Launching the unique campaign will begin with a Times Square ball drop that counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until 2021. The accompanying “at least we still have the sandwich” message also kicks off a one day promotion at Popeyes that sees the chain offer free delivery on the Popeyes app August 19.
