We thought Popeyes had toyed with our emotions enough for one year,Watch Sexy urban legends season 1 episode 8 but we were wrong.
The fried chicken chain, which temporarily discontinued its wildly popular sandwich last month after running out of ingredients, suggested in a tweet on Thursday that customers simply buy a three-piece chicken tender, bring their own pickles and bun, and assemble the sandwich themselves.
The tweet, which is both a joke and no laughing matter, reads: "Try our new BYOB! It’s basically The Sandwich! Only no mayo. Or pickles. And you bring your own bun… Really it’s just three tenders…" In the video included in the tweet, people put slipshod sandwiches together with hamburger buns and, disturbingly, a hot dog bun.

The audacity! The gall! The lack of spicy sauce! For those of us who haven't even tasted the real sandwich yet, the tweet is downright cruel.

We hate to say it, but if you're truly desperate for Popeyes chicken sandwiched between two buns, making your own might not be the worst idea. For the sake of beleaguered Popeyes employees, though, we don't suggest taking a single bun and a Ziploc of pickles into your local Popeyes. Maybe take the chicken to go and do the assembly at home.
