Wow, the Philippines' flag looks an awful lot like America's.

Reading is fundamental

American company. Everything ultimately is approved directly or indirectly through them.

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I don't understand. Why not put the cheese on the inside?

Then it would just be a mcchicken with cheese..plus you need to get your hands dirty.

seriously though that is probably the stupidest looking thing Ive ever seen.

[Mad Pierrot]

Because nothing says STREETWISE like cheese melted on a bun top.

[spiderman123]

mmmmmm

[Chichikov]

Wow, the Philippines' flag looks an awful lot like America's.

I get the joke, but it's actually kinda true.
The colors were picked to show gratitude to the US for helping during their revolution.
They really should've waited a couple of years to make sure that the US don't want to fucking colonize them first, because 2 years later they had to start re-writing history.

drive by history lesson!

[Duane Cunningham]

Man. Why don't they just put the mayo on the outside too while they're at it? It'll be a hoot.

[BoboBrazil]

Good question. That just makes no sense at all. Even the chicken sandwich with the bun being chicken patties makes more sense.

The thing about the double down is that is actually has a benefit and makes sense from a low carb point of view. Plus it has a ton of protein. This thing has no benefit from putting cheese on the top of the bun. This has to be the most pointless fast food creation I've ever seen.

American company. Everything ultimately is approved directly or indirectly through them.

But it happened somewhere else. The original post was insinuating that big fat America (which I know always a favorite among non-Americans) needs to have shittier and shittier food that looked ridiculous, like the Double-Down. Sadly though, he didn't read the post enough to realize it was only in the Philippines.

[Prezhulio]

there's a terrible simpsons "in soviet russia" joke in there....somewhere

[wanders]

I think they were going for a pan de sal sort of Burger which is a Filipino bread with cheese on top.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

[Iksenpets]

There's something beautiful in the geometry of that monstrosity, in the way the corners of the cheese perfectly touch the edge of the bun without going over, creating the little wedge shapes of visible bun. It's like disgusting, indelible art.

[The Broken Ska Record]

Hmm, the garlic Parmesan sauce does sound tasty. Although the cheese on top is very weird.

[Izick]

It would have made more sense for the cheese to be on the bottom. Now you have to flip the sandwich before eating it to get the cheese effect.

[itwasTuesday]

Cheese Hat.

[themadcowtipper]

Does KFC have a department for terrible food ideas? bootleg everything!

The Double Down was awesome, food of the gods....

[BoboBrazil]

I have found the commercial for this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5StHnVoFc

The guy puts his fingers directly on the melted cheese?!

[womfalcs3]

Has anybody ever come out of a KFC with anything less than diarrhea?

[LyleLanley]

WHY?

[kittens]

Why would I want that?

It's a cheeseburger but... messier. Plus no burger.

[Tashbrooke]

Well this is just brilliant.

[GillianSeed79]

WHY?

So you can melt off your fingerprints by the molten hot cheese in case you want to murder somoene? Kind of like that movie Seven I guess.

[Rebel Leader]

The only acceptable hand cheese is Cheeto hand cheese.

Easily knows who steals my cheetos D_D

[dvdjamm]

I keep asking...Why doesn't anyone make a chicken adobo sandwich? There's food trucks that makes burritos with adobo.Why not a sandwich?

You know some lazy worker made a bunch of cheeseburgers and forgot to turn over the bun with cheese...

[RubxQub]

This burger looks more like it's streets behind instead of streets ahead if you ask me...

Order it in as a torta.

Are you talking about a Filipino adobo or Mexican adobo.. pretty big difference.

The Filipino version is marinated in vinegar, and is nothing like the Mexican version.

Anyhow, you can get it in a sandwich at just about any worthwhile taco truck.. just ask for a torta.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Some said Mongo was simply an idiot who couldn't put a sandwich together correctly.

Others called him a visionary.

[kaizoku]

finger lickin' good

[MThanded]

put the cheese inside fools.

[Omegasquash]

It's like I want to like it, but can't find a way to actually like it.

ROFLMAO. I don't know why but I can't stop laughing at that. HAHAHAHAHA.

Well Carne Adobo (Mexican) and Chicken Adobo (Filipino) are two different things. Though I could see a Filipino Greasy Pork adobo sandwich.

They also make Adobo flavored rolls like Curry rolls in Japan.

Honestly though, at first glance the sandwich reminded me of Ensaymada although Ensaymada is a pastry.

Still, could just be the Philippines fucked up ideas of what Americans like as evidenced by the types of Pizzas you can buy there:





For the record the best KFC you can get in the Philippines was the Wasabi-Lime Chicken Twister wrap. May it rest in peace.

[XiaNaphryz]

Don't they eat burgers with a fork over there?

What?

[The Lamonster]

I have to admit - I'm into this.

[richiek]

[dvdjamm]

I meant Filipino Adobo...Put it on a French Roll with some grilled onions,peppers and some kind of sauce...Maybe a garlic mayo or spicy mustard or something close to either one. It's a better idea than making a hamburger and putting cheese on top of the bun.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

"Try our delicious new bun-stuffed patties! We're not even sure how that happened. Only at Jack-In-The-Box."

I'm making Adobo tonight. I'll save some to make some Adobo Rolls and report the results :)

[Joe Shlabotnik]

"We'll do anything. We'll wear the roast beef on our head. Drown a live chicken in Horsey Sauce. Pick up Burger King for you and bring it back. Please just visit us. Arby's."

OK I'm done.

It's like I'm really reading Reddit.

Why the heck not, it's a very savory dish.. and any roasted/stewed chicken/pork/beef makes a tasty sandwich.

[ULTROS!]

[NaturalHigh]

And there you go.

[Blablurn]

I wanna eat it now :/

[DonMigs85]

Jimmy Kimmel's show made a spoof ad complete with actual Filipino actors:

[Gr1mLock]

Big deal. So they put the cheese in the wrong place for inexplicable reasons. Maybe they should cover the whole thing in bacon, to you know..maintain structural integrity.
