I like Popeye's a lot, but I was never interested in trying the sandwich.. until the marketing gimmick hit. then they were sold out, of course. I think it has to be marketing.. how do you run out of chicken for the sandwich? unless they are pre-made and shipped frozen? I remember years ago, some Pizza joint had a mini-pizza for a short time, I ordered a large, then decided what the Hell, I'll try a mini while I'm at it.. ordered, and the cashier said "we're out of the mini".. I thought nothing of it, until the guy behind me asked "how do you run out of dough"?

maybe Popeye's watched Taco Bell and Whataburger add items, and take them away for a while, then bring them back. or McDonald's with the green shake, and Starbuck's with the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Popeye's decided to get in on the action?
