    Has a company ever crashed and burned so badly after a viral marketing home run?

    A few weeks was reasonable, but now it appears Popeyes headquarters is managed just like their stores

    I really don’t think this is a crash and burn. It was just a return to status quo.

    Yeah I for one will never ever eat there after this and not even their Cajun turkeys will win me back. They had one chance and they blew it.

    Yea I'm not surprised by this at all. Honestly it's pretty hilarious. Popeyes stores have always been managed terribly but the food is so good you deal with it. The sandwich is no different.

    If you haven't eaten at Popeyes since the sandwich was pulled then you don't deserve the sandwich when it comes back. Enjoy your soggy CFA.

    God bless.

    I feel like I live 20 to 30 minutes from everything. The Popeyes at the gas station here said they will not be getting the chicken sadwich ever again, due to security concerns.

    Yep, too many people waiting in the truck stop gas station, plus all the truckers, was causing white the circus. I guess the gas station made the decision.

    That insulated bag they use is really odd. If it sits too long, it simultaneously dries out the chicken and makes the bread smushed/soggy. Combine that with the irregular-shaped fillets and the experience can range anywhere from great to miserable.

    My first exposure to CFA was at a university cafeteria, where all the sandwiches were made hours ahead of time and kept under heat lamps, and then during grad school where they’d do bulk orders for big events and then let the sandwiches sit in the large to-go bags. I remember thinking at the time, “WTF why are people so hyped for this trash?” I eventually gave it another chance and ordered/ate fresh at the store and it was much better, but I’ve always been a little confused as to why everyone thinks it’s so amazing.
