Though it’s just come to our attention, long before anyone had ever gotten their hands slick with a KFC Double Down, some folks out there were loosening their belts because of the McGangBang — an entire McDonald’s McChicken sandwich that is then sandwiched between the halves of a double cheeseburger.

What the McGangBang puts on your waistline — 750 calories, 35g of fat — it makes up for in your wallet, since both sandwiches are on the McDonald’s dollar menu, you’re looking at just over $2 for the whole shebang. Of course, you’ll probably need more than a few sodas to wash it down…

The legend of the McGangBang goes back to 2006, when it first appeared in an Urban Dictionary entry that described a chicken sandwich between two full burgers being served at a McDonald’s in Daytona Beach.

Over at EatMeDaily.com, there’s a detailed history of the McGangBang. We highly suggest you check it out.

So we want to know which of you out there has tasted the McGangBang, and why you’ve been holding out on us.
