> I recently heard that a trip to Popeye's for a family of 3 recently cost $68 in Florida.

Just checked online.

8pc family meal of spicy white meat with large mash potatoes and gravy, one sweet tea, one purple lemonade, one chilled premium mango lemonade

=

$41.05

@ 1501 NW 20th St, Miami, FL 33142

Bring-your-own-liquids = $30.38

Either ordering at the counter is criminally expensive, or you were listening to someone who wanted to spend $68 at Popeye's in Florida so they could complain about spending $68 at Popeye's in Florida.

That 8pc 'family meal' feeds 2 people. The sweet teas don't count as food - they may as well be dumped down the sink.

Feeding a family of four would need 2 of those 8 piece meals, so $60.

My partner and I spent ~$70 CAD at popeyes the other day for two adults. I got a sandwich + fries + slaw, they got tenders, we both got fountain drinks.

that's about $50 USD.
