Imagine being out with friends and you utter the words “ugh yeah ill get the festive double down”. They would think you’re trolling, hate yourself, or enjoy burning money. Why does KFC insist on still doing this sandwich after the way fast food prices have inflated. They have to know people are gonna freak.
$17 is a LIE! the sandwich alone is $10.99, the double down is $14.99. It's $13 for the regular sandwich combo with fries and a drink. It's $17 for the regular sandwich, popcorn chicken, a drink, fries, a dip and a two piece Turtles Bar.
@@Liberal_From_Prairies689 you know different locations set different prices, right? they don't advertise the price nationally for this reason. and guy lives in bc, where prices are going to be the highest for everything.
Kfc also charges extra for cheese on all their sandwiches, and no more option to add bacon either. It's decent, but consistently the most expensive fast food around.
I’m surprised you said the festive one from last year was just OK, you gave it 8/10 & seemed to want to go higher but the price was holding it back. Wouldn’t be against a re-review of it if there’s downtime over the holiday season!
They should have used the strips instead of the crunch, they could have kept the price point much lower. Also, you can get 4 original recipe, 4 Strips, fries and 2 sides for 20$ in Edmonton. A much better bang for your buck
@JFRJesse you can use white balance in editing, just have something white on screen and set it to that and it will fix the color. Or you can filter the light.
its odd they chose mayo for the sandwhich sauce and not gravy, which would fit better with the holiday theme and all around probably go better with the stuffing..
😂😂😂😂jingle bells sandwich smells, way to high price for mee... Great review as always!! (Was singing the first sentence to the tune of your jingle bells music)
Colonel Sanders rose from the dead with a mission: "I'm going to kill everybody who eats a greasy Double Down that tastes like the worst Thanksgiving of their lives."
Colonel Sanders did live the last 15 years of his life in Canada. And he used to randomly go into franchises and if they weren't up to his standards they would lose their franchise license. He would be pissed off a lot nowadays. Lol
$17 worth of SMASH!. Thanks Jesse. I've never had anything double down from KFC. I just can't bring myself to do it cause I know how greasy their chicken breasts are. The stomach brick that follows from a normal sandwich at KFC, I think the Double Down might kill me.
Even if tasted amazing, would it still have been a smash at that insane price? What could possibly have kept that from being a smash if you would never buy it again?
@@JFRJesse Yeah, even if it had cheese and/or mayo and tasted awesome, wouldn't it still be a smash at that price, that thing was a no-win situation lol, wonder what they would charge for that in the US.
17 Dollars.. I know Ontarians have asks before, but I will ask for myself, is the Chicken Halal? I know Ontario is fighting back on that issue so I am wondering maybe that price going on to the other Provinces for that loss? Something I am trying to resurge myself is all
$16.40 before tax in Edmonton. Hard pass. All KFCs are always three things... greasiest, slowest, and most expensive. Should try Jollibee if you haven't... it's fried chicken, so kinda greasy, but they nail the crispy. And spicy is better.
Oh yeah! First you debut the over the shoulder pizza toss with the butter chicken pizza and then you give us the chicken baseball swing. Finding new ways to destroy crappy food brotha!
these places keep coming up with more gimmicks for menu items but they just seem to be overpriced crap most the time .....would be different if the stuff was good and affordable...
the life of half a chicken was wasted. It actually makes me quite disgusted to think it had to be thrown away, because KFC can't make a decent product under the YUM banner...
That kfc you went to is shit i ordered two box meals and these two guys just walk in and order the same and they got theres way quicker then me the best one to go to is north shore
what a waste o money if u wanted grease dip you head in the French fry fryer lol kfc is dyeing so slowly just go to Mary browns on there special day in ottawa its 499 for the sandwich and stay far away from kfc

$17 is robbery for that
Any price for anything in Canada is robbery

$17 with no cheese is historic

Got worried there for a second without the glasses on
Damn Jesse, you should have made baseball your career with that midair chicken hit
I nailed it.
17 bucks? PASS!🙄
$17 for a sandwich with no bread, cheese, bacon or mayo. At one time you could get a 10 piece meal with a medium fries and two sides for $19.99.
Chicken patties as a bun is insane
I’m surprised you said the festive one from last year was just OK, you gave it 8/10 & seemed to want to go higher but the price was holding it back.

Liked the homerun hit at the end.
Should have used the 20% coupon that comes in each of the KFC Kraft Dinner boxes!
@@shivassondhi2140 haha yes
Glad the festive chicken sandwich is back! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!
Enjoy!
read the room bro lmao
@@korndud...to be fair he did say sandwich. Which is cheaper that the double down because it has a bun instead of another piece of chicken.
You would think that if it's a thanksgiving style item it wouldn't be so expensive.
hahaah the chicken being flung threw the air was funny
For your next really messy meal it would be great if we can see the clean up as well!!!

Your light is too bright, you're glowing like a radioactive carrot.
I'll fix it.

@@TalentlessCookingJaundice Jesse
@unitedking4989 🤣🤣🤣
Thumps up all day long! What a great show
Wow, 17 bucks for 2 chunks of GMO chicken dropped in a deep fryer, lol. These videos save the rest of us from wasting our money.
You paid 17 dollars to have a very top notch smash
$17 for this is an automatic smash. This festive destruction costed around $1.40 per smash with the hammer. 😂😂😂
Haha thanks
Just curious what city do you do most of your reviews from
Kamloops
$15.99 is mind boggling. Let me do the math here... nope, there is no logic to be found
haha
Amazing hand eye coordination on that shot
what a terrible price
Nothing on that sandwich justifies that ridiculous price. would be an ok to try just once if it was under $10.
I was thinking $10
When you have a good food item you don’t destroy, do you sometimes eat the rest of it off camera?
No, it's a rule.
You hit it 10 times, so that works out to $1.70 per WHAM!
At this point they might as well just make the sandwich 79,000 dollars because they are just charging whatever the hell they want
KFC should concentrate on bringing back quality chicken instead of the sparrow pieces they serve
17?! That’s insane! 4:37 Ayyy nice home run!
You can buy the regular festive sandwich combo that comes with a drink, fries, popcorn chicken, an additional side, a dip, and a Turtles Bar for $17.
Jesse is lit up! I think the lighting needs to be toned down a bit bud
@@drizzybeardo I don't know what I did differently
its odd they chose mayo for the sandwhich sauce and not gravy, which would fit better with the holiday theme and all around probably go better with the stuffing..
They forgot it anyway.
you should try the mushroom mozza burger again from a&w!!
I've done it twice, I'll be doing the new Wendy's Mushroom burger.
Great video, nothings open on remembrance day I drove 1 hour too get ownership and plate a car, good old saskatchewan! 17 bucks for 1 sandwhich!
Haha nice

I didn't bother watching after you said $15. There's no way a single fast food sandwich is worth that much.
You don’t feel bad throwing away edible food? 😅
wtf 17 dollars for that is highway robbery
$17 worth of SMASH!. Thanks Jesse. I've never had anything double down from KFC. I just can't bring myself to do it cause I know how greasy their chicken breasts are. The stomach brick that follows from a normal sandwich at KFC, I think the Double Down might kill me.
It's a heavy sandwich
$17 plus gas to drive there = $27
You got quite the glow going on there lol.
New at Wendy's...Came out today...Garlic Mushroom w/ bacon and Muenster cheese...Not the Mushroom Melt...
Thanks Poshtar!
I usually like to try seasonal/limited items even if they get a bad review but at $17 I’d buy some genuine Saskatchewan sealskin before I bought this
why so high saturation
IM FIRED UP
Thank you for doing gods work.. meaning saving us time and money! :)
Just looking at that shit makes my heart go Pitter patter!
You can feed a family of 4 with $17.
Even if tasted amazing, would it still have been a smash at that insane price? What could possibly have kept that from being a smash if you would never buy it again?
Cheese and a lower price, I think they also for got the mayo
@@JFRJesse Yeah, even if it had cheese and/or mayo and tasted awesome, wouldn't it still be a smash at that price, that thing was a no-win situation lol, wonder what they would charge for that in the US.
Must be Xmas at KFC to charge $17 for a greaseball sandwich. Smash is more than justified!
the price is so insane
17 Dollars.. I know Ontarians have asks before, but I will ask for myself, is the Chicken Halal? I know Ontario is fighting back on that issue so I am wondering maybe that price going on to the other Provinces for that loss? Something I am trying to resurge myself is all

Kfc used to have good boneless barbecue wings
Awesome review on a gloomy day.
Yes! Jesse back to the bring it on!
17 DOLLARS LOL
The chicken buns have always been such a dumb idea haha I hate it so much
I remember you did the Double Down and loved it! Sorry this was a disappointment
It this was 10 bucks it would be better
I only go to KFC aka the dirty bird when I have coupons. $ 17 for a double down is egregious
You can get such great online deals
Who is this imposter Jesse with hair and other defects that everyone in the comments is pretending not to notice? Am I being punk’d?
@@SUPREMELEGEND it's still me
"super"
Cheers from B.C :)
what's that on your lip?
Bad memories
The original double down sounds like it was better than this.
My favorite man ❤
Thanks baby!
$16.79 is a SCAM!!! SAVE YOUR WALLET: DO NOT GET THIS ITEM EVER AGAIN!
Seventeen dollars, enough said. disgraceful. They should be embarrassed to sell that.
The picture looked good! Too bad it got the smash!

Vancouver has one
WTF......$17.....NO THANK YOU
Could've used a fork with that. Otherwise, it was too expensive for it.
@@bradsfoodreview haha
That isn't worth it and great review.
Outlandish price
@@BronsonWally way too much for a gimmick
I had the Double Down when it FIRST came out years ago but found it expensive, disgusting and so damn salty. Never again.
Oh yeah! First you debut the over the shoulder pizza toss with the butter chicken pizza and then you give us the chicken baseball swing. Finding new ways to destroy crappy food brotha!
Hey! There are starving kids in Africa who would love to give it a 5.5/10 and smash it smithereens!
Haha
Wow 17 $
The chicken melted all the toppings 😢
The breading just fell off as well
I think that's part of the "new recipe"
highway robbery
these places keep coming up with more gimmicks for menu items but they just seem to be overpriced crap most the time .....would be different if the stuff was good and affordable...
Wow what a ripoff, a regular doubledown costs less and has bacon and cheese wtf kfc stuffing and cranberry sauce def cost less
Oh...it's one of those things. This dumbass idea never gets better KFC. Goggles Jesse.
I remembered
This is suddenly way over exposed (video production). Why the massive change (hopefully unintentional)? A bit too extreme. Dial it back some.
Unintentional
Good thing you got those goggles on today. What a mess!
@@headfakez last second
Looks pretty gross. Its called the "Double Down" because it goes down, heart stops working, then you go down.
@@chrisdean8235 hahaha
