One crafty Southern cook out there is offering social-media shoppers a disturbing — if potentially delicious — home-cooked meal.
Behold, the “chicken bear”: a teddy bear made out of chicken parts that, yes, can be cooked.
Maggie from Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, has stitched together chicken carcasses in the form of a teddy bear and is selling them on Facebook Marketplace for $35. (If you buy your own chicken, it’s $25.)
“EDIBLE AND CAN BE COOKED; GREAT FAMILY ACTIVITY,” the post reads, which has since been removed from Facebook Marketplace. And it does “bear” a striking and horrifying resemblance to a beloved children’s toy. But the nightmarish meal idea lives on in infamy on social media, garnering Twitter retweets from Chrissy Teigen, YouTube star Tyler Oakley and Dictionary.com: “A teddy bear is defined as a toy bear. Please remember this in the future.” A woman of many talents, Maggie writes in the post, “Can also make clothes.”
She doesn’t indicate whether she makes them of fabric or fowl.
