KFC's Most Epic Sandwich Is Getting a Ridiculous Upgrade in Korea

The news: The Double Down, KFC's Frankenstein-esque creation that slapped bacon and cheese between two fried chicken fillets and called it a sandwich, is getting a very special addition: a beef patty. 

Feel that? That's the sound of your arteries waking up in a Colonel Sanders-inspired cold sweat.

The new abomination is called the "Zinger Double Down King," and it features an extra dose of special sauce in addition to the beef patty.

(The country is also responsible for the Double Down Maxx, which consisted of a cheesy hash brown trapped between fried-chicken buns.)

Reactions were mixed. Some were predictable:

Others were all but a sermon spoken at the altar of the Kentucky Fried Chicken gods:

Then again, at least it's not this thing.
