Description: KFC's Double Down appeared in our lives in 2010, and immediately took the world by storm. Food critics were (mostly) disgusted by it, the Internet was (obviously) obsessed with it, and it ended up being one of the most influential fast food dishes of this century. In this episode, we're covering how the infamous bunless sandwich was unveiled as a potential April Fools Day joke, and proceeded to become a smash sensation, setting the stage for the "stunt food" era that dominated food media for the next decade. We'll briefly cover the history of KFC itself while highlighting some of the best reactions to the sandwich's release, and the many variations that have appeared all over the world. Host Janae Price covers all this and more, in just under five minutes. Did you know the history of the sex toy dates back millions of years?

In History of… Thrillist is taking you through a rapid-fire crash course on some of humankind's greatest innovations in food, drink, travel, and fun. Hey, if you can keep up, you actually might learn something!
