A Tennessee man is unable to get his hands on the new Popeye's chicken sandwich and is taking massive action as a result.
Craig Barr filed a lawsuit against Popeye's for "false advertising" and "deceptive business practices" by the company.
The man claims he has spent "countless hours" driving all over trying to track down the chicken sandwich. The sandwich was released on August 12, but has been sold out nationwide since August 12.
There are people selling the viral sandwich on eBay with a "buy it now" price for as much as $20,000.
Another group of men are selling the chicken sandwiches outside of Popeye's for five times the cost of the sandwich.

Jose Cil, the CEO of Restaurant Brands International, who owns Popeye's, said they never expected the sandwich to "break the internet" during an interview with CNN.
"We had the entire nation really excited about the Popeyes' chicken sandwich and as a result we ran out much sooner than we anticipated."
So many people are so desperate to get the hands on this chicken sandwich. At Think Americana, we stand firmly with Chick-fil-A. This sandwich might be good, but it's not Chick-fil-A good.
