Others thought the fried chicken could be comforting enough to replace human companionship.

People have spent hours waiting in line, some making several attempts at actually getting a chance to buy the chicken and others tying up traffic.

Attempt number 5 at Popeyes Windsor...fail. Drive Thru closed at 9pm and line-up out the door. I'm starting to lose faith.
