“I’m gonna tell my kids this is the Original Chicken Sandwich,” the tweet read, along with a picture of the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich. (“Home of the Original Chicken Sandwich” is Chick-fil-A’s tagline.)

Popeyes relaunched its chicken sandwich earlier this month, after selling out of its stock following the initial launch in August. The fervor surrounding the sandwich has since sparked several incidents of traffic, fights, viral videos and, in some cases, extreme violence.
