The greatest thing since sliced bread: unbread.
Throughout history, human evolution has been fueled by innovation and progress. Someone invents something. Then someone else takes it and makes it better. The Model T was great, but can you imagine driving one around today? Or how about using a computer the size of a blue whale? Seems silly, doesn’t it? Then how the heck have we remained stagnant with one of the most influential ideas ever? The sandwich.
Be honest – while snacking on a sub, haven’t you ever secretly felt the bread was just a doughy buffer, separating you from meaty goodness? I sure have. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw that on April 12, the geniuses at KFC are introducing the “Double Down.” It’s a bacon and cheese sandwich with – pause for dramatic effect – fried chicken patties as buns.
I think that deserves to be repeated. They take two slabs of meat, and found a way to cram more meat and cheese in between. No roll. No biscuit. No baguette. None of that rubbish. How come you didn’t think of that, John Montagu? You call yourself Earl of Sandwich. For shame. You could have saved us centuries of heartache (but not heartburn). Good thing Colonel Sanders is here to pick up your slack. He is the brains behind the Famous Mashed Potato Bowl, after all. Yum. And I hear he’s testing a soft drink cup made out of pure high-fructose corn syrup.
So mark Double Down Day on your calendars. It’s sure to leave a lasting mark on human history. Or at least your cholesterol level.
