KFC Double Down

OK, I do kind of get it, but it still baffles me some of the bad press this sandwich gets. I mean it's two pieces of fried chicken with stuff inside. Who hasn't eaten a couple of pieces of fried chicken before. I guarantee you I've thrown down at an all you can eat fish fry before and definitely put the calorie count and fat content of this thing to shame. Granted, if you are grabbing one for lunch every day, bad idea. But holy crap, if you are catholic, you probably consume twice this amount of bad in Fried fish on Fridays during lent.
I've got to pick one up, just to say I've given it a try. I wish Popeye's would do their version of this. Man their chicken is head and shoulders above KFC.

This will always remind me of this bit. One of Oswalds finest.

Logically, what you're saying makes perfect sense. I think it's just the fact that the "sandwich" is a total, unabashed affront to all things healthy. Like it doesn't even pretend to have health value by adding bread, potatoes, etc. It's not any worse for you than other fast foods, but it seems to take pride in not being any better, either.
I think it's the idea of substituting the bread of a sandwich with two pieces of fried chicken, that's a fatty fatty fat fat thing to do.
I totally agree, but Kentucky Fried Chicken used to be very good at one point. I don't know what happened, but it seems like they abandoned the original recipe that they had.
The Double Down is better than at least these 10 items from other resteraunts, half of which you'd probably think were "better" for you than the Double Down.

Just saw a commercial for this. Bunch of guys saying some funny stuff. One said my sister ate one and turned into a boy. Another said if a double down wanted to kiss my gf I'd let it.
I'd like to know what Dr. Pepper's 23 flavors are, though. How they can create spinoffs with Vanilla and Cherry is beyond me. I mean, are we to believe that there are 23 flavors in the original formula, but cherry and vanilla AREN'T among them? Please.
