KFC finally brings 'most successful sandwich in history' to the UK – for limited period
You might read about McDonald's chocolate-covered fries, Burger King's 'Whopperito', and all the other curious fast food inventions, only to be left disappointed when you discover that they're not here in the UK.
KFC is actually bringing its Double Down to British shores this month, though, so at least you've got something real to tuck into.
The company says it's its "most successful sandwich in history", but since launch has only been available in the US, Australia, and New Zealand.
Fried chicken fans here have for some time be yearning desperately for the Double Down to arrive.
Well here it comes – KFC announced today that it will introduce the sandwich to Britain's branches on October 9. It'll be here for six weeks.
The Double Down soon established cult status after hitting social media. Replacing the bread buns are two 'Original Recipe' chicken fillets. Sandwiched between them is bacon, US-style cheese, and BBQ sauce
Jack Hinchliffe, Innovation Director at KFC UK & Ireland, said: “There’s been so much excitement for the Double Down since it first launched to the US in 2010. It’s sold out in every country that it’s been released in.
“Fandom has gone wild over the past few years on social media, and we’ve even had reports of our customers taking things into their own hands by hacking the menu to create the sandwich."
