Do NOT Eat the Chicken Wings at Papa John's

Or at least don't try to save them in the fridge for later. Eat them all at one time if you can, after reading this.

It's been a semi-regular Friday night ritual for me to do an online order for a BBQ Hawaiian Chicken pizza (that is, chicken + a sweet BBQ sauce + bacon + onions + pineapples) from Papa John's, mostly for the fact that it will last me about a day and a half and because the pizza is damn good. An added plus is that I don't have to call anyone or go anywhere. I just go to the site, put in the order and some guy shows up at my door about 45 minutes later with a pipin' hot pizza. [On a side note, I have a deep respect for pizza delivery people. I know, I know...they get gas money, etc. Yeah, but most people don't really tip them that well because they don't see it equitable with someone waiting on you hand and foot at a restaurant. You think the guy at the restaurant filling your glass of hooch every five minutes has it bad, this guy sacrifices his own car and survival to drive to my house and bring me pizza. This is, of course, the American way.]

Back to my story. This week they had some deal about their new wings. They've finally caught up with the rest of the other pizza places. So I ordered those in addition to my regular pizza. Today, after a long day of sleeping in, getting my hair cut, and washing my car, I decided that I was going to finish off the last two pieces of pizza I ordered yesterday. I figured since there were only three wings left, I may as well eat those, too. I had the leg. Then I tried to pick up a wing, and this photo is what I got. Imagine some toxic greasy barbecue flavored bubble gum. I'm not sure what this substance is that congealed on the tin foil, but it is anything but edible, I'm sure. Needless to say, it went in the trash and I will not be ordering wings from them again. They weren't that good to begin with.
