KFC occupies the Philippines with Double Down Dog
Amid a region that has long been marked by instability, roiling upsets, and suffering, KFC has found the perfect place to deploy its Double Down Dog, its latest arm of a worldwide effort to replace all things with fried chickenincluding, eventually, arms. That plot thickened and congealed over the fall, when KFC took its now-somehow-referred-to-as-traditional Double Down sandwich and added a bacon cheeseburger inside it. Now the race has accelerated considerably by KFC nestling a hot dog deep within a greasy, waiting bun, in a sentence that would be more appetizing were it actually a sexual euphemism.
Instead, the only obfuscating language here is that the bun is really a folded-up slab of fried chicken, wrapped around a tube of intestinal meat cheerfully referred to as a hot dog, and slathered in a neon-yellow slurry that is satirically referred to as cheese. Together they form the Double Down Dog, so named after the yoga position that involves putting your palms on the ground, then slowly distending your colon.

(9,126 posts)Dude, it's fried chicken! One of the most delicious creations to come out of this country. Just make some good fried chicken and people will eat it! Sheesh. I've gotten marriage proposals (and unmentionables) when people taste my fried chicken. Leave the fried chicken alone!

It is like they're satirizing themselves. Though I wouldn't say they stopped trying, it would take somebody twisted to become creative enough to come up with that shit.

(29,414 posts)it doesn't surprise me.
What does surprise me is that it isn't in a massive portion fit for three people. Maybe I'm just used to regular restaurants that cater to the "I have to have food left over to take home or I'm not getting my money's worth!!1!" crowd...
