It’s Baaaaaaack: KFC Is Resurrecting The Double Down
Its reign will be brief this time as well, with the sandwich returning to KFCs nationwide on April 21 and exiting again on May 25, ostensibly for another four-year cicada-like slumber underneath our feet, or wherever it is sandwiches hibernate.
USA Today was the first to report the sandwich’s return this morning, saying the company announced the news this morning.
A KFC spokesman confirmed the news to the Huffington Post, saying the 540-calorie offering will be back on the menu for another brief stint. Unless, of course, people clamor for it to stay.
“At this point, we’re thinking about this as a limited-time only kind of product,” the spokesman said. “We’ll have to see what America thinks.”
