BYOB and A Shot For Me: I Think The Popeye's Chicken Sandwich Craze Is Stupid

Welcome all Wine-os, Liquor Enthusiasts, and plain old curious creatures to BYOB And A Shot For Me!

I am your host, Akayla Reynolds.

Alright ya’ll.

As you probably know, Reniece recently debuted her personal space on the blog called The Remix. If you haven’t read about her salacious first time on tinder then I suggest you catch up on all the tea by clicking here! 

As you’ve probably already guessed, BYOB And A Shot For Me is my personal space on the blog to talk about whatever controversial (or regular ol’) topics I feel like and we get to slap a disclaimer on there that my opinions don’t reflect the opinions of the brand of the blog itself, blah blah blah. 

Each blog post, we’ll highlight what’s in my cup and you guys should feel free to leave me a comment detailing what’s in yours. This week I’m drinking… Arizona Iced Tea. 

Lackluster, I know, but the day before I was drinking Rosé so you guys gotta work with me 😭. 

Ya dawg has a real job now and I can’t be throwing ‘em back every night but next week, the liquor Olympics will begin. Also, if you’re not a drinker pull up to the party with your water bottle in hand, we don’t judge. 

OK, enough about the drinks!

Today’s topic is Black People and those stupid Popeye’s Chicken sandwiches. 

I know that just by discussing this situation, it’s fueling interest and free promotion for Popeye’s but you guys are really doing a lot.  Peep the foolishness below.

A SAVIOR???!!?

Many of my friends, and even my beloved blog partner, have ventured to savor the flavor of the elusive Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich. I’ve seen tweets, videos, and Instagram posts detailing the “exotic” flavor of the sandwich. 

Ya’ll know it’s just regular ol’ Popeye’s chicken on some bread, right? People are going crazy just to try this sandwich to be apart of the trend. It’s genius on Popeye’s part but you guys are so follow fashion. Not anything and everything that people do, you need to do too. 

But I won’t knock you completely. It’s your right to eat and try whatever you want, but genuine interest for the sandwich apart from the social media storm is very few and far between. And I am a tad biased. I am a Chick Fil A girl, hands down. I’m sure at least 75 % of my thigh jiggle is Chick Fil A nuggets and waffle fries. So I can see how my disdain could prevent me from trying a sandwich that apparently can change my life. 

I just feel that if we took half our commercial and financial power, and invested it back into small black owned businesses than we could really flex our economic power in a time when it’s easier and easier to pull the wool over our eyes. 

Invest your dollars in communities that invested in you.

That’s all I have for ya’ll today. Join me next time on BYOB and A Shot For Me. Maybe I’ll have some of that Rosé and start talking about my love life like Reniece 😂.
