....Popeye's started a new campaign....BYOB...bring your own bun.....to deal with the shortage....
.....no mayo.....no pickles.....no bun.....so really just chicken tenders......
Popeyes introduces BYOB solution for sold out chicken sandwich: Bring your own bun
.....For everyone who still hasn't tried the Popeyes chicken sandwich yet, the fast-food joint has a new proposition -- BYOB -- bring your own bun.
That's right, just when you thought the cravings had subsided, things ramped back up while people patiently await the return of summer's hottest sandwich.
Try our new BYOB! It’s basically The Sandwich! Only no mayo. Or pickles. And you bring your own bun… Really it’s just three tenders… pic.twitter.com/9jOFyfdae4

While the restaurant works to get the sandwich back, it offered another suggestion to try and keep customers happy, "order three tenders and make your own sandwich."
Popeyes rolled out the BYOB idea on Thursday and fans were split on the news.

Responses on Twitter ranged from disappointed to downright shocked at the "sandwich assembly not included" notion.
The chicken sandwich became a cultural phenomenon that had fans flocking to try it, waiting hours in line and some even taking to Twitter in hopes of getting a taste.
Even, the governor of Louisiana pulled some strings and presented the Little League World Series champs with the elusive sandwich.
The only place in the world that you can get a @PopeyesChicken sandwich is at the Governor’s Mansion tonight. Only the best for Louisiana’s own 2019 @LittleLeague World Series Champions! #LouisianaProud pic.twitter.com/KN13ws7wRZ

All to say, the menu item made with a brioche bun, pickles and crispy fried chicken sold out just two weeks after it was introduced nationwide.
But can this marketing strategy satisfy some seriously passionate poultry fans?
"It’s basically The Sandwich! Only no mayo. Or pickles. And you bring your own bun… Really it’s just three tenders," Popeyes said in the tweet.
As of the time of publication their video on Twitter already had over 175K views and nearly 3K retweets.
basically......a deconstructed sandwich.......no mayo.....no pickles.....no bun....so just the chicken tenders......?!

This is all good media exposure for them though.

So their supposedly awesome chicken sandwich was basically their tenders on a bun? I do like their tenders, but I was thinking the sandwich was something "more".

There's one of these Popeye's around me. It still looks like it's empty and no one is there. No lines at all...

No the chicken sandwich is not just tenders on a bun.
they used to have a "sandwich" that was just 3 tenders in a roll, but they phased that out a while ago.

I have yet to venture to a Popeye's, but should, just to see if there's a line.
But life is too short to get in a line that doesn't serve me in 5min.
At least now that Apple kit releases don't require lines.
