Fake.
If this was real, they would also have had a loaf of bread each. Hard to miss 15 loaves of bread.

Shit man one upon a time those chicken's were like $5 a pop. Cheapest and fastest way of getting a ton of protein in by far. Now not so much. The last time I bought one I think it was double that in price. This is why we can't have nice things. Companies gotta get greedy.
Maybe that depends on where you are, but you can still get them at Walmart for $6 where I am
Costco is still holding strong at $5. But, of course, you need a membership.
When I was fifteen, I could totally eat an entire rotisserie chicken in a single sitting. I was also gaining height by inches at a time.
You will never know the hunger of a 15 year old boy unless you were one
I once shared a house with a teen male and an early 20's man. Absolute food hoovers.
I don't even know where I put all that food when I was that age. I could eat 5000 calories in a single day and not gain a pound.
I want science to give me back my teenage metabolism.
I bet if I was as active as I was as a teen, I could get relatively close.
I could have eaten one as a fifteen year old girl but I attribute that to my parents heavy encouragement of sports and lack of body shanking compared to other families.
I'm taller than all of my siblings that were born male which I attribute to my last place in the birth order when my family was no longer food insecure and my mother had time to give me a child's multivitamin daily.
As a result I've come to the conclusion that at least some of the wide difference between the average male and female body height and mass is actually child gender favoritism and body shaming (not that guys don't get weight shamed, but that's not usually regardless of muscle mass) resulting in nutritional deficiencies.
Male puberty as an adult rocked. Being that level of “eat an entire pizza” hungry and being able to sate it is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Best parts of college were splitting a pitcher of beer with a bro and eating the kind of pizza that leaves a snail trail.
Teen boys are eating machines. I remember when my kids were teens and a bunch of boys came to the house. It was like a plague of locusts. They pretty much emptied the fridge. I still fondly recall pulling out a pickle jar they had eaten all of the pickles out of, leaving just the brine.
Hey, the brine is delicious.
Best thing when dehydrated. Shot of pickle brine chased with a liter or two of water
Do you think it's coincidence that 'brine' rhymes with 'wine'? 'Cause I do.
Yeah, when I was going through puberty, the family was going through a burlap sack of rice every month.
Well, eating one chicken does count as eating a whole food.
Not seeing the issue here. Sounds pretty wholesome to me actually! A bunch of boys hanging out. Unknowing to the horrors that adulthood brings. Soon high school will end. Soon college will start. Some of your friends will drift away. Some you won't even notice until you realize one day it's been a while since you hung out with that one guy. The one you're not best friends with, but sometimes he'd be around. Except he hasn't been around for months, and you're just now noticing. Other friends you notice right away are gone. They get accepted into a college on the other side of the country. You claim you'll keep in touch, but lets be real. You're both going to be super busy with college. You'll drift away from one of your best friends over the next few years. It's neither of your faults really. That's just how life is. You spent your whole life with this guy since you were 5 years old, and now as you transition into adulthood you become strangers. Then one day you wake up, and realize you haven't seen any of those friends in 20 years. All you do is work six days a week, and run errands on the 7th so you have enough supplies to handle the upcoming week. Now even the burnt out face in the mirror looks like a stranger.
But at least they'll have the wholesome memories of being in a costco as teens and eating chicken together. Before it all fell apart.
Probably also the first fulfilling guilt free meal in a while
this hurt to read. i hate how well it captures that feeling. why the hell is adulthood like this? we grind people into paste and don’t even realise how much we have lost of what they could have been. sigh.
Stop whining and get back to generating shareholder value. You can block out your emotions with subscription services.
Goddammit, fine. I will go to the next reunion, and I will bring chicken for the lads, for old time's sake.
And maybe some pot? Remember when we were kids, and smoking in the ally, and saying how weed will never be legal in our lifetimes? Welp. It's legal. In our lifetimes.
Hey, wanna play this disc of MP3s I burned onto a CD? It's got Oasis, and Sublime in there somewhere.
I should call him...

Probably football players. It’s almost hell week
You can each have one rotisserie chicken, as a treat.
Being a teenage boy is hungry work.
In my day it was onions. We wore them on our belts
...which was the style at the time.
Damn... how much was that chicken in Whole Foods?
They are about $8 for roughly 2 lbs at about 1000 calories a lb if you eat the skin and all the meat.
That would be completely reasonable as a large meal as it is about half the daily calories for an average sized male teenager, especially if they are very active.
$8 doesn't sound that bad for Whole Foods.
Better than eating a McDonald's meal.
8.99 -9.99 for conventional, and some times if they go near by date, its 50% off. or if you have discount its more.
Am I misreading your comment, or are you saying an average male teen needs 4000 calories a day?
Yeah, pretty much.
I remember eating 4000 to 6000 calories a day in high school. I could put away two double whopper meals - large fries, large coke - in a sitting.
Or a 16" pizza, with plenty of room for Jo-jos.
Or 4 big plates of spaghetti, with half a loaf of garlic bread, and salad until there was no more salad to be had.
I was scrawny. Too scrawny for high school sports. 5'9", but I didn't break 100lbs until my senior year.
Easily. From 14-17 I lived on a 5,000 calorie diet and struggled to gain weight, between marching band, PE, shop class, an avid skating hobby, a girlfriend, and growing in height. I could have easily eaten an entire chicken at the time.
If they are active then yeah, 4000 calories is not at all unusual as a teen.
And not empty calories, that’s the important part
Damn, maybe that's why I didn't grow
This is unironically a big part of why people, on average, used to be shorter and why populations become taller as their country/region becomes wealthier.
If you're a bad enough dude, a whole rotisserie chicken is only one heart.
Growing takes a lot of calories.

Average 15 year old behavior.
When I was a kid we had personal pizzas.
I used to eat a 16" large "thin crust" by myself.
