In Search of a "Tipping Point" Food

I feel a little greasy.  An hour ago, in preparation for this blog, I drove to a KFC and bought a “Double Down”, their new creation of two pieces of fried chicken surrounding bacon, cheese, and special sauce.  From a distance of 20 yards it looks like a sandwich, but it is not.  This new KFC creation is now being marketed on college campuses by paying girls $500 to wear clothes featuring the bun-less concoction on their buns.
