| #1 Posted on 29.2.04 2249.19 Reposted on: 1.3.11 0001.29 | Ok, a totally random, pointless question, but I am curious and wondering if anyone knows the answer...
Tonight I'm watching Heat (no smart comments) and a Taco Bell commercial comes on for an "all-white meat chicken something-or-other" and at the bottom in fine print it says "All-white meat not available in Hawaii or Canada"...WTF??? Does anyone know why this is?
Like I said, completely inane question, but my curiousity overcame me... Promote this thread! | | jwrestle

We don't get all white meat... I guess the shipping cost is already bad enough, so they won't go the extra mile. | Toast Jr

Guess Submit couldn't have asked for a better answer than that. So, you're telling me there are no chicken farmers in Hawaii? Hmmm....sounds like a decent career idea. | DrDirt

I kind of wondered if the shipping costs had something to do with Hawaii...but Canada? No chicken farmers in Canada, either?
