Battle of the brands, who has the best chicken sandwich?

August 20, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

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.

Which had Popeyes and Wendy’s going back and forth in a little spat.

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

Which backfired…

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.

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