A common complaint about Popeyes biscuits is that they’re too buttery, that’s not an issue I have with them, bring on the butter, but that original flavor is almost completely drowned out by an intensely sweet and overly perfumed strawberry flavor. In the time it took me to get from my nearest Popeyes to my apartment (only eight minutes), my biscuit had already sogged up leaving a sugary residue on my fingers as I picked up the biscuit for my first bite. It’s why a dozen donuts are packaged in a giant pink cardboard box, once sugar meets plastic, it sweats, making your food inedibly soggy. I realize that is a weird thing to point out, but sugary foods and plastic don’t mix. The biscuit is packaged in the same container (a paper cup with a plastic lid) Popeyes puts its side orders in.

Fast food fails are so common that we’ve written a whole article about the most boneheaded mistakes each have made. It also happens each time Taco Bell takes a much-loved menu staple and then just decides to take it away from us. It happened when McDonald’s introduced a way to order popular menu hacks over their app but still expected you to assemble them yourself (thanks McDonald’s for letting us do a thing we were already doing anyway). Too often a beloved fast food brand will have a great idea and then absolutely botch its rollout.
