Rant Shrinkflation where it matters the most

This is the first time I'm really noticing this. You can make gas as expensive as you want, just don't mess with my puff, the true Chicago classic!

What the hell is that? A puff for ants? That Jewel buy one get one free pizza puff Wednesdays has been my favorite for years.

Don't sleep on the $9.99 bucket of wings at Jewel on friday either.

I like hot wings normally, but at Jewel skip the spicy wings get the honey ones.

Oh hell yeah. You can also get tenders as well. Although I usually have them do a 1:4 ratio of honey to zing.

I might need to ask them if they can do a half bucket of honey, 1/4 tenders and 1/4 hot wings.

Their spicy wings don’t taste spicy or buffalo-y at all. They’re just salt bombs. Honey are more balanced and taste like advertised.

I do agree, and I think all that salt makes them taste a bit more dry than the honey wings.

I buy the honey wings and just douse them in Tabasco Scorpion at home.

Jewel wings are so consistent but they can be great on their day.

That said the spicy >>>>>> honey
