Popeyes introduces ’emotional support chicken’ to cope with holiday stress
The stress of traveling, especially over the holiday season, can be a lot. Crowds, long lines, delays, and weather can certainly turn anyone into the Grinch.
It’s no wonder some travelers need an emotional support animal.
POPEYES has the perfect solution to your holiday travel blues: an ’emotional support chicken’!
It’s actually a three-piece chicken meal in a specially designed carrier that looks exactly like a chicken.
The fast food fried chicken chain announced Tuesday travelers at the Philadelphia International Airport can purchase the support chicken ahead of their flight.
