I guarantee you I go way past the calorie/fat/sodium count of the Double Down sandwich on those nights.

It's all because of the novelty of two pieces of fried chicken being used for buns. If that chicken was sliced up and put on a hero, it would be a normal sandwich anywhere else.

Someone upthread said it best: it's basically the main ingredients for what passes for a salad at many chain restaurants these days, outside of sitting on lettuce.
