A Chick-fil-A customer claimed that the chain served her Diet Coke multiple times despite stating she wanted regular due to her allergies.

We’ve seen fast food allergies go terribly awry many times on social media. In February, a man filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s after he was given cheese in his Big Mac, despite having a milk allergy, which ultimately led to a hospital trip.

Now, in a TikTok video that’s gone viral on the platform, a Chick-fil-A customer vented about an experience she’d had while dining at the chain. 

“Chick-fil-A, I need you to count your days… For real, count your days. The past three times I’ve ordered Chick-fil-A, they have given me Diet Coke when I asked for regular, which for most people is fine. However, I am allergic to aspartame. I will take the slightest sip of aspartame and 50 shades of f**ked up, for real.

“The first time it happened I was like, ‘OK, that’s fine, I’ll dump it, it’s fine, everything’s OK… The second time it happened I was like, ‘Wow, what are the odds that this happens twice? Chick-fil-A never messes up my order ever.’ The third time it happened, today, I went to a different Chick-fil-A because I was in a different part of town.”

Unfortunately for Grace, however, they still served the Diet Coke. 

People weigh in on Chick-fil-A allergy fail

“Someone who understands!! I also have the allergy, no one believes me!” one commenter said, sharing their own struggle. 

“My mother-in-law and brother-in-law are both allergic to aspartame, they said they just get headaches with it. I’d cry if I did, I don’t like regular soda at all. Hope you’re ok!”

“The headaches are seriously so bad. I think it’s the only time I’ve ever gotten migraines,” the video’s creator replied.

Some however, argued that she should be more forthright about her allergy, writing: “I would just make sure to tell them you are allergic and can not have Diet Coke. Should you have to? No. But just in case!”

Another Chick-fil-A customer was furious, after she was given a heart-shaped biscuit instead of the chain’s classic round biscuit.
