Wingstop reported great earnings as price of wings are way down.
Wings was low man on the totem pole,if you cant afford white meat or drumstick,you eat wings.
Until wings become HOT,as a snack,then wings cost more than drumstick.
so price of wings are way down,does it mean inflation is under control?
Comments please!

Price of wings is not down where I live and the wing is the most expensive cut of the chicken, and you aren't getting much for your money except for bones. Boneless skinless chicken breast is a lot cheaper than the wings are.
Yet many restaurants are still charging the higher pandemic price. I think the retailers are trying to squeeze as much profit out of the wing market as possible.
why is the wing price going down?there are only 2 wings per bird?
Could it be consumers realise they are not getting their money worth eating wings?skin and bone and little meat?
We have House of Raeford here, a chicken processing plant. They raise their own chickens, as I believe most processors do now (Hell, even Costco is doing it, I think)..
When the pandemic started, they had an excess of chickens. With restaurants shut down, they started doing sales direct to public.

I see Wingstop in NYC, and I find that hard to believe. The rent is so high, which means you have to sell a lot and lot of wings. Seriously how many wings can one place possibly sell? You can go to restaurant and get wings as apps, or the super market and get wings to cook at home. So there is that competition.
And the thing is, these Wingstops are not in tiny hole in the wall spaces. Its like with Pizzerias. I see so many, at least every other block in Manhattan. How can they survive? How many pizza slices at how high a price can you sell? Same thing with delis. But I guess the deli sells cigs, lotto, drinks, beer. Pizzerias also sell chicken wings usually plus mozz sticks.
By the way we produce so much livestock we do not eat it all. I see meats of all kinds sitting on shelves at the market. If there is a true shortage, then the shelves be empty. They never were. It was all a lie.
Wings are cheap because sellers need to off load their over supply before it sits too long. Food is perishable.
