Perhaps mocking the trend of labeling pets as Emotional Support Animals to get them onto flights, or perhaps just responding to holiday-season stressful airport crowds, Popeye’s is now offering a special “Emotional Support Chicken.”
Fried chicken, that is, packed up in a colorful special package with a handle that makes it easy to get it on-board—if you’re leaving from Philadelphia’s Terminal C, the only place the special box is being offered.
Labeling on the box carries the joke a bit further: “This chicken provides comfort and nourishment during stressful air travel. Unlike other chicken, it is marinated in real Louisiana spices for 12 hours and must be permitted to fly without restriction. Do not leave unattended, as Popeyes is not responsible for lost or stolen chicken.”
