Nutrition trends for 2011. Trying to best KFC’s Double Down, Burger King adds the Quad Stacker to the menu — quadruple-stacked layers of beef and cheese — topped with bacon and “sauce”. Super size me?

In related news, KFC announce the “Behemoth” – 5 chicken breasts between 7 layers of cheese served between two loaves of bread and deep fried. Now that is innovation!

Sauce, you say?

Trent 01 Jan 11

The one picture to me is as good as example of the failure of our society as anything else.

size being the only consideration, not a single vegetable in sight, plastic cheese, probably a week’s energy needs for a normal person.

and the link to the item? it’s in a directory called /menu-nutrition/. awesome

Reminds me of the good ol’ days when we’d swallow a full-grown mastodon and then hang out in the cave for a month or two digesting and maybe doing a little drawing … we didn’t have good sauce back then, actually I don’t remember bacon, either. Nobody ever could remember to pick up the buns either …

I’m trying to imagine some kind of cross-over between the fast food industry, and the shaving-razor industry.

NEW ! BK Triple-Bladed Razor Stack-O!

That Quad Stacker has been there way before the Double Down hit the market. I should know; I’ve suffered more than one.

Pedro 01 Jan 11

I second that request to fix your RSS feed. For the past three posts it’s been having issues with HTML .

Looks. Sooooo. Tasty.

Here’s what sad that people don’t realize…

PFC Double Down: Calories=540, Cholesterol= 145, Sodium=1380

Zaxby’s House Zalad: Calories=760, Cholesterol=135, Sodium=1820

Sometimes the “bad” choice is better than the “good” choice.

The people who designed this bigger have followed some of the principles in Getting Real.

Lee 01 Jan 11

Yep. Google reader feed is showing HTML .

Increasing meat-to-bread ratio. It’s a good thing!

Dylan 03 Jan 11

How revolting. And a blatant disregard for life. Greed. Gluttony. Everything that’s wrong with the world.

I know it seems like a ridiculously fattening item but the KFC Double Down is actually no worse than a lot of fast food chicken sandwiches.

KFC Double Down: 540 cal, 32g fat BK Tender Crisp Sandwich: 800 cal, 46g fat BK Original Chicken Sandwich: 630 cal, 39g fat McD Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich: 630 cal, 28g fat

John Young 03 Jan 11

Looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it.

@Mark – one might actually be better off eating the razors…

I hope 2011 sees the start of people taking more care in what they eat. The warning signs are there people – food is becoming a big killer. Combine that with a new laziness thanks to technology (iPhones, iPads etc) and we are all living very dangerously.

I look forward to this post scrolling off the front page. I’m sick of seeing this burger.
