Is someone at Popeyes pregnant? The whole “craving a pickle” thing is in full swing at the restaurant chain known for its Louisiana-style fried chicken. Yesterday, the brand launched a Popeyes Pickle Menu to bring that crunchy, vinegared cucumber to your tray in many different ways. And in a beautifully all-in commitment gesture, the flagship restaurant in Times Square was pickled, with everything turned bright green inside and out—and even an ASMR booth for getting intimate with that crunch.

What new pickle-themed items are on Popeyes' menu?

There are four new items to satisfy every pickle desire you may have. They include:

The pickle glaze sandwich: Take the regular crispy chicken sandwich and coat the chicken in a zesty pickle-flavored glaze, then toss some thick-cut pickles on top. Yup. I'm definitely trying that.

The pickle glaze bone-in or boneless wings: The same treatment with the pickle-flavored glaze is delivered to the wings.

Fried pickles: Yes, thank you. Pickle chips are battered in Popeyes seasoning and then deep fried and served with a side of ranch.

Pickle lemonade: Innovation in a cup. It makes sense: the acrid citrus of lemonade meets the vinegar of pickles along with enough sugar to make this refreshing. Question: will it be pink, yellow or green? You’ll have to order it to find out.

Where can you get these pickle items?

At participating restaurants nationwide and on the Popeyes website and app.

How long will Popeyes' pickle menu be available? 

The company’s website announcement only says that the pickle items will be around “for a limited time,” so maybe that’s just code for “keep ordering it and we’ll make it permanent” - who knows?

Do we need to take a pregnancy test?

No, but we recommend adding an ice cream run afterward for full enjoyment.
