The KFC Double Down is coming back

The KFC Double Down is coming back

After destroying touchscreens , stretching belt holes and greasing up all 10 fingers and maybe some toes, the vaunted Double Down from KFC—the ‘sandwich’ that served as America’s tipping point for ridiculous food creations—is coming back on April 21st for a limited time. It was last seen four years ago in 2010 . Same deal as before: two fried chicken filets serve as the sandwich bread container for a cheesy bacon center. Yum. Gag. All at the same damn time.

Imagine your whole house smelling like 11 herbs and spices. These candles are made by frying chicken in an all-natural soy wax, so that smell is the real deal.

If the Colonel were still alive he would have one in every room.

Police Car/Chicken Coop: Here Comes the Fuzz, I Mean the Feather

How do you follow up Pac-Man light bulbs and an aquarium in a phone booth? With a police car turned into a Chicken Coop obviously. Benedetto Bufalino strikes again.

His newest piece of art is The Police Car Barn. That seems like a natural progression. I’m sure these police cars feel like a chicken coop to the criminals that ride in them, so it makes at least a little bit of sense. This functional chicken coop was built inside of an old 1970s era French police car.

The interior was gutted and he propped up the hood, the trunk and the passenger door for some extra room.

These chickens have it good. A cool car and lots of room. It must be a pain to clean up though. And forget about it if you have to drive this thing in a high-speed pursuit.

Here’s something to bring up the next time you’re eating after being a winner winner: you don’t actually have to wash the raw chicken with water before you cook it.

Fried Chicken Cookies: What’s the Matter Colonel Sanders?

I love those finger-lickin’-good chicken drumsticks, but as a cookie flavor? I don’t think so.

Thankfully these fried chicken cookies whipped up by Bridget over at Bake at 350 taste nothing like the real thing, although they look so much like it!

The chicken drumsticks are probably the easiest part to form and bake. You can also easily recognize them at a glance, compared to, say, chicken breasts or thighs.

Bridget included a guide on cookie cutter templates so you can still bake some fried chicken leg cookies of your own, even if you don’t have the appropriately-shaped cookie cutters.

Clucktch Chicken Handbag Can Hold Your Golden Eggs and More

It’s a clucktch, it’s a henbag, no wait – it’s the Original Chicken Handbag!

It won’t squawk  but it can definitely carry most of your on-the-go essentials. I had no idea chickens were in style these days, but then again, you never can tell what’s going to catch on or not in the cuckoo world of fashion.

Original Chicken Handbag

The hen featured on the handbag looks particularly happy, don’t you think?

The bag is made from durable rubber, while the handles are tough nylon. It’s also got a nylon base and lining. It looks more like a gag gift to me, but then again, if you can make it work with your outfit, then why not?

The Original Chicken Handbag is available on Firebox for £24.99 (~$38 USD).

Science Proves Whether the Chicken or the Egg Came First

It’s really embarrassing how many sleepless nights I’ve had due to my brain synapsing and wondering whether the chicken or the egg came first.

But after watching ASAP Science definitively answer the question of which came first—the chicken or the egg—I can now sleep in peace. More »
