Double Down

During commercial breaks of Manny Pacquiao's fight with Antonio Margarito on local TV, a brilliantly engaging KFC ad for its new product floods the airtime. Brilliant, because that ad sent people flocking through KFC branches, at least those that I visited. In my circle, there has been this undying hype about the KFC Double Down. Not only was the ad effective, in my opinion, chicken-meat-on-chicken-meat-with-bacon-cheese-and-mayo-in-between is nothing but intriguing.

Needless to say, Double Down has always been sold out each time I visit a KFC branch. The hype excites me as it frustrates me. A couple of days ago, I decided to give up on the quest for that elusive and intriguing Double Down. I told myself that if I ever get to try it, ever, it better give justice to my expectations. I don't want to prolong this entry as I have deviated yet again from my main goal for tonight.

Tonight, Daddy brought home a bag from KFC. Voila.
It's oily, salty, chicken-meaty. Exactly the way I expected it to be. Hands down to KFC for amazing advertising!
After everything it has put me through, it deserves a photo opportunity so that it is immortalized on this blog; something to remember it by, how it had me pulling at my hair and gnashing my teeth each time the clerk at the counter said: "Sold out na po eh."
