There is a story behind my badge.

When I took AP Biology, I had a ritual with some of my classmates. After each test (and the AP Exam) we would go KFC, and each order 2 double downs. We would then place one double down inside the other double down, and then eat the resulting wad of fried chicken. Grand total of four deep fried chicken breasts, eight slices of bacon, 2 slices of essentially velveeta, and about 3/4 a cup of mayo, plus an order of potato wedges. Then we would go lay around and complain that we could feel our arteries clogging.

And that's why I had to badge this monster.

The one and only time I had a double-down was following the AP Chemistry exam in high school. Most of my class went, one of my friends rode in the bed of another persons pickup truck, and we all felt like human garbage after eating those things.

Never again.

I want to eat one of those now. Can you still get Double Downs?

    Can you still get Double Downs?

No idea. As far as I know it may be like walking into McDonalds and ordering a Mcgangbang, but with the monstrosity they've just birthed, most likely yeah.

Do yourself a favor and don't do the quad-down. While it doesn't taste bad, it looks pretty horrific, and eating it is an ungainly affair at best. And then you have to live with yourself afterwards too.

The double down was a rotational menu item or whatever that's called and is currently unavailable, laying in wait for the world to need protein as bread again

I love this story.

My dislike of fried chicken is completely irrational - but there it is.
