"The NCAA basketball tournament is the second of two big annual events for chicken wings. (The first is the Super Bowl.) Wing prices and production run in predictable cycles each year, ramping up for the NFL playoffs and championship game in early February, then again for college basketballs frenzied tournament a month and a half later.

American consumers have relatively predictable patterns when it comes to meat consumption. They buy more in the spring and summer, experts note, so they can grill or entertain, or while theyre on vacation. Certain types of meats peak at different time of year: Think turkey on Thanksgiving or ham for Christmas.

But with society in lock down because of the novel coronavirus and the NCAA tournament canceled, thats left a whole bunch of wings lying around, and now theyve flooded the market. Ergo, we have a giant national surplus of chicken wings."

Note these are actual chicken wings. Not mechanically separated breast meat formed into shapes. Prices are near levels not seen since 2000.

I remember when wings were lower middle class/poor people's food. Then they got trendy.

Yeah, back before my time they used to be the part of the chicken a lot of people threw out. Now everybody wants the wings and the breasts.

The thighs are actually the best part of the chicken

I wouldn't expect them to pass any savings on to the consumer.

Restaurants are customers too. The producer has to lower their prices to get them to buy and resell at their current prices.

Why would you expect them to drop their prices?

Helping the nation handle its surplus of wings is a national duty. Do your part America.
