When you hear the word “Popeyes,” what comes to mind? The cartoon character Popeye and his love for spinach, or the famous fast food chain?
In Family Feud Canada, a recent viral clip made many generations think about this particular question.
The host Gerry Dee asked the constants this $10,000 question during the sudden death round. The question was, “Name Popeye’s favorite food.”
One of the contestants, Eve Dubois immediately hits her buzzer, and answers with confidence,
“Chhhhiiiiiccckkkkeeennnnnnn” because she thought that the question was talking about the fast food chain. Sadly, the question was referring to the cartoon sailor from the 1960s and 70s.
Since this clip has been uploaded, many viewers have reacted to this viral video on social media.
While most people shook their heads at Dubois’ answers (and laughed at the same time), others felt that this question was unfair. According to the sample tweets from Today, many people thought that the question should’ve been “What is Popeye the Sailor’s (or the cartoon character’s) favorite food?”
Just when you thought that the Dubois family didn’t win any cash, Popeyes came to the rescue. The fast food chain reached out to the family on Twitter and offered them $10,000 worth of Popeye’s Chicken. Gotta love that chicken from Popeyes!
So, if you were in that situation, what would your answer be? Spinach or Chicken?
Popeyes was very smart to capitalize on this opportunity! Everyone loves when people get stuff for free, and considering the situation it creates a good brand image and publicity
