Every single bit of this gets funnier.
A single fried chicken drumstick on a plate just big enough for it. You can "favorite" the item by clicking a heart. $1.28 asking price. The description guarantees freshness. It is hot and ready to eat.
Oddly, only 4 out of 5 stars. Even cheaper with a premium account. Can be delivered quickly!
Or make a plan to pick it up tomorrow. 
Want a subscription for one single fresh, fried chicken leg on the regular?
Add this single item to your order? 
Well anyway, are you interested in seeing things that are similar to a single fresh, fried chicken leg? Someone paid us to show them to you.

Almost everything about the Cutlass was a bit nuts and mostly didn't work properly but it was an incredibly cool aircraft from the "let's try this" era of jet design. Thanos always brings the great research so I highly recommend reading this whole thread.

Started playing Skycards for the first time. The way they game-ified my FlightRadar addiction is brilliant. I hope the person that pitched the idea got a whole very nice private island or something in their Christmas bonus this year.
