minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38arrow-down1·4 months agoThat is a FUCK TON of chicken wings. Alexa tells me the wholesale price of chicken wings is $3.22 a pound and each pound is around 5 wings. So $1.5m / $3.22 = 465,838.5 pounds of wings. 2,329,193 wings. What did they charge her with? “Possession with intent to distribute”? LOL.
