This was one of the pioneers of over-the-top fast food items, and now it’s back:  KFC just announced they’re bringing back their infamous DOUBLE DOWN sandwich for the first time in almost a decade.

It’s the one with two fried chicken patties instead of buns.  No bread, just one chicken patty . . . bacon, cheese, and sauce . . . and another chicken patty on top.

It debuted in 2010 after they announced it in an April Fools’ Day press release.  So people thought it was a joke, but it was very real.  It’s 950 calories, or almost twice as many as a Big Mac.

They brought it back for a few weeks in 2014, and haven’t sold it in the U.S. since then.  So it’s been about nine years.

It’ll hit their menu next Monday as a limited-time-only thing again.  It’ll be around for one month this time if you want to try it.
