This Is The Most Popular Chicken Sandwich In America Right Now
If you thought that we left the fast food chicken sandwich wars back in 2019—when Popeyes broke the internet with its first-ever take on the trend—you would be wrong. At least now that Yelp has revived the convo... a whole six years later. This week, the review site released its official ranking of the best chicken sandwich chains in the U.S.—and Popeyes didn't even make the top three. "As major players double down on tasty innovations, it's clear that America's appetite for fried chicken sandwiches is only growing," Yelp revealed in an official statement. "Searches on Yelp were up 125% for 'chicken sandwich' in June 2025 compared to June 2019, when the chicken sandwich craze first took off." The Yelp team scoured the ratings on more than 100 historical chains—all of which operate in multiple states and received specific reviews on about their chicken—to narrow down the final list. It's not just the fact that Popeyes barely cracked the top 5 that's so surprising, but hey, I'll let you be the ultimate judge when you read the rankings below. 1. Chick-fil-A 2. Dave's Hot Chicken 3. Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers 4. Shake Shack 5. Popeyes 6. Habit Burger & Grill 7. Denny's 8. Wingstop 9. McDonald's 10. Zaxby's Beyond the top 10, Jack in the Box, Dairy Queen, Slim Chickens, Burger King, and Wendy's trailed shortly behind. Sonic, Bojangles, KFC, Arby's, and Church's Chicken made the top 20. "Popeye's and McDonald's appear in the top five in every region, with McDonald's consistently landing in the top spot or close to it," Yelp explained. "Wingstop, known for its signature wing flavors, is another standout, ranking in the top five in every region as well." The site also argued that Zaxby's "holds strong" in the South and Midwest, while Chick-fil-A has made its undeniable mark in the South and Northeast. "Consumers are drawn to the premium ingredients and variety of sauces," Yelp added. Your move, Popeyes....

5-year-old goes on $3K online shopping spree while parents are asleep: ‘Currently on the phone crying to Amazon'
While the parents are away, the kids will shop. Parents of a little 5-year-old boy learned the hard way to never leave their child unattended with their phone after waking up to an over $3,000 Amazon order — that they didn't make. In a viral TikTok video posted by the mom of the little online shopper, her husband is obviously shocked, questioning his sneaky son — who sat on the couch between his brother and sister quite unbothered — how he managed to rack up such a wildly high bill. 'You bought seven cars on Amazon. You spent over $3,000 on Amazon today. How did you do that? You are in so much trouble.' The clip cuts to the Amazon order that consisted of what looks like a little kid's Christmas list to Santa, and then a hilarious shot of the happy kid happily online shopping with overlay text that reads: 'Living life – happily scrolling and checking out while the rest of the house is sleeping.' The little shopper's mom captioned her video, 'and casually had another $700 of items in the cart ready to check out with before we caught him. i'm currently on the phone crying to amazon – my husband is on the phone crying with our bank…' The comments on the TikTok video are just as hilarious as one would imagine. 'I'm just jealous you had enough in your account for all that. My card would've been declined so quickly.' 'Can we get a haul?' 'God forbid a girl have a little retail therapy.' 'He took Christmas in July to a whole new level.' While the parents of this young boy can chalk up his sneaky spending to him not knowing exactly what he was doing — other parents are not taking it so lightly on their child's spending habits. One frustrated New Jersey mom is putting her foot down when it comes to her teen daughters' frivolous spending. Instead of being the 'Bank of Mom' for her girls, she is teaching them the value of a dollar by forcing them to use their own money to pay for things like food deliveries, manicures or 'another crop top that looks exactly like every other crop top' they already have in their closets. 'They'll DoorDash Starbucks every day if I let them.' Similar to the parents of the 5-year-old Amazon shopper, kids are racking up bills by making in-app purchases on things like Meta VR headsets or Fortnite 'digital currency.'

Mom Cuts Ties with Free Babysitter After She Chops '8 Inches' Off Daughter's Hair Without Permission
A single mom is at odds with her neighbor, who offered to watch her 6-year-old daughter for free However, when the mom came home one night, she noticed that the neighbor had cut off nearly "8 inches" of her daughter's hair The mom was shocked that the neighbor didn't ask if it was okay and ended their babysitting agreementA woman turned to the Reddit community for advice after a shocking incident with her neighbor left her without childcare. As a single mom working evening shifts at the hospital, she shares how her neighbor's offer to babysit her 6-year-old daughter for free seemed like 'a godsend since daycare costs are insane.' For two weeks, everything went smoothly, until one night, she returned home to discover her daughter's long, curly hair had been chopped off. 'I came home and found my daughter had been given a full haircut. Like, chopped off 8 inches of her beautiful curly hair without asking me first,' she wrote in the since-deleted post. The neighbor claimed the elementary schooler had asked for the haircut and that she just 'wanted to help,' but the mom was devastated. 'I wanted to be there for that moment, you know?' she explains, her disappointment palpable. She adds that her daughter's hair 'grows super slowly and this was her first time ever getting it cut,' emphasizing just how important the milestone was to her. To make matters worse, the haircut was far from professional, only adding to the mom's frustration. When she confronted her neighbor about it, the conversation quickly turned tense. 'When I told my neighbor I was upset, she got defensive and said she was just trying to help. She said I should be grateful for free childcare instead of complaining,' the mom recounted. Feeling unheard and frustrated, she made the difficult decision to end the babysitting arrangement. 'I told her I'd find other arrangements and she called me ungrateful. Now I'm scrambling to find new childcare I can actually afford,' she admitted. Soon after, the poster's own mother weighed in, suggesting she may have overreacted. 'My mom thinks I overreacted since it's just hair and the neighbor meant well,' she shared. Still, she can't help but feel like her neighbor crossed a line. 'I am thankful and maybe overreacted a bit in that situation but I still feel like she should ask me before doing something like this,' she explained, seeking validation from the Reddit community. The post quickly garnered attention, with commenters chiming in to offer support and perspective. One user writes, 'I can kind of see both sides but she should have definitely asked you! You're the mum and that's your daughter.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The commenter suggested that even if the little girl wanted the haircut, the neighbor could have handled things differently, writing, 'I feel like she could've steered the conversation saying that we could talk with your mum and figure it out. Or we could look up some styles in the internet and we can ask your mum to take you on the weekend.' The original poster echoed the sentiment, replying, 'That's exactly what I think. There were so many ways she could have handled it better. Even a quick text would have been something. Thanks for the support!' As she navigates the fallout, the mom is left balancing gratitude for the help she received with the pain of losing a special moment with her daughter. Read the original article on People
