I don't care about the arteries, I just think it looks disgusting.
The only things I like at KFC are the coleslaw and the biscuits so, no, probably not, because I just don't go to KFC.
… I do like the concept so maybe I'll make my own at home.
I've never actually tried KFC before, but I'm getting a sick urge just to try so I can have bragging rights of eating my entire day's worth of food in one go. They're not available here in Canada, though, so it's maybe for the best.
Closer to "GAAAAH" than to "yes, I'd try one."
I'd try one, but only if I were stranded in an airport by an ash cloud and it and a Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger were the only choices.
I had no interest, but the hysteria is so great, now I'll try one. ONE. UNO.
WV: (I swear) mankilen – KFC Double Down Sandwich.
As I have commented elsewhere, the fact that anybody even imagined this unholy abomination, let alone actually went and created it, is just further evidence that ours is a decadent society that seems bent on self-destruction. In other words, GAHHHH.
And yet, apparently Burger King makes a salad that's even worse.
Therefore, since it's better than salads and salads are good, it must be good. QE and D.
Someone who's by no means a food expert calculated that they're actually worth something like 1154 calories; each chicken breast is 360 by itself, the cheese another 300 or so, and the bacon 70. I don't know how accurate that is, but there you go.
