So that's what they did with the buns: KFC gives two kinds of bread to Food Bank of South Jersey
All our years, we never thought a fast-food menu item would be able to afflict a nation with a case of hang-wringing existential strife. That was, of course, before KFC introduced the Double Down "sandwich," which swaps out a bun for two chicken patties. It's gross, yes — but it's also nothing more than a protein-heavy, attention-commanding gimmick, and branding it as some sort of bacon-laden Tool of Lucifer does nothing more than bolster its already-formidable notoriety. There are far too many writeups accusing the thing of being evil incarnate to even begin linking here, which leads us to our point: If y'all really wanted to protest the implementation of the Double Down, you wouldn't have bought it — better yet, you wouldn't have high-horse blogged about it 9 million times over. Plus, come on — The Wendy's Baconator?! The Baconator is so much more badass bad for you. KFC, apparently, is looking to neutralize its local detractors/unwitting supporters by making some charitable donations. The chain, riding high on all this feigned first-world outrage, has announced that they're giving more than 3,000 buns — the ones they "didn't use" in the Double Down production process, snickersnicker — and a monetary donation, to the Food Bank of South Jersey, right across the bridge in Pennsauken.
