Okay this is taking hillbilly food way too far. FOUL 


Taste Test: KFC’s new ‘Skinwich’
August 15, 2010 by Me Gusta 31 Comments
KFC is testing a new sandwich: The Skinwich.

5 layers of fried chicken skin, lumped on a bun and topped with white american cheese and bacon.

It’s only available at a handful of KFCs (for now). One happened to be right near our office, so I walked over. Exclusive pics:

Verdict
Nasty. The richness of all that fatty seasoned skin is totally overwhelming. It’s also tongue-parchingly-salty.

I started to gag and got that “brushing the back of your tongue” feeling. Had to spit it out. In KFC’s defense, the sandwich was luke-warm after taking the pics. But I doubt it would be much better hot.

With this latest move and the Double Down‘s success, KFC may be catching up to Hardees/BK in the “making sandwiches so nauseating they generate buzz” dept.

Other Skinwich test stores:
Ekaf, Maine – Colbert Blvd.
Tihsllub, Oklahoma – Corner of 3rd & Twain.
Eritas, California – Dense St.
KFC… You Go Too Far

  How could they make a sandwich out of just the skin.... what were they thinking!

[Alexziq]

My cholesterol climbs to dangerous levels just looking at that abomination. Dr Frankenstein would be envious.

i love the skin and like many other probably the first thing to do is peel back and  eat is the skin. To say a sandwich made of just skin or even a box of skins sounds good cause its so delicious but then thinking about eating enough to cure hunger is..... 

yeah this is a epic fail

[UltraRoboninja]

, take a good look at the names of the test cities. See if you notice anything a little... backwards about them.

A buddy of mine knows that I grew up throughout my teens out in hilljack land b4 moving to the city, and that I love seeing hillbilly crap like this so he is always forwarding me "People of Walmart" "Mullets Galore" "Tosh.0" stuff. I think it was from a site, but it was an email forwarded to me.

Lets take mash taters, popcorn chicken, gravy, and melt cheese over it, and stir it up. Now that is legit Hilltucky eatin.

This skinwich fooled me because it's not much more far fetched.

Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger — for Real
Warning: Your cholesterol level may rise just from reading this. The fast foodies'  ultimate combo was reportedly dreamed up by a chef in Decatur, Georgia, who brought together the two food faves (a donut sliced in half, with meat and cheese in the middle) and dubbed it the Luther Burger. The calorie bomb has been making its way to ball parks and state fairs, growing a fan base along the way. This year, the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger is featured at the Wisconsin and Kentucky State Fairs. As one writer for the Christian Science Monitor noted, the burger "sounds atrocious to just about everyone who hasn't tried one." Searches on Yahoo! for the sweet-and-savory treat are sizzling with a whopping 447,225% one-day increase in lookups.

to each his own. Like back in the 70's when people were buying pet rocks. People will buy anything. But back to food people will eat anything



you can sell a bag of &^#$ and if you season it and present it right people will have at it.

  I saw that episode and it was hilarious. I think they were doing a pardoy of the krisby kreme burger. But I have to admit I would eat it, and the sandwitch Alexziq posted  .

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Doesn't matter how disgusting it looks the average consumer will definitely eat it.

[Violent Ken Masters]

Could be worse.

[ClubSyN-X-TReME]

I Remember that.

[Alexziq]

Lord theres a new slew of these beasts on yahoo today.

The friendly meltdown burger. A big greasy hamburger patty served between 2 whole grilled cheese sandwichs for buns.

Or the Dennys toasted cheese with 4 mozarella sticks melted inside the toasted cheese slices.
