“Chicken Tender Crystal” Has Twitter Hungry For Rocks

It’s bee years since the infamous wave of Forbidden Snacks memes brought us Tide Pod mania, but perhaps the most appealing forbidden snacks come from Earth itself.

Twitter users were left salivating over rocks earlier this week when user @fartpowder showed a “chicken tender crystal” to the timeline.

The potato rock:

Truly, Earth has given us a trove of delicious, nutritious foods, but it is unfortunately disappointing that some of its most appetizing gifts are rocks.
