So I woke up this morning and I was debating whether or not to get the new sandwich from Kentucky Fried Chicken. In case you have missed what that heart attack inducing sandwich is, here is what the Double Down is…instead of using bread they use two pieces of either friend or grilled chicken and stuff it with 4 slices of cheese, two pieces of bacon and their special sauce. When I saw the Double Down my stomach went yum and my heart went dumb dumb. So since my body had such conflicting thoughts, I have seriously been wondering what to do. Well yesterday on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon he did the pros and cons of ordering the Double Down and thanks to him I have made my decision…the belly wins and the heart loses! Hopefully the heart won’t choose to get revenge on me for eating it.
BTW here is my question to KFC, I understand they are offering a healthy alternative by offering up grilled chicken instead of fried but with that sandwich does it really matter? I mean if you are going to eat that cholesterol rising sandwich why not go all the way and get it fried? I mean at that rate is it really worth saving yourself from the 80 extra calories and 9 grams of fat?
Finally has anyone tried the Double Down and how freaking delicious was it???
UPDATE: Here is Stephen Colbert eating the Double Down on Comedy Central show Colbert Nation, he reinforced my decision to get it!
Burger King wants to murder the competition in the late night business so they are using horror icons to sell us on it. Geek Tyrant spoke with the advertising agency that came up with these bloody brilliant ads, and this is why they did it “Thomas and Kris came up with the following campaign showing the villains of the night that we know all to well, enjoying their favourite meal after a umm night out. The ads were shot in South Africa and Dubai by French photographer Ben Dauchez and retouched by Thomas himself. A job well done! The series comprises of four ads which will run in press and outdoor.” I freaking love these ads because I love all of those horror movies and Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th, Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and Chucky from Child’s Play! Hopefully Burger King will order some more ads because we are missing Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Michael Myers from Halloween, Pinhead from Hellraiser and Jigsaw from Saw. Seriously don’t the ads look gorgeous? They really did a great job with the way they photographed and re-touched them.
BTW I think Burger King should’ve used the Burger King King in these advertisements because I have had more nightmares due to him than all of those horror legends put together. He is the creepiest one of them all!
Before we got to know him as the neurotic balding George Costanza on Seinfeld, he was singing and dancing with hair for McDonald’s McDLT!!! How different was the then 26 year old actor in 1985 as compared to the characters we go to know and live him as. Next time he is doing a stage musical, I am so going to make the effort to go and see it because he really does have a crapload of talent!!!
BTW so sad that the McDLT lasted longer than his hair!
SOW note: As you can tell I am trying to start a new post called Before They Were Famous! I think it is a lot of fun to see celebs before we knew them doing commercials, music videos, TV guest appearances, game show contestants, Soap Operas or bit parts in movies! I am trying my best to find as many of these on my own, but I need your help!!! So if you see them or know of any, can you please E-Mail me at [email protected]!!! I hope they are as fun for you as they are for me!!!
Before Ben Affleck did such great movies like Gigli and Pearl Harbor, and won an Oscar, the only Good Will Hunting he did was for a Burger King commercial! 17 year old Ben Affleck looks the same but younger in that 1989 commercial. I wonder if Jennifer Garner made him go on Burger King runs like that when she was pregnant with Violet and Serafina?

How adorable was little Sarah Michelle Gellar for Burger King! Before she staked Vampires, she preferred her burgers flame broiled! Unbelievable, how precious she was!
