Popeye's Chicken Sandwich |OT| See y'all Sunday
- Thread starter RastaMentality
- Start date
Why would you bump this thread with anything but the news that the sandwich is back? 😡
They absolutely demolished their supply
At least you guys aren't Canadian. Who cares about universal health care when I can't get this fucking sandwich?
There's been a paper sign hanging off my local one with words scribbled about it 'coming back soon'. Ghetto ass rollout.
Absolute Cap 🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
And I won't even get started on yet another "Well sure they donate to orgs who still practice stuff like gay conversion therapy but but but muh Chicken sandwich tho" Chick Fil A - whoops I started myb.
Thing I wanted to say though was how people were so sure the " fad" was over... enough people were left out first time around + the massive consensus of people who had it genuinely loving it+ the amount of free marketing news and social media will do for them= they're definitely going to sell out again ( and depending on their stock and how much they want to keep creating these demands...again and again...)It's McRib frenzy on steroids
I've had Chic three times in my life. Not that person. Just saying their sandwich was better than Popeyes. Some of my faves are smaller chain/locals so no point referencing them.
Hey! I rebuke this devaluation of "spicy mayo." A quality spicy hollandaise is a culinary art in itself. If the heat component ios flavorful and complimentary, why does it matter if it's coming from the breading or not?
Sounds like they're actually prepared this time.
Staffed up. Process improvements. Realigned product logistics and deliveries.
This sandwich has forced them to be more efficient, and just might make Popeyes a better company overall. lol
I'd genuinely be interested in reading a breakdown about what they had to do with their business after the first launch to make this work.
Well I will definitely try to get one of these inside me this weekend. Missed out on the craze last time.
I'm likely to be driving by one on Sunday, if it doesn't look bad I'll stop in. Otherwise I can wait.
I'm gonna laugh if the viral cultural moment has passed and they are stuck sitting on way too many chicken sandwiches. I didn't get a chance to try it when it first released, hopefully I can get one without waiting in a long ass line.
IIRC, the weekend after they suspended sales, their COO went on a Sunday news show apology tour and openly admitted they've controlled costs by utilizing a number of rather "unscalable" processes and that the viral popularity build-up didn't make the transition from expectation to marketing to operations. CNBC reported they've almost immediately brought in consultants to do a post-mortem and after-action.
Not a chance in hell. Every location is going to be PACKED come Nov. 3
Nah bruh, my friends, family and I have been waiting extremely patiently for this to come back, I expect everyone to go crazy again
huh. Interesting. I'd really be interested in seeing what changes they had to make. It's extremely obvious that they couldn't scale up nearly fast enough for how viral this went.
Reading comment replies to that Chick fil a diss and some people really acting like Popeyes slapped their momma
Fantastic news!
I'm going to need to find a better location though, as the one closest to me is on a one-way street and the drive through "lane" is really short, hard to get into, and wraps around the building. If it's even a little backed up I'll be sitting IN the street at an intersection with my blinker on like an asshole.
Popeyes: "great idea, let's add some Slap Ya Mama dust to the sandwiches too!"
