RECORD SALES OF CHICKEN WINGS DURING NASCAR EVENTS LEADS TO GLUT OF WINGLESS CHICKEN BODIES

“I love chicken wings, too,” said USDPT spokesperson Flicka Sperling. “But everybody forgets that we have to do something with the rest of the chicken.”
While they search for a solution to the surplus, the federal agency is stockpiling billions of chicken carcasses in underground salt caverns.
“We’re appealing to NASCAR fans to eat some nachos instead,” said Sperling.
