KFC Double Down in Canada - A [funny] food review.

*EDIT* 

Why hello again. First, I'd like to bring everyone's attentiont to my title. You should keep the words "funny" and "review" in mind. In other words, this is my way of making this looooong post more interesting and fun to read through, especially if you hate reading. And hey, the review part should be quite obvious...personal opinion. Oh and by the way, if the veeeery last picture doesn't give away the point of my post, let me tell it to you straight:
Double down = small + expensive + not as tasty as the flyer makes it look (power of deceiving ads)
And guess what? Tasty = San's idea of tasty, and ONLY San's idea of tasty. Okay, you can enjoy my article now =)



I never thought I'd do food reviews, it was never really my thing. This might actually be the first and last food review I ever do o.O. Anyway, I just HAD to write about the Double Down. I felt that it is my duty to inform fellow Canadians about this...I don't know what to call it.

What is a KFC Double Down?

Well, basically it's this new temporary item added to the Kentucky Fried Chicken menu in Canada. Basically it's two slices of their chicken acting as the "bun" part of a burger, and the filling consists of cheese and bacon. Heart attack, no?

Taken from KFC.com

Well, when I saw the KFC Double down commercials on T.V. I sorta knew I had to try it. It just looked so...interesting. YES it's fast food which is fattening and bad for us, but hey, it's not like I eat this day in and day out. I CAN DEAL WITH A FEW EXTRA CALORIES. For one day at least.

So I made a deal with my stomach, where I stop myself from trying this until after my last mid term/assignment is done with, because I get a sore throat when I eat too much fried food. The day of my last mid term came, and I begged my mom to buy it home for me for lunch.

Here I am, sitting in front of the takeout KFC box. It smells of KFC yummmmmm. "Ah San, it costs $6.99 for that thing." OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS. I just stared at my mom after she said that. Apparently the combo is $8 or $8.99. Holy shiz, this thing better taste like heaven.

So I open the box and my jaw completely dropped to the ground. The size of the top (and bottom) slice of chicken is the size of my palm, if not EVER SO SLIGHTLY bigger. WHAT THE EFF?! And I thought McDonald's was a rip off. Sheesh!

Tadaaaa.

About the same size as an onigiri I bought from supermarket...and the onigiri was 2 for $2.50!

I grabbed the knife to cut the Double Down in half. I laughed as I pictured my brother's horrified reaction to this thing. We were suppose to share one, because he said I'd never finish one huge Double Down. Hahaha...
Here's how this thing looks after I cut it in half.

Half of Double Down = 2 McNuggets + cheese + bacon bits

How does it taste?

You know what, I can't even tell you how long it took me to eat half of it. IT. IS. SO. DAMN. SALTY. I think something went wrong with the bacon stage, because the chicken tastes fine (surprisingly, it was not salty compared to usual KFC chicken) and the cheese tasted fine too I think, but the bacon grease sort of fused into the melty cheese, so I don't know if the cheese was actually salty on its own or not. Anywayyyyyy.
For every bite I took, I drank half a cup of water. And I'm telling you now, I usually don't drink much liquid when I eat. The saltiness and greasiness of the Double Down is just outrageous to me. Compared to this, the Big Mac is like, eating a salad or something. Now, keep in mind this is how it FELT like to me, so for all you critics out there, I don't know (or care) about which one is actually healthier.

Had to put the flyer with it. For the effect.

My verdict?

I'm glad I tried it. It completely wiped out any other fast food cravings I have. But I have only one message to all Canadians out there: DON'T EAT THIS THING. Let those cravings pass over you. Seriously. If you really want to try two chickens and some cheese/bacon, make your own, damnit! Unless you really want to of course, but don't say I haven't warned you...x____x


That's all for this review. Look forward to a post next time on a sexy gyaru inspired FOTD, which I am obviously too exhausted to post today, after taking like 50+ pictures for it lol.

See you~

New blog!

Okay so I couldn't wait. I mean, I was sitting in front of my laptop in an empty classroom at 7:30am. And class starts at 8:30 by the way -_-" What else can I do besides adding the finishing touches to the new FC2 blog?

Soo, here is aDDiction.! Like I said before, it's a blog dedicated to our growing statues collection. In other words, it's a place for nerdy nerds =D


Oh and since I hate plain written posts, here's the sneak preview picture of my Psylocke comiquette over on the other blog..

WHERE DID WE GO?!

Hello, helloooo.

It's been a long two weeks since we've updated, and you can probably guess why. I've just finished my last mid term today while Pearlie is still suffering through a couple more lab reports/assignments she has to do. School sucks -_-" But anyway, that explains where we went....but what have we been up to? Well...here's what happened to me for the past few weeks, and what to expect me to blog about (excluding school related stuff)...

-MY BIRTHDAY. >>nothing special really, but I do have some pictures to share (spent a day with my girlfriends ;) and of course mister D!!)

-my birthday presents!! >>I didn't get much besides money, but I do have a couple items to share with you~

-PSYLOCKE COMIQUETTE!! >>she has arrived! Lots of pretty pictures to come on this statue.

-announcement on a new blog! >>yeees, mister D and I are making a blog dedicated to our collectibles, but we haven't finalized anything yet, though I can tell you now it'll be an FC2 blog (love their cute layouts ^^)

-CARNAGE COMIQUETTE...coming soon >>he's ALMOST HERE. More like...this Wednesday! Pictures pictures pictures ^^

-food review! >>look forward to an "interesting" food review from me...heheheh. HEHEHEHEH.

So that's a general idea of what to look forward to from me in the next little while, and I'll try to update more regularly since my next big assignment and exams aren't coming up just yet. Ooooh yes one final exciting piece of news (for me at least), I've discovered an interesting place where I can download A LOT of paid android apps for my phone for free...WAHAHAHA. So I'm currently playing around with that =D.

In case you forgot this is San and Pearlie =)

Okay back to messing around with my phone. Ciao~

Happy SAN Day!

Woohoooo....it's San's birthday today, which means she's finally as old as me! Ahaha but what difference does this make if you ask? Hmmmm....there's really not much a difference because we don't really act like our age to begin with..LOL ;D

Anyways, I know San had a midterm test today so I hope she did well on it but after that she's done school for the week...what a lucky bum ><" cause I still have school for the rest of the week T-T.

(Please ignore how bad my writing looks on this and my attempt to draw "a red bow" LOL :P)

Well, I've got nothing much to say here now but "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR ♥!"

---pearlie

Slow days

Back to school. Tomorrow. ARGHHH. Okay back to studying.

Meow meow

Snap of the Day #12

It's reading week this week for me and San xD...but that doesn't mean we have all the free time we want because we are both going crazy with completing school work and studying for midterms T-T.

Anyways, I haven't done one of these photo post in a while so here I am...hahaha! Hmm....so the weather has been really annoying the last few days, its rather warm in the morning/afternoon but freezing cold by nighttime ><"....however, this doesn't stop me from eating my "favourite" soft serve ice cream in a waffle cone ;)

Doesn't it look yummy? :)

AHAHAHA...close up! :D

"Contact Us" update

So here's another post that you can just skim and forget about because it's not important but I just felt the need to tell you and blah blah blah.

In the contact us section, I removed the link to my formspring because I forgot the password AND login, so it really is quite useless now XD OOPSIES. And, I let everyone know that my dailybooth is pretty dead lately because no one I know seems to use that thing anyway, so no point putting important updates in my life up there...soooo if you want to see random pictures I post whenever I remember to log in there, by all means go visit me on dailybooth. HOWEVER, if you seriously want to talk to me or am interested in ME ME ME AND ME, then the.red.bow and my facebook will have the most recent updates. Lalala okay that's all, time to shut up~
