Let’s start at the beginning of this Twitter battle between fast-food brands.
Chick-fil-A and Popeyes started the sandwich debate on Monday when Popeyes subtweeted Chick-fil-A with a retweet of their own post.

Popeyes recently released a new chicken sandwich that has topping similar to Chick-fil-A’s iconic original sandwich. Some people are saying the new sandwich is superior to Chick-fil-A’s original chicken sandwich, hence the debate.
Then Wendy’s decided to get into the feud with a subtweet.
Y’all out here fighting about which of these fools has the second best chicken sandwich. pic.twitter.com/4v9RJFgy0T

Which had Popeyes and Wendy’s going back and forth in a little spat.
Sounds like someone just ate one of our biscuits. Cause y’all looking thirsty. https://t.co/89eqI5vk2z

Popeyes even used a Tweet from Carter Wilkerson, nuggsforcarter.com, to come after Wendy’s.

Which backfired…
lol, it literally took you three times to even properly format a tweet. It’s been a big day, it’s ok to logoff. pic.twitter.com/11BoWi0e50

Then there are the other chains who tried to jump in on how they had the “superior chicken sandwich”.

Bojangles’ tried but they deleted their tweet real fast, well, not before someone had the chance to screenshot it.
In a related matter, Bojangles tried to get in on the chicken sandwich fever today by posting this tweet but then suddenly deleted it when people started making fun of the food for looking really dry pic.twitter.com/MziwWXZLhU

Keeps the beef coming, we are here for it. Well, not beef like the meat- you know what we mean.
