I know I'm a little late on bringing up this whole KFC Double Down topic, seeing as how it's been creating quite the buzz since its April 12 debut. This is mostly because every time I even think about the sandwich – strips of bacon, cheese and sauce sitting between two pieces of fried chicken – I can just feel my arteries clogging on the spot.
But I do want to bring up one thing that has me scratching my head. According to KFC's website, the Original Recipe Double Down has only 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 mg of sodium. I don't mean to make it sound like that's not an astronomical amount (because it is – especially the sodium), but if that's true, you're telling me that it is more "nutritious" than, say, Burger King's Tendercrisp Garden Salad (which has 670 calories, 45 grams of fat and 1,740 mg of sodium)?? I find that hard to believe.
