HOUSTON (KIAH) — How many of you have gone to the drive-thru at a fast-food joint and said, “I don’t know,” when asked what you’d like to order? Show of hands!

Well, Popeyes is trying out a new menu item called the “I Don’t Know Meal” for people who can’t decide what to get.


Popeyes has dubbed it “the perfect meal when your partner doesn’t know what to eat.”

When you pull up to the drive-thru window and ask your companion, “What do you want?” and the answer is, “I don’t know,” you can respond with, “Okay, great. I’ll get you that then.”

What’s in the ‘IDK meal’?

So what did you just order? The “I Don’t Know Meal” is Popeyes’ most popular menu item: a chicken sandwich, and you get a bonus “premium lemonade” for free when you order online or through their app.

It’s available for $3.99 for a limited time at participating locations, via the company’s reward program.

The Popeyes chicken sandwich kicked off the chicken sandwich war in August 2019. It sold out two weeks after its August debut and didn’t return until November 2019. Since then, the chicken sandwich competition in the fast-food industry has heated up.
