Summary
Popeyes just dropped its first Irish location—and it sparked a frenzy. Fans camped overnight, including Karl who waited 26 hours for a lifetime free chicken deal, and Brian, a lifelong US fan also chasing the same perk. Even a newbie, Ben, got swept into the madness. The Mayor praised the 80 new jobs, while Popeyes execs called the turnout typical. But when the chicken finally arrived? Critics were underwhelmed—calling it “grand.” It’s a wild reminder of how hype can turn a simple sandwich into a national obsession.
