Some jokes land and some don’t, but Chick-fil-A learned the hard way that Lemonade jokes are a definite no-no.
A fan noticed a Lemonade joke on a sign at one of the fast food chain’s Atlanta locations, “Lemonade Fresher Than Beyoncé’s,” posted it on Instagram, and soon the hive was going in.
Chick-fil-A’s Instagram has been flooded with bees, lemons, and users commenting, “F–K YO FOOD!”

Even fans on Twitter are coming for the chicken chain.
@WipeHomophobia Sorry #ChickfilA! #Beyonce's #Lemonade is sweetened with #love & #tolerance. You can't beat that! pic.twitter.com/OMITnK9Wdw

Why did ChickFilA put up a sign saying their lemonade is fresher than Beyoncé's? They don't know what they are getting themselves into

Let's give #ChickFilA a B for effort in that failed attempt to use Beyoncé to market their lemonade

Well, you tried it, Chik-fil-A. Let this be a lesson to always remember to put some respect on Beyoncé’s name.
