Popeyes in New Orleans celebrating Zion Williamson with 6F 10In box of Chicken, Is this Peak America?

Popeyes is selling a box of chicken that is 6 feet and 10 inches long to celebrate likely No. 1 NBA draft pick Zion Williamson.

“There’s been a lot of speculation and buzz around New Orleans and their likelihood to bring home a big name, with a wingspan of 6 feet and 10 inches, as their No. 1 draft pick,” Popeyes said in a statement.

The massive box of wings, biscuits, and fries will be available at a Popeyes location in New Orleans on Thursday for $74.69.

Popeyes is celebrating the NBA draft with a box of chicken fit for a basketball star.

On Wednesday, the chicken chain announced that it would be launching the Wingspan Box on Thursday to celebrate the NBA draft. For one day – Thursday, June 20 – at a single location on Canal Street in New Orleans, Popeyes will sell a box of chicken that is almost seven feet long.

“There’s been a lot of speculation and buzz around New Orleans and their likelihood to bring home a big name, with a wingspan of 6 feet and 10 inches, as their No. 1 draft pick,” Popeyes said in a statement.

18-year-old Zion Williamson is almost universally presumed to be the New Orleans Pelicans’ No. 1 draft pick. The 6-foot-7 athlete has an arm span of 6 feet and 10 inches.


The Popeyes box will contain 77 boneless wings, 11 biscuits, and 11 servings of fries. The New Orleans location will be selling the boxes for $74.69 as supplies last.


How do you even order this? It won't fit in your normal vehicle.

:o :o :o

WOAT KFC in Shambles

Seriously, as a citizen of Canada, I must say, y'all crazy and amazing simultaneously.

P.S: No drink? FOH

If they didn't criminally lack the drinks(one 2L bottle to mount each corner) to prop this box up to 6"10, the advertised height would have made sense.

Popeyes tenders still bomb but overall they took a dip since burger king bought them. You get like 2 sauce per order plus honey thats enough for me.

I used to eat at Popeyes quite a bit, then I cut down on my garbage intake.

Still like fried chicken a lot, just don't have it.
