Great, now go after the buyers.

Some local fast food franchise owner knew enough to not ask questions about discount meat being sold from a school district van.

Did she sell them? The article doesn't say she did.

Literally hundreds of tons of chicken wings. Imagine 10 trucks full.

I don’t think she ate them all.

I know she's not going to be eating at home for a while

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Technically, she will be, just not the home she would prefer.

What would you do with 1.5 million in chicken besides eating a little and selling the rest.

You could literally eat like a millionaire for a while so long as you have a few deep freezers.

Realistically, she filled her freezer and sold a ton of them for 25¢ on the dollar to other people who filled their freezer and sold them off for 50¢ on the dollar.

I wouldn't know, but somehow I doubt millionaires eat $1.5 million worth of school cafeteria grade chicken.

And without digging into it, I bet it's far more than a few deep freezers worth.

You could fit 11000 cases of wings in a few deep freezers if you tried hard enough.

The joke is she had a net worth of over $1.5m due to the value of the chicken, so eating anything would be eating like a millionaire.

A chicken wing is a chicken wing and it don't matter if you got $5 or $5 million. I know for a fact that I would still eat Totino's pizza(pizza that is like $1.50 per.) if I were a billionaire

Fair, I get ya now

The articles doesn’t say anything about what happened to the chicken
