If you’ve ever reached the end of your fries only to find your dip has already disappeared, Popeyes UK has heard your cries. The iconic New Orleans–born chicken chain has officially supersized some of its most-loved sauces – introducing the brand-new Mega Dip and Big Dip ranges. After going viral across TikTok and Instagram, these giant dips are now available nationwide and here to stay.
This major launch marks a UK first for quick service restaurants, giving fans the chance to dunk, drizzle and fully drench their favourite Popeyes dishes with extra-large portions of the brand’s cult dips. It’s the kind of chaotic energy food lovers have been begging for – and Popeyes has delivered.
What’s New? Mega Ranch, Mega Kickback & Mega Cheese
For the first time, three of Popeyes UK’s signature dips have been levelled up into jumbo-sized cups:
-
The Mega Ranch – a creamy, tangy classic that fans already can’t get enough of.
-
The Mega Kickback – smoky, tangy and packed with a hint of pickle-inspired heat.
-
The Mega Cheese – a warm, velvety, festive cheddar sauce that’s already a winter favourite.
Perfect for pairing with Popeyes’ legendary Shatter Crunchin’ chicken, Cajun fries or even their signature biscuits, the Mega Dips are designed for maximum flavour with minimum limitations.
Social Media Can’t Look Away – 4.6 Million Views and Counting
Popeyes’ dip explosion has been dominating social feeds since trial launches rolled out last month. In just a few weeks, the brand has sold 115,000 portions of its Mega and Big Dips – almost enough to fill an entire swimming pool.
Food lovers have been sharing reactions, “Mukbang-style” taste tests and comedic commentary, racking up more than 4.6 million views. TikTok users have called the dips everything from “a dream come true” to “dangerously drinkable,” with one fan confessing:
“Booked annual leave to take a trip to Popeyes.”
Even customers in the USA and The Netherlands have been commenting with pure food envy, begging for the Mega Dips to reach their shores next.
Introducing the Big Dips Range
Not quite ready for Mega-level commitment? Popeyes UK has also launched Big Dips – a generous 160ml version of the same iconic sauces. Big enough to share (or not), they’re ideal for anyone craving just a little bit more saucy goodness.
Thanks to overwhelming demand, both Mega Dips and Big Dips are now available at all 100 Popeyes UK locations.
What Popeyes UK Says About the Launch
Dave Hoskins, Head of Food at Popeyes UK, explained the hype:
“We know how much our fans love our huge range of dips, so we’re excited to give them even more to enjoy with their meal. Almost 20,000 litres of sauce has been dunked and drizzled over Popeyes orders in the last three weeks!”
He added that the idea was inspired by global love for oversized dips – and that these sauces are the perfect partner for Popeyes’ famously crispy chicken.
