People are retards who think bread is healthy and can't handle things that do something they consider "abnormal." Everyone lost their shit over the Double Down, claiming it has thousands of calories and is the least healthy food ever made, meanwhile it has fewer calories than other normal chicken sandwiches from other places like Wendy's. It had a BIT more cholesterol and a BIT more sodium, as you can see in pic related, but all that additional protein also makes it way more filling. Fast food places sell double, triple, and quadruple cheeseburgers but no one bats an eye at any of that. I guarantee if the Double Down was on a bun no one would have even flinched but people, again, are retards.

KFC tried it and then retards lost their minds because they don't know how to read nutrition labels and thought it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much less healthy than any other chicken sandwich.

It's the best item KFC has ever sold, in my opinion, and my favorite chicken sandwich from any fast food place. My time going to KFC started and ended with the introduction and removal of the Double Down. It's no less healthy than any other fast food chicken sandwich, so fuck people who panicked over it and forced KFC to take it away.

KFC Double Down is not as bad as people make it out to be. It's no worse than any other fast food chicken sandwich. People react to foods emotionally without actually reading the nutrition facts. Pic related is a side by side comparison of the KFC Double Down and Wendy's Asiago Chicken Club.
The Double Down has:
>80 fewer calories
>the same amount of fat (within 1g of each other)
>less cholesterol per patty (75mg per patty with bacon vs Wendy's 95mg in its patty with bacon)
>250mg more sodium (a difference of a pinch of salt)
>1/3rd of the carbs (because no bun)
>1g sugar instead of 9g sugar (again, no bun)
>1/3rd more protein (because 2 patties of chicken)

And yet, people fucking RIOTED over how UNHEALTHY the Double Down is to the point where KFC was forced to remove it from the menu entirely, while literally no one ever had a problem with Wendy's Asiago Chicken Club. Because no one actually thinks about food rationally, they just see TWO chicken patties and NO BUN?! HOW UNHEALTHY!!!! THAT MUST BE LIKE 1500 CALORIES!!!! But it's fucking not. I'm eternally butthurt about this because the Double Down was a really good sandwich and probably my favorite fast food chicken sandwich ever made, but KFC had to remove it because of people's emotional outrage and they never replaced it with anything remotely as good.
