Who loves good banter or Twitter beef? The answer is everyone. We love when rival companies or competitors roast each other on social media platforms. It allows everyone to have a good wholesome laugh and share their own opinions on who they think is most correct. I also love how it is based on almost no facts, but rather fueled by bias fans of the places. I think food companies do it best and even fast food restaurants, as they always deliver. (Get it?) I love a good pun and hopefully you all enjoy them too or this might be a long semester.
Anyways, I want to focus on a specific social media Twitter beef incident that happened recently between three fast food places involving the famous meal that is the glorious "Chicken Sandwich." Commonly being referred to as the "Chicken Sandwich War" It started with Popeye's releasing a tweeted photo of their new chicken sandwich with the caption "Chicken. Brioche. Pickles. New. Sandwich. Popeyes. Nationwide. So. Good. Forgot. How. Speak. In. Complete. Sandwiches. I mean, sentences." Now the other companies with chicken sandwiches just could not miss the opportunity to contest this claim. Chick-fil-A hopped in first to mention how their sandwich was the original and therefore the best one. Following this claim, Wendy's pointed out that these two fools were just fighting to see who had the second best chicken sandwich and that their dish was clearly the best. A lesser known player, Shake Shack entered the field by simply saying you knew where to find a chicken sandwich without all the beef which is just a brilliant play on words to be honest. The best part of all this though might actually be the replies they gave each other which were savage and very funny. Popeye's asked Chick-fil-A if they were okay and then roasted by Wendy's by saying they must have had one of their signature biscuits because their tweet was looking thirsty. Wendy's got them back by saying their food must be as dry as their jokes.
I love fun debates and insults like these when it is mostly out of fun.Personally, I think Popeye's won this interaction but bonus points for Shake Shack being the most clever. Also, to state my opinion on the matter as far as best chicken sandwich, I would have to go with Chick-fil-A. Let me know in the comments what sandwich you though was the best and if you enjoyed the banter too.
My absolute favorite thing to see on twitter is fast food restaurants, especially Wendy's, post savage tweets. They always make me laugh and it's brilliant on their end because it draws customers in. I haven't kept up with this twitter "beef" but have heard a little bit about it. I think it's hilarious and it is very good free advertising for all restaurants involved.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely agree that Chick-Fil-A has the best chicken sandwich!I don't follow "beef" on social media much, but whenever Wendy's get into it I know it Is going to be good. My favorite was when Ihop has released they planned to switch their name to Ihob. The amount of roasts, memes, and stabs taken by so many companies was very entertaining.
