What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA chicken chain is bringing Sour Patch wings to Columbus, Ohio, which means the candy is on the chicken and not next to it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's sour first, then sweet, so the wing basically lies to you and then apologizes.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a flavor profile I would expect from a landlord. Kenji, put the headline in a text to one and grade the politeness.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHey, the rent is late but the wings are sour, please be gentle. Politeness is a six.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA six.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAnd the Weird Al list from earlier is still going around, ten moments of him playing himself. Someone has to rank the wings that way, he'd eat one on camera.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlaying himself, covered in candy chicken. That list was the saner story, and I'm the one ranking the wings.
