The Double Down disappears in Canada

And just like that, it’s gone.

The KFC Double Down, the epic eye-popping, jaw-dropping bun-less sandwich, is no longer being sold in Canada.

Without explaining why it has pulled the outrageous item from its menu, KFC announced that as of yesterday, “Canada is officially a Double Down free zone.”

The whole purpose of the bread or bun in any sandwich is to stop getting your fingers greasy. KFC evidently didn't understand that. If you're eating sitting down with a knife and fork, it doesn't matter. But fast food franchises depend on garb-and-go dining. That's the fatal mistake KFC made. :)

Of course, in Quebec, anything goes:

What Canadians living in Florida miss the most about Canada:

  • The ability to ice stake to work.
  • Taking the kids to polar bear petting zoos.
  • Preparing Thanksgiving dinner in 5 minutes using Kraft Dinner.
  • Socializing with conversation starters like "Cold, eh?" and "Would you like a donut?"
  • Lower subscription rates to Canadian magazines like Hypothermia Today.
 
30 days of night? Over here in Aussie-land we get too much sunshine for that :p
But err, no, I haven't seen those. I'll be sure to arm myself with ice stakes before viewing.

The magazine's international survey was focused on responses of frequent premium travellers who average 33 round-trip flights a year and with 96 per cent of them travelling in first class or business class regularly.

If they asked the people who didn't fly first class they'd get a very different story. Air Canada is overpriced and underserviced.
