ROCHESTER, NY — A groundbreaking new study from the University of Rochester’s Department of What the Fuck Is Going On has confirmed what millions of Americans have suspected for years: there is absolutely no goddamn reason chicken wings should cost this much. Researchers say their findings were consistent across all test environments, including bars, takeout menus, and Wegmans — which continues to sell a prepared food item labeled as “wings” despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

The report noted that wing prices have somehow remained sky-high even after supply chain issues eased, suggesting a “deeply unholy alliance” between bar owners, poultry suppliers, and whatever demonic force runs DoorDash. The study also found that other cuts of chicken have not seen anywhere near the same price inflation, leading scientists to conclude that “somebody’s fucking lying.”

Economists predict prices will not drop until Americans are required to take Ozempic through RFK’s new “No Fatties” initiative which will be rolled out following the government shutdown.
