KFC strikes again...

Remember the "Double Down?"

Well.....

Say hello to the Skinwich.

KFC is testing a new sandwich: The Skinwich.

5 layers of fried chicken skin, lumped on a bun and topped with white american cheese and bacon.

It's only available at a handful of KFCs (for now). One happened to be right near our office, so I walked over. Exclusive pics:

Verdict

Nasty. The richness of all that fatty seasoned skin is totally overwhelming. It’s also tongue-parchingly-salty.

I started to gag and got that “brushing the back of your tongue” feeling. Had to spit it out. In KFC’s defense, the sandwich was luke-warm after taking the pics. But I doubt it would be much better hot.

With this latest move and the Double Down‘s success, KFC may be catching up to Hardees/BK in the “making sandwiches so nauseating they generate buzz” dept.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Oops, I wasn't clear. I haven't tried it. That's a link from another site. I'll quote to fix.

But, I have no desire to eat one. No, I haven't had the double down. I'd have to double my morning doses of Altace and Lipitor for that.

Thank goodness.

I'm not a fan of chicken skin.

I'd totally try that.

The most suspicious part was the picture. No fast food sandwich is ever built that symmetrical, and it's never piled so high with meaty goodness. (Maybe i should say "skinny" goodness, but that would send the wrong message in this case.)
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

plus the plate is more "diner" looking.

I hope you (George) didn't actually think that could possibly have been anything BUT a hoax -- albeit funny.

The plate was irrelevant in that he said he got it "to go".

Is a chicken skin sandwich really that much more absurd than the double down?

Skin by itself is good.
Adding cheese and bun just ruins it.

how do you think i got through summer school? DOUBLE DOWNS BABY!!! salty as hell but tastes good grilled too. I don't understand why people think putting a chicken breast between to carb and fat-laden buns is healthier. bread is bad for you but most people still think it's healthy.
