Knowing that you’re planning to spend November 19 in your house playing Grand Theft Auto VI, Popeyes is banking on you having a hankering for a chicken sandwich, too. The popular fast food restaurant has announced a same-day launch of its new Spice City sandwich, which is meant to pay homage to a sandwich that can be found somewhere in Rockstar’s massive new game.
In a press release, Popeyes states, "It’s been reported that a lot of fans will be calling in sick and are clearing their calendars to disappear into the sunniest, most chaotic open world in gaming. Popeyes has the perfect getaway meal and we wanted to let you know now so you can plan ahead."
In other words, you don’t need to get off the couch to get your chicken sandwich on.
The Spice City sandwich features two thick chicken patties and pickles on a brioche bun alongside spicy or regular mayo. It’ll run $6 while supplies last — which isn’t very long. As a matter of fact, this new offering is only available for a few days, November 19 - November 22.
This is the weirdest timeline.
