The KFC Double Down

I wasn't going to blog about my experience eating the Double Down but I wrote a friend who is out of the States about it, and I liked what I wrote so much that I'm going to share. So here it is:

So I ate the Double Down on Wednesday. It was an experience, I got my friend Jeffrey to drive just in case I couldn't do anything after eating it. I got the meal and it came with fries and a Baja Blast. At first I just looked at it, it sitting there defiantly on my tray daring me to eat it. I couldn't believe it was really there and poked it a few times to be sure it was real, when I poked it juice leaked from the chicken. I pulled it out of its wrapper and held it in my hands, It's so intense you can't put it down after picking it up. The first bite was unbelievable, all you taste is chicken. Like an intense flavor of chicken, like if you were going to die and the last thing you wanted to taste was chicken this would be the thing you ate. but then you taste the bacon, then the cheeses of which there are three. Each bite after that slowly devolves from ecstasy into this overwhelming amalgamation of flavor which one can derive no pleasure from.  Once you reach the half way point each bite is it's own momentous chore, and the last bite is the hardest. I had the last bite in my hand and was ashamed that I had reached that point, but I was also taking some pride in my own fat-assness that I could finish the whole thing. Physically speaking I felt fine after eating the DD, I got really tired but it didn't make me sick...immediately anyway. The most surprising thing for me is how full I was from such a small sandwich, I'd eaten a full meal of Chinese food on monday (General Tso's, Fried Rice, 6 Crab Ragoon, and an egg roll), and the DD was more filling. I don't know that I would ever want to eat it again, but a challenge was made that I couldn't eat the Regular recipe DD and then a Grilled DD in one sitting and I might have to show that person who they're talking to. If anything eating it only removed the mystique and left me disappointed that I didn't actually die from eating the Double Down.
