Food, especially fresh food, used to be a lot more expensive when adjusting for inflation. A canned chicken like this doesn’t look super appetizing right out of the can, but it probably tasted OK after you shredded it and put it in a casserole. And it was significantly cheaper than buying a fresh whole roasted chicken, assuming you lived somewhere that fresh whole roasted chickens were even readily available. Food like this became particularly popular during the great depression, and stuck around for decades afterwards.
Nowadays, between industrialized farming, highly optimized supply chains, and a buttload of government subsidy, fresh food is comparatively cheap. You can get a whole roasted chicken right off the spit for $5-10 at just about any grocery store. So for most people the value proposition of a $3 canned chicken isn’t really there anymore, especially if you don’t have an enormous baby-boom-era sized family to feed.

Welp, Idk how to gif
10/10 hilariously horrifying
There you go. I reused your link like this:

This is the gif I reply with anytime I get a spam text.
How does one even come up with that?
Came to the comments to make sure someone posted this lmao
good Lord!
Needs more jpeg
Holy fuck, i just sprayed coffee on my screen.
Not gravy?
ITT people who don’t make their own food
Well, you got me.
Guilty as charged.
What does ITT mean?
in this thread
what would be the best temperature for fucking this?
Aight, imma head out. Enough Internet for today.

Well, to be honest, that’s generally the best temperature to fuck anything… unless of course, you are one of those weirdos
What would be the best temperature to fuck something if you’re a weirdo?
Probably a weird one
Idk… it depends on your taste… I guess a dead body should slowly cool its temperature to the NTPC, so 24?
Dead body? That’s some normie shit. Gross.

It looks nasty but I bet you that “gelatin” actually makes for some fantastic stock
If you love Buffalo chicken dip you’ve probably enjoyed this type of chicken before.
I looked up the ingredients and apparently it’s only chicken, water, and salt, so it’s gotta be the chicken’s own stock (since it’s fully cooked).
Looks disgusting I guess but I suppose it’s far healthier than many of the more delicious looking products the food industry churns out every day.
It looks disgusting cuz it’s canned and cold lol. Whenever I cook with real chicken or even beef and there’s broth leftover, it will turn into slight gelatin due to the collagen in the bones! There is flavor and protein in there. It’ll just liquidify when you heat it up and it’s some seasonings and a pinch of flour away from being gravy too.
Wild how cooking can get when you start to understand ingredients more
LOOK AT IT
Hmm, well using it for chicken soup does make some sense I guess. Might be useful for a pandemic stash.
What’s that she said about peanut butter sauce? What’s that got to do with cold gelled canned whole chicken?
omfg lmaoo im seriously crying from laughter 🤣…hhold up…🤣🤣…
why would anyone think a recipe clled sticky chicky dump chicken with those four ingredients taste anything but terrible? lol and people where complaining that it tasted like peanut butter spread on chicken!! lmaoo why would it taste like anything else?? it’s literally that with a spoon of soy sauce mixed in! omg im laughing so hard 😆 yet, there was still someone that said that they liked it. imagine what they usually eat to give this 5 stars 🤢
that recipe has to be a troll. it cant be for real.
apparently that great depression era style canned chicken is $25, so theyre paying like 5 times more than if they would have used a frozen chicken. i wouldnt trust the decisions of anyone that has seriously tried that recipe out.
I just looked it up. OMG.
lmao love this comment
wtf, right?? 😂😂😂
Yes ahaha
😆 Oh Lord yup there it is
I want to see a prochef use this for a recipe.
My best guess use would be to use it for a stock and make a soup or chili. Might work any application poached chicken is needed.
I want to see a prochef use this for a recipe.
Probably not going to happen. I watched the review mentioned in this comment and the verdict was that isn’t not particularly flavorful when just baked in the oven, as the can apparently recommends.
Does sound like a decent option for making soup, however. Especially during a pandemic.
The channel i was thinking of is Epicurious. They have some videos using canned tuna that look edible, at least. There is an example in the link.
Oh I see, so the point is making a pro chef use an extremely cheap and common canned food and turn it into a gourmet meal?
Good concept, sign me up.
Yeah. I find it interesting. If you need to eat and have some time, why make it boring?
He’s certainly doing a good job selling me on canned fish LOL

The Matrix for chickens
If someone is going camping, or to a cabin with limited or no electricity, this is a convenient way to store chicken. Preppers also buy this stuff.
Thank you. I see Cunningham’s Law remains in effect.

“Normalizing” like it hasn’t been the status quo of life forms on earth for millions of years lmao
You only think that’s more humane because you cannot hear the plants’ cries for help when you slaughter them.
I hope you’re not trying to use that as a serious argument?
Ma’am, this is a shitposting group.
very well shitposter, be on your way then
No.
Quit normalizing herbicide and go soylent
Good fucking God, what have we become?!
Probably would be fine for soup or stock.
I looked up the ingredients, and apparently it’s literally only chicken, water, and salt. So it could be worse I guess. Might be useful to have around if SHTF.
Why would shit hit the floor? Do you poop downwards? Fucking weirdo.
Uhhh… how do you poop, sideways?
I find it comes out easier if I spin
Kinda like this?
Your scientists were so preoccupied with canned chicken, they didn’t stop to think if they should chicken.
One time I shot one of these with a 454 casull revolver and it created a 20 foot wide mushroom cloud of protein

Least unhinged gender reveal
Emmymade on YouTube did an “Apocalypse Dinner” featuring these whole canned things, the chicken, brown bread, and cheese being the subjects of the video.
She’s pretty fun and tries out some odd stuff occasionally, but this particular episode stuck in my mind as I’d never seen one of these prepared and eaten before. She also has Apocalypse Breakfast, Hamburger In A Can, among others.
