I see the chicken size post, and match you this pathetic excuse of ‘food’. US penny for scale.
Shrinkflation on top of greedflation. They’re just doing one thing after another to charge more for less.
So this is about kfc, so it’s clearly an example of a corporation being cheap af and diminishing quality. But like, on the lighter more social side of things, I dunno. This kind of speaks to the fact that as Americans we have a totally distorted view of how big animals are. Also, we have no concept of what reasonable portion sizes are. I think smaller pieces of fried chicken is probably a good thing for most of us healthwise lol. Ideally, it would reflect more responsible chicken farming. I mean, this is kfc, so I know that’s not the case here. But in general, I don’t see any real downsides to smaller pieces of fried chicken. We eat too much as it is lol.
KFC had hot wings for a while and this looks like one of them
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a chicken before but they are definitely not this small. This also isn’t a reasonable portion size bro that’s a penny.
You don’t see any downsides? If that’s really a chicken leg and not quail or pigeon or some other smaller bird, then KFC must be killing underage chickens for the legs to be that damn small.
Go to Church’s Chicken or Popeyes, or pretty much any other chicken place and the legs are easily twice as big and pretty clearly came from mature chickens.
Your reading comprehension needs some work. I explicitly said that this is clearly a case of diminishing quality, which could be attributed to the example you listed or any one of many other terrible corporate practices. Then I said in a social sense, I don’t see a downside to the general idea of Americans eating less fried chicken. I was elaborating past the original point of the post.
I’d be concerned if this was a drumstick from the regular bucket, but for all I know it’s a hot wing drumstick. Those are always small.
Not from US, so I don’t know gow big a penny is: can you put something next to it as reference?
Need a banana.
A US penny is almost the same size (.3 mm larger) as a €0.02 coin
This other thread on chicken inflation kinda bucks this trend but who’s really right?
or maybe they’re growing humongous chickens with teeny tiny bones?
Its like my thumb what the fuck
It came from a whole 12 piece bucket of what the fuck?
Toxic capitalism working as expected.
maybe they can’t use growth hormones anymore
they haven’t been allowed for poultry production since the 1950s
Interesting. I had just assumed they did but apparently they just get so big they can’t stand up because of selective breeding. Maybe they’re not using broiler chickens, then?
