But in January 2022, posts featuring chicken wings at Subway began popping up on social media. We couldn't help but wonder: Is the iconic sandwich chain really branching out and selling wings in the new year, or is this just some type of joke? Keep scrolling to find out.Source: Getty ImagesArticle continues below advertisement A Twitter user shared a photo of chicken wings in a Subway box and we are shook New year, new menu items? Perhaps.

DO NOT EAT THE SUBWAY WINGS pic.twitter.com/gvgyOuo0KA— xan (@xan4PF) January 11, 2022 Article continues below advertisement So is Subway really selling wings Where can you buy them Being that we only have one set of photos to go by, we decided to check Subway's social media accounts to see if the chain had announced any new menu items. Sadly, we turned up empty-handed. While it wouldn't be unheard of if Subway decided to test wings out in select locations before rolling them out to the public, there is also a possibility that those wing photos were fake or photoshopped. After all, given the state of the chicken wing industry right now, it doesn't seem likely that Subway would add such a hard-to-get product to its menu.Article continues below advertisementSource: Getty Images Yup the U S is currently suffering from a chicken wing shortage As I'm sure you already know, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to several shortages across all industries. Unfortunately, chicken wings are one popular food item that currently faces a scarcity. According to Market Realist, the demand for wings during the pandemic has considerably outstripped the supply. Article continues below advertisement As a result, supplies have been limited and the price of chicken wings has gone up. Not to mention, Buffalo Wild Wings announced that most of its sports bars are running low on wings. The chicken wings shortage and price surging so bad that Wingstop is creating a new virtual delivery brand called "Thighstop" to get customer to switch over. That crazy. Wings wholesale went from .98 to $3.22 today— MAINTAIN THE MYSTERY ???

But if we're wrong and Subway is actually selling wings, do check out the ingredients before consuming. They could be plant-based (which would be pretty dopel!) or they could just be a mixture of things that you probably don't want to put in your body. After all, Subway has faced allegations in the past that its tuna isn't actually made from real tuna.AdvertisementMore from Distractify Here's Why You Never Hear From Jared Fogle, the Subway Guy, Anymore Man Pleads With City Council to Stop Calling Them 'Boneless Chicken Wings' Because They're 'Just Chicken Tenders' Why Are People Boycotting McDonald's?
