Remember about two months ago when the Popeye's chicken sandwich took over the world? Well it sold out in about a week. And when I say sold out, I mean SOLD OUT. Not just a few stores. Every Popeye's restaurant in the United States. Not a chicken sandwich to be found. And you know what? They're still sold out! The great chicken sandwich famine of 2019 is still going on!
Now when we first started talking about this sandwich on the air, I was stunned to find out there was a Popeye's in Manitowoc. I thought for sure my nearest Popeye's was going to be in Milwaukee, but lo and behold, the Clipper City, the home of the Manitowoc Minute, is home to the Popeye's nearest Sheboygan. And you know what? They're STILL sold out. Apparently there's a sign on the front door that says the sandwich will be back in, 'late October.' If that is to be believed, we may be just days away from consuming a sandwich that has literally no chance to live up to the expectation I now have for it.
Anyhoo, not only did Popeye's sell out of the sandwich itself, but apparently a sexy chicken sandwich Halloween costume is also also sold out. What a time to be alive! It's Popeye's world and we're just living in it.
PS: The story about the chicken sandwich Halloween costume came in my daily show prep today. There are no pictures associated with those stories, and clearly, this is a story that requires a visual. But before I googled it, I tried to envision what a, 'sexy chicken sandwich,' would look like. I'm not sure if the actual picture fit the bill or not, but I suppose it makes sense.
Double PS: Googling, 'sexy chicken sandwich,' was 1,000% a, 'take my phone off of the company wi-fi' moment for me at 6:17am.
