On Sunday (16 Apr), Texas Chicken Singapore gave customers a free ‘chicken bag’ for every purchase of Chick Deal as part of its 13th anniversary celebrations.
Despite limiting each customer to one redemption, the quirky accessory ran out of stock relatively early in the day.
However, some netizens have seemingly found similar chicken bags for sale on e-commerce sites like Shopee and Taobao.

While certainly not free, the chicken bags are available at relatively affordable prices that are cheaper than the Texas Chicken meal required to redeem them.
Though many customers were disappointed that they did not manage to secure the chicken bags from Texas Chicken, some netizens have found alternative ways of getting the bags.
According to them, similar-looking bags are available on e-commerce websites like Shopee, Taobao, and AliExpress.
A cursory search on Shopee returned listings of similar bags, with prices from about S$8.50.

However, the listings were all from Mainland China, which means customers would likely have to pay fees for the bags to be shipped to Singapore.
Similar listings can also be found on the Chinese e-commerce site Taobao, with the bags going at very affordable prices.
