Two weeks ago no one was talking about this sandwich. Then last week, everyone everywhere started losing their minds over it.

Live bands: Its Lit: They Really Got A Live Band Inside Popeye’s Over These Chicken Sandwiches!. Fights over sandwiches: popeyes sandwich fight - YouTube. Lol. Janet Jackson with a police escort getting a sandwich.
Since then, the sandwich has been "sold out" everywhere. If you try to get a sandwich today, chances are you won't get one.
On social media, all the posts are comparing Popeyes to Chick Fil A. Not Wendy's with their Jalapeno Chicken Sandwich (pretty good). Not McDonald's with their $2 Jalapeno McChicken (the best value there is). But comparing it to Chick Fil A -- the best of the best in terms of fast food chicken.
In a span of one week, Popeyes has gone from being considered one of the worst fast food joints, to one of the best, on Chick Fil A level.
My conspiracy theory: the sandwiches are not actually sold out. The scarcity is artificial. The media campaigns were pushed out by an official team. Janet Jackson was paid to get a sandwich with a police escort. After that, the hype took off by itself, and we're bearing witness to one of the greatest fast food marketing ploys in modern time.
Thoughts?
