Is Pablo Sandoval Working For KFC Now?

With opening day for the SF Giants up the road at 24 Willie Mays Plaza, Fred Couples killing it at the Masters, and the Sharks bid for the top seed in the west, there are plenty of sports related items that I could discuss. However, those will be put on the back-burner so that I can speak about my current man-crush.

The topic dujour for this beautiful TGIF......The new KFC Double Down. Somewhere the creator of the Atkins diet is weeping in a meat locker. I don't know where to start with this, except to say, "Really?" Part of me wants to hate this idea, but the other part of me wants to indulge in a Double Down after a few pitchers of beer at Rookies Sports Bar.

Hey I love fried chicken, and I LOVE bacon. Plus, cheese and I go way back, but just when did this become necessary. When will Krispy Kreme create a sandwich, with a cookie between two

freshly made glazed doughnuts.

With all of that being said, when will my local KFC start serving these little slices of heaven? While I am sure that many in the Bay Area are appalled by this creation, I am equally as sure that in the deep fried loving South, there are currently 20 person lines at the KFC inside Wal-Marts.

In researching this topic, I came across a fantastic quote from a KFC spokesperson.... “The product is going to appeal to people who are looking for an indulgent sandwich like some of the other sandwiches served at fast-food restaurants,” said KFC spokesman Rick Maynard.

I wish company spokespersons would just be honest, "We are capitalizing on the the fact that America is the most obese country in the world. We believe the key demographic for the Double Down will be 18-24 year old males, under the influence of something, especially between the hours of 10PM and 2AM."
