meeting expecations.
>>21986999Checked
>>21986999chick to the left of commie guy THICC
>>21987094Hello African-American
>>21986992I forgot these existed and my day has been made worse now that I'm aware I live in a world without themthe last time KFC had chicken and sauce that actually tasted alright
>>21986992from memory it came out (2011) in my country (australia) at a time when every other fast food joint was trying to pretend to be healthy, in particular McFat which were pushing fruit with happy meals and salads as an alternative to fries. KFC did what they do best and the MSM ran with it >OH EM GEEEE LE DUBBLE DOWN IS LE SO EBIN BAD 4 U
>>21987361Additionally it was the first really agressively 'American' food item to come out as well. I remember when the heart attack grill opened in 05 or whenever it was it made the news here. we watched in amazement and awe that such a thing was conceived. It is when we learned that Americans do really. Nowadays this type of food and drink is everywhere.
>>21986992I didn't like it because how the fuck were you supposed to hold it? I don't want to hold greasy fried chicken directly in my hands when I'm eating, they should have put it on a bun.
>>21987362The Heart Attack Grill is basically a theme park. There's only one location and it's in fucking Vegas, it's not like it's somewhere people normally actually eat at.
>>21987362>wenah just obsessed foreigners did
>>21986992it was?
>>21986992Honestly it looks like a good meal. Just needs some sauce.
>>21986992It represented the decline of man. The type of foodstuff that makes you go "this is what we see ourselves as" and feel shame as a species.
>>21986999I like the confused stare girl and the guy on his phone who didn't know this was a face-covered event
>>21986992the controversy was the only reason i bought one. It was good advertising.It was pretty good to
>>21986999>these are the niggas you will need to rely on in a civil wargrim
>>21987559>niggasgrim
>>21987417>>21987419It's honestly really funny how everyone outside of (North) America (primarily euros and euro-adjacents) will see novelty food items and assume that it's a staple of the American diet.But if you joke about stuff like pea water on bread they'll put out an entire seething diatribe in response.
>>21987013The original Double Down had 610 calories which is close to a big mac (510) and fewer than the double quarter pounder with cheese (740). I think that the aesthetics of the double down made people uncomfortable despite being pretty close in nutrition as most fast food.
>>21986992it was controversial because the news said it was controversial. it's no worse than eating a couple pieces from a bucket or getting some boneless strips
>>21987724>>21987958Exactly. The news made a big stink of it because it came out during a health craze and it LOOKED extra unhealthy.
>>21986992it was a salt explosion, like more than a days worth.
>>21986992If KFC brought this back I would unironically go there again. Everything else they have on the menu is garbage.
>>21988110They did bring it back and you didn't eat it, liar.
>>21987604I can sense that you were violently shaking as you typed this which causes a bit of mirth
>>21988110KFC has been utter shit since they remove the snackers.
>>21988120I got it 4 times in the month they brought it back a while ago. it wasn't as good because they replaced the special chicken flavor sauce with plain mayo.
>>21987361But it is. It's breaded and deep fried chicken breasts with cheese and mayo sauce and bacon.It's not like it was "outlawed" or anything. You don't get to be upset that people rightfully called it out for being about American excess just for the sake of it. And NEVER write "ebin" or "le" ever again, you cringe fucking faggot. It makes YOU look gay, not these nonexistent reactionaries you're pretending to spoof.
>>21986999I could fuck up all them easily
>>21986992Thin people were jealous that fat people get to eat it because they didn't care about their appearance/health.
