Get those Tums ready.
KFC, the fast food chain best known for consistently finding innovative new ways to clog your arteries, has debuted its latest food abomination: the Double Down Dog. It's a hot dog drizzled with cheese sauce and swaddled by a fried chicken bun.
And they say fast food isn't good for you.

KFC has not yet responded to Mashable's request for comment, but the company made the announcement on its Facebook page.
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
This is a followup to the restaurant's Double Down sandwich, a.k.a. a bacon cheeseburger with fried chicken for buns that was only available in South Korea.
The Double Down Dog will only be available in the Philippines for two days. It seems as though America is not yet ready, which is either a blessing or a curse. Only time, and blood tests, will tell.
Each participating location will also only be able to sell 50 items per day -- and that's 50 too many.
