Upon releasing their chicken sandwich, fast-food chain Popeye’s created an uproar on social media. Heated debates between fast-food fans have turned into a full out #ChickenSandwichWar on twitter. Luckily for Popeye’s, the war and the many mentions of their chicken sandwich on Twitter have generated an estimated $23 million in advertisements for the company.
