With 23 Grand Slam tennis championships already on her mantle, there is no dispute that Serena Williams is the GOAT, or greatest of all time. But in spite of her endless accomplishments, it's safe to say Serena never truly lived before yesterday.
November 17 will hence force be remembered as the day that Serena not only first tasted the iconic Popeyes chicken sandwich but celebrated her second anniversary with it.
That's right: Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, gifted his wife a taste test of the sandwich to mark their second year of wedded bliss. Along for the ride was the couple's adorable 2-year-old daughter, Olympia, who having witnessed an event such as this, is no doubt bound for greatness.
But not all went according to plan. As Serena recorded Alexis returning to the car with Popeyes bag in hand, he reported back some truly tragic news to his wife: "They are out of pickles." Rocked to her core, Serena dedicated an entire slide to protesting this travesty to her Instagram Story: "OUT Of Pickles!!!!!"
However, that did not deter her from giving the sandwich a try and it's safe to say she was impressed. "Have I known life before this day?" Serena asked—on her own wedding anniversary. Iconic.
And her genuine response—she closed her eyes to realllly enjoy it—tells us that Justin Bieber really needs to refine his palette. After recently giving the sandwich a try, he declared it "not worth the hype." And Biebs had pickles on his sandwich, too.
Even though Serena is the closest thing we have to royalty on this side of the pond, it appears that even she couldn't get her hands on the chicken sandwich before it sold out for what seemed like the longest three months ever. Oprah also came up short, and her best friend Gayle tried 15 times in one day to find one but failed. Thankfully, order was finally restored to the universe when the sandwich returned to Popeyes' permanent menu in October. Now, it could also be taking its rightful place as the anniversary present of the moment.
