- Walmart shopper buys Great Value chicken drumsticks — she says ‘No, thank you’ after what she noticed (marketrealist.com)
Local TikTok user Kimberly Trogdon sparked a debate after posting a video about some surprisingly large chicken drumsticks she purchased at Walmart. Trogdon expressed shock at the size of the drumsticks, questioning what she called their unusual size.
The video shows Trogdon pulling a large, round drumstick from the package. She compared its size to that of a small chicken.
Many commenters shared her surprise, while others suggested the chicken might have been injected with water to increase its weight. Some viewers reported similar experiences, noting that the chicken shrunk significantly after cooking.
However, several self-described farmers defended Walmart, arguing that large drumsticks are normal for well-fed chickens. They also pointed out that using hormones in raising chickens is illegal.
This isn’t the first time Walmart’s Great Value chicken has been under scrutiny on TikTok. Another user previously posted a video complaining about uncleaned chicken wings purchased at the store.
