You know it!



Good time for me to be out of town. Hopefully, everything is back in order for SWGE-megadon the next weekend. Thanks for all of the hard work to the behind the scenes people.

Oh it better be in working order for that!

Chicken is FAR cheaper than beef or pork.
Americans ate an estimated 28 Billion chicken wings in 2016, and that number has risen considerably since then.
At 4 four wing sections per bird that means that the poultry industry has to figure out what to do with the seven billion birds attached to those wings every year and KFC, Popeye's, Chick Fil A, and the other chicken chop houses can't use up that many birds so chicken is the low priced meat of the nation.
Disney is simply doing what they have been doing best lately.
Going cheap no matter what the customers want or like.

Its funny considering wings became a thing due to being the cheap left overs from the rest of the chicken.

Yup.....
The Anchor Bar in Buffalo, home of the Buffalo Wings, used them to make soup because they were a cheap source of chicken broth until they discovered people would actually pay to eat those scraps.

I am surprised Epcot saw an increase and that the DHS increase wasn't a bit higher.

It's crazy to see how much effect Pandora had on AK. Curious to see this report next year after Galaxy Edge opens at DS.
