They tried something like that already - breeding chickens with a dozen legs.

Problem was, nobody could catch one to find out how they tasted.

LOL

Part of it is people to process the chicken, supply and demand.

Wings come in 40 pound cases.  Consider $120/case. Easy, now we have 40 orders of one pound each.  Cost of goods for each order is $3.00, plus a very small amount for sauce and garnish. Depending your target food cost, sell price is $12, for 25% food cost target, maybe $12.50 to cover the extras.

Wings are now reaching $140 per case.  That's $14 sell price to meet that target margin.   Some places are not offering wings at the moment.

That's a lot for wings.  The businesses who have a wing-based business are really feeling it. A food service representative told me he thought Wing Stop might not make it when this happened a few years back. 

Avocados went to $99 per case a couple of years, up from $32.  We stopped guacamole until the price came back down.

If the parsley farmer doesn't pay his bills will they garnish his wages?

Don't know about that, but if millennials don't get their avocado toast someone will have a rough day.

I just find it odd that the news seems to be reporting that EVERYTHING will either be or is in shortage..... Computer chips, gas, chicken wings, what next, are taquitos going to suddenly be hard to find?

Ssssh!  I've got a freezer full right now, don't tell anyone!

Is this really needed? Up until now this thread has been full of jokes that we can all laugh about together (or groan, in the case of Scott Holtzman's brutal one-liner that I'm definitely going to borrow).

Why post a joke that divides the group into "people who are the butt of the joke" and "everyone else"? Isn't it better when we can all laugh together?

Guacamole on a bagel - existed before generational labels.

I'm happy to throw know-it-all young'uns under the bus, just like I did the old, boring folks 40 years ago..

edit ps:  I'm ambivalent on the chicken wings but if there's a coffee crisis... look out.

I've learned that some of the most enjoyable people to be around are ones that can laugh at themselves-even when that means they are the butt of a joke about stereotypes.

Last week at a youth meeting, one of our speakers made fun of the stereotypical way he handled his very first solo pastoral hospital visit.  It won the kids over to him immediately.  We all have our quirks-that's what makes life interesting.  I have a room set up for electronics tinkering-my boys call it my "nerd room".  Should I be offended?

Life is too short to take yourself seriously.

Surely you forgot the "sarcasm" tag.
