Pickles? And lemonade? Name a better combo, we'll wait. The sweet, tart tanginess of a sugary lemonade paired with the brininess and sour notes of pickle juice is practically a match made in heaven. It's an ideal marriage of flavors. And yesterday, Popeyes teased a look at—hopefully—its next menu drop.
No stranger to enticing customers with innovative menu items, Popeyes is continually innovating in the kitchen—from chocolate chip biscuits to its revered girl dinner, the chain keeps customers coming back for more. This rumored new addition is no exception.
Even though the rumored release date just so happens to be April Fool's Day, fans are still hopeful that this isn't just a prank.
"Mmmmm I’ve been doing this for years ….pickle juice ice cubes in my lemonade it’s outstanding," commented one person. "Not usually a pickle girl but twist my arm," said another.
"Please don’t be a joke. I would drink the hell out of this," one fan pleaded.
"April fools. But jokes on you… I’d drink it! 😂😂" commented another.
Instagram account Memezar picked up the news and made a post of its own. Popeyes, not rushing to give anything away quite yet, commented on the post, stating, "Y'all just gonna have to wait until 4/1 to see if we're fr 👀" Interestingly, comments on this post weren't quite as enthusiastic as on Popeyes'.
"I’ll take stupid s**t for 500 please," wrote one person. "How bout normal f*****g lemonade why y'all gotta complicate things 😭" commented another. One person seemed very anti-pickle lemonade, writing simply, "I’d rather die." Seems like not everyone is looking forward to the sweet 'n' salty combo... but we sure are!
Fingers crossed Popeyes' isn't just pulling our leg.
