Urgent! Stop the presses! KFC is bringing back the Double Down.

Finally, some good news!

Now and then I am reminded that I freaking love this country!

Yes, for a limited time only, because nothing good lasts forever, KFC is bringing back the DOUBLE DOWN!

It's America's single greatest fast food achievement. A sandwich with no buns, instead it's cheese, bacon, Mayo or spicy sauce, between two tender, juicy KFC filets.

A culinary delicacy that remains untouched in the lore, legends, and history of cuisine.

This dude even got a Double Down tattoo. He knows what's up.

From CNN:

The "KFC Double Down" is coming back for a limited time, as of March 6. The instantly recognizable creation replaces the bread that's found in a typical sandwich and uses two fried chicken filets as the bun. In between are two slices of cheese, bacon and a choice of mayo or spice sauce.

The Double Down made its debut in 2010 and sold more than 10 million sandwiches. Despite that, the chain said back then that sales of the sandwich were "immaterial" and analysts said the Double Down sales were below expectations. But the Double Down "generated more buzz than any test market item in KFC history," it said.

It reappeared in 2014 for a brief time before disappearing from the chain's menus. But KFC said fans have been "clamoring for the return" of the sandwich, so the chain is "answering the call" by bringing it back.

After nearly a decade-long hiatus, it's finally back.

My heart is so full right now.

Or maybe those are the arteries clogging.

I am so truly excited about this.

The KING has returned!
