Finally, the order was ready and I went to get it, once I got it, I immediately got to eating the double down, when I took it out of the wrapper, These 3 things crossed my eyes.
1) Bacon. Why was there bacon in a KFC sandwich? Why? I am not the most observant person in the world and I could definitely not have seen the bacon if I only looked for 2 seconds, which is what I did. But still, there had to have been BIG glowing text that said:
“CAUTION: BACON!”
Alas, there was no warning and I was stuck with the bacon in between the 2 pieces of chicken. But it wasn’t that bad because I could just pluck it off if I hated it that bad but that couldn’t happen with the next thing I noticed:
2) The cheese wasn’t melted and it wasn’t just not melted, it was cold. But the heat of the 2 chickens had melted some of the cheese but the outside was still cold making it very much dreadful.
3) The sauce was… sweet? I am pretty sure it was ranch but, who puts ranch on a sandwich?
All of these led to a rather discomforting meal. All of these led to the double down being the most depressing meal I have ever eaten. All of these led to the reason I will try to avoid KFC the best I can. All of these reasons are probably why no one says “I like KFC” and mean it.
The sandwich wan’t too bad though.
The KFC menu item “double down” is a failure in every aspect that you can look at. The next few paragraphs will tell you the tale of me ordering this Adam Sandler of a sandwich.
I was hungry and so was my mom, we decided to stop at the nearby KFC, I mean what can possibly go wrong with that? Well as I will show you soon enough, everything. She told me to go order something while she stayed in the car. While walking to the building I saw, on the drive-through menu, the double down. I almost immediately was hit by a wave of nostalgia as I remembered how good this used to be before, for some probably ludicrous reason, it was not in the menu anymore. That was more than 4 years ago. So obviously, I had to order it!
I went inside the building and saw that in the menu, it wasn’t there! It was only in the drive through menu! How will anyone find the double down if it’s not in the in-store menu! I asked the guy at the counter if it was actually there and he answered yes, so I ordered one and 2 spicy chicken sandwiches and a Pepsi, the only reason you would find me in public with Pepsi is because there was no Coca-Cola to be found, I would never drink that ripoff unless I was offered 100 dollars or above or it was for my life. Alas, ripoff Coca-Cola is better than no Coca-Cola, so I drank the Pepsi as I waited for my meal.
While waiting for my meal I noticed that there were barely any people in the KFC, it really has fell off lately, and not just it’s popularity.
