It's official: Chick-fil-A is dropping a Southern favorite from their menu next year, and people are losing their minds.

The Atlanta-based fastfood giant announced cole slaw will no longer be available to order by mid-January.

Cole slaw has been on Chick-fil-A’s menu since the chain's founding nearly 70 years ago.

Some people were devastated, to say the least.

Other people weren't too torn about Chick-fil-A's decision.

With the announcement came some comfort for die-hard Chick-fil-A fans. The company also released its official cole slaw recipe. Find the secret recipe here.
