THE COLONEL IS TURNING OVER IN HIS GRAVE

OR … is he?  KFC recently unveiled a new concoction–the Double Down sandwich, available only in Rhode Island and Nebraska for now. Two fried chicken filets replace the bun, with cheese, bacon, and special sauce inside. If you can bear the shame of possibly being spotted trying this sandwich once it hits AZ, remind anyone who criticizes that this sandwich may actually be diet material for the American obese.

How’s that?

The Vancouver Sun reports that the Double Down clocks in at about 1228 calories, and that’s right in line with a bunch of stuff America is already eating:

Orange Peel Chicken at Pei Wei: 1,040 calories

Mexican Grilled Chicken Burrito at Chipotle:  1,179 calories

Classic Italian Sub at Quizno’s: 1,370 calories (86 g fat!  4,490 mg sodium!)

Stuffed French Toast Combo at IHOP: 1,476 calories

Moo’d Power Smoothie at Jamba Juice: Men’s Health says it has more sugar than two pints of Ben and Jerry’s Butter Pecan ice cream.”

So indulge Arizona, it’s good for you!
