Red Lobster Sales Skyrocket After Beyonce's 'Formation' Shout-Out

Beyonce's new single "Formation" has people dancing all the way to Red Lobster.

On Sunday -- the day after Beyonce dropped the powerful new song  -- the restaurant chain’s sales were up 33% over the last year, CNN Money reports . In addition to addressing police brutality and Hurricane Katrina, “Formation” also name-drops the seafood chain in the lyric, “When he f**k me good, I take his ass to Red Lobster."

Red Lobster responded on Twitter  by referring to its famous appetizer “Cheddar Bey Biscuits,” though many Twitter users were less than impressed .

The chain’s social media account took the criticism in stride, though.

Right after the video dropped, social media was filled with people talking about heading to Red Lobster -- though we couldn’t be entirely sure if they were serious. But now we have the sales numbers to suggest that they totally were.
