Summer Concerts & Chicken Fingers & Zippin: A Love Story

Written by Bonnie Milam | Aug 3, 2023 1:00:00 PM

This summer’s concert season is likely to be the biggest ever. With pent-up demand for live events, Live Nation saw ticket sales 73% higher than last year just in the first quarter. The biggest festivals and artists have been touring at venues that offer Zippin-powered stores. Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Ed Sheeran, Drake, Luke Combs, and many others have drawn tens of thousands of fans to see them perform. These fans also get the opportunity to experience Zippin.

With Zippin, fans don’t have to wait in line for food and drink. They shop checkout-free. After taping a card, they simply take what they want and zip out, often in just 30 seconds. Traditional concessions have long lines for ordering and checking out, so concert-goers risk missing once-in-a-lifetime moments. Can you imagine being stuck in line instead of experiencing the 2.3 magnitude “Swift Quake” caused by enthusiastic fans? With Zippin, there’s no missing the music or the resulting seismic activity. 

During a recent Taylor Swift event, thousands of hungry fans shopped the new Zippin Walk-Up at Arrowhead Stadium. The checkout-free stand offered not just drinks, but a variety of hot foods. And it turns out, Swifties love chicken fingers. It was the most popular item by far, making up almost 25% of overall sales.

We love Swifties, chicken fingers, and all the concert-goers who shop checkout-free with Zippin. So just for fun, and with a little help from LLMs, we composed this song as a tribute to them all, to the tune of Love Story. Enjoy!

 

[Verse 1]

We were both hun-gry, dipping sauce dreams,

I ordered chicken fingers, you did the same it seems,

We locked eyes at the Walk-Up, my heart began to race,

With every bite I took, I knew it was the perfect taste.

 

[Chorus]

Chicken fingers, please be mine,

I'll love you 'til the end of dine,

You're crispy, golden, and divine,

Our love is like a foodie shrine.

 

[Verse 2]

You're the ranch to my barbecue,

Together, there's nothing we can't chew,

Shopping’s so quick at the Zippin stand  

Zippin out with chicken fingers in our hand.

 

[Chorus]

Chicken fingers, please be mine,

I'll love you 'till the end of dine,

You're crispy, golden, and divine,

Our love is like a foodie shrine.

 

[Bridge]

They say opposites attract, it's true,

You're the tender to my crunchy crew,

With you, my taste buds come alive,

In this fast-food love, we'll thrive.

 

[Verse 3]

When we're apart, I long for you,

Wishing we could share a box for two,

I'll take a bite and close my eyes,

Imagining you by my side.

 

[Chorus]

Chicken fingers, please be mine,

I'll love you 'till the end of dine,

You're crispy, golden, and divine,

Our love is like a foodie shrine.

 

[Outro]

Chicken fingers, you're my delight,

Together, we'll take flight,

In this finger-lickin' sweet affair,

With you, life's saucy and rare.
