It seems the days of Styrofoam cups at Chick-fil-A are soon to be long gone—and customers aren’t happy about it. The restaurant is doing away with these beloved cups and replacing them with more environmentally friendly options, but they may be losing some customer loyalty in turn. Following the controversy over buns that reportedly tasted like tires, it could be the last straw for some.
TikToker Aleesha Thomas recently posted a video ranting about the recent change, garnering hundreds of comments from Chick-fil-A diehards who feel her pain. Find all of the details below.
For years, fans have flocked to this fast food chicken restaurant for a few things: amazing sandwiches, beloved drinks, and—believe it or not—the specific pleasure of a Styrofoam cup. But all that changed recently, as Chick-fil-A has made the pivot to paper cups, which cause less harm to the environment.
One TikToker, @aleesha.thomas, recently expressed her distress over this change on the platform. “I had to pull over because I’m distraught,” she said. “What is this Chick-fil-A? Where is my Styrofoam cup? That was my comfort cup. That’s how I knew my Dr. Peppers would be extra crispy.”
