Turkey Legs Conquer Land of Mouse Ears

ORLANDO, Fla. — It made its humble debut at a single stand in the late 1980s next to Big Al’s Coonskin Caps in Frontierland. Slowly it spread — dripping, always dripping — beyond Walt Disney World here to Disneyland in California. In 2010, with their sales spiking, Disney rolled out related souvenirs: hats, pins, sweatshirts, T-shirts printed with the slogan “Nice & Juicy!” The Magic Kingdom has even started selling air fresheners with its scent for your car. Disney’s latest megahit is no ride. It’s a turkey leg.
Depending on sales over this busiest time of year at six of Disney’s North American theme parks, the company in 2013 is likely to serve up an astounding two million of its jumbo turkey legs — bulbous, chewy, piping hot drumsticks the size of Fred Flintstone’s forearm. That is 25 percent more than three years ago.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Have you seen how big industrial chickens are? With all the stuff they inject into them, the steroids and antibiotics, chickens get to the size of what turkeys should be.Goofyernmost wrote:I don't even want to meet up with a Turkey that big.
Makes you not want to eat American meat.

Some of you may be familiar with the Ellen Show and their support of the Gentle Barn out here in the Santa Clarita area. They have rescued a wide variety of animals, but sadly, some of the Turkeys they rescue happen to be crippled due to the fact that the birds that we eat are bred to be so heavy that their little (fat) legs can no longer support them
