The Collaboration that we DID NOT see coming

Since the Don Julio Tequila and Popeyes collaboration are still under wraps we have to wait until January 31, 2025.

Per Forbes, the partnership is big and something that we did not see coming at all! So we're guessing, is it tequila-infused dips? Tequila marinated fried chickens? Or something festive that will make us realize that the Don Julio Tequila and Popeyes collaboration is just the right collaboration for chicken-loving, booze-enjoying people out there!

Jokes aside, whatever the partnership will be, fans are expecting that the Don Julio Tequila and Popeyes duo will give us something that we are not expecting!
