      Shylockian Shrink Ray Extracts Pound Of Flesh From Tyson Frozen Chicken Wings

      By Alex Chasick, 4:40 PM on Fri Jan 2 2009, 8,452 views

      BUH-KAW! Tyson's five-pound bag of frozen chicken wings is now Tyson's four-pound bag of frozen chicken wings.

      We're concerned by the quotes around "4 LB BAG" on the top right. It could just be misuse of quotation marks for emphasis, but it reminds us of last week's story about TV manufacturers adding "class" after the inch listing so they can list a 31.5-inch screen as a 32-inch screen. Are these chicken wings actually 3 pounds, 8 ounces, and they're rounding up?

      Thanks, Stephen!
