KFC has introduced a hot dog wrapped in a cheese-stuffed chicken breast.
The so-called Double Down Dog has caused a stir on social media.
It appears to be a hot dog version of the infamous "Double Down," a sandwich that uses chicken patties in place of bread.

While this menu item is bizarre, it represents a few food trends.
