SUITLAND, Md. — A battle between Chick-fil-A and Popeyes has sparked on Twitter, but some have taken it a little too far.
It all started last week when Popeyes debuted a new chicken sandwich at its restaurants nationwide. Some decided to compare it to Chick-fil-A's signature fried chicken sandwich.
Things took off on social media when Chick-fil-A stirred the pot on Twitter by tweeting "Bun + Chicken + Pickles = all the [heart emoji] for the original."
Popeyes responded a couple hours later by retweeting Chick-fil-A and wrote, "...y'all good?"
Shake Shack joined the party as well.
And then there was Wendy's, who couldn't hold back the sass.
But after all of the national beef on social media, things have gone local. Some WUSA9 employees went to Popeyes to try this new chicken sandwich, but here's what they found instead.
Posted on the door to Popeyes was a sign reading, "Sorry we are sold out sandwich."
But that's not all.
A Maryland resident posted an unopened Popeyes chicken sandwich for sale on his Facebook page -- for $100. Anthony Washburn said that he'd deliver within a 25-mile radius of Suitland for an additional $38.52 charge.
"Price is NOT negotiable, No holds!" Washburn said on Facebook.
So we'll leave it up to you to decide -- is a piece of chicken battered and fried between two golden buns worth this level of attention?
