Donuts and KFC

The KFC Chicken & Donut Sandwich is like watching two walruses fight over a bucket of candy. At first, it sounds wild and awesome. Then, once you get into it, you realize that the components involved are too heavy and cumbersome to be entertaining, leaving you disappointed, tired and everything uncomfortably sticky -- even though you tried everything to prevent it from happening.

The Donut Sandwich is dumb. I know it. You know it. KFC knows it. But now it’s to the point where the spectacle is enough to cause buzz in what’s already a diluted market for over-the-top fast food novelties.
