Someone on tv claimed, in the course of an segment about some recipe for
chicken and a restaurant that sells it, that people (not restaurants)
used to throw chicken wings away.

My older siblings worked (in the 60s) for a local restaurant famous
for its fried chicken. They'd buy whole chickens and cut them up.
There was so little demand for the wings, they'd sell their excess
wings for ten cents a pound. Necks were free.

I never liked the wings as a kid, but I loved fried chicken necks.
