Very ironic for a holiday called “Thanksgiving”.

Thanks to Joe Biden and food costs, the holiday is being renamed "No Thanksgiving".

First off that's Fistsgiving and fisting is an honored practice in their culture.

Only 24% of Friendsgiving celebrators planned on having turkey,

I don't know what this "Friendsgiving" shite is, but turkey is incredibly overrated. It ain't much. It is near the bottom of all the options. And don't say, "Awww....you just haven't had it this way...", nope, I've had them all. The novelty of fried has worn off. Smoked turkey only makes me want a good smoked turkey from a good BBQ joint. When cooked in the oven, the oven only serves as a flavor removal device....and a turkey has no flavor to start with.

I put Big Turkey right up there with Big Diamond in regards to successful grifts carried out on the American people. There ain't nothing good about a turkey and diamonds ain't rare.

Was this not already normal? Most Thanksgiving gatherings I've been apart of, usually the host will have the Turkey ready, and all the guests will bring in some sort of side. Or for those who can't cook, they'll just bring some paper plates and napkins.

I’ve never understood it, outside of nostalgia. Motherfrickers don’t eat turkey all year, in spite of it being cheap as hell, and yet it all of a sudden becomes amazing one day out of the year when it’s at its most expensive

unsurprisingly, those who did were less likely to plan on celebrating Thanksgiving this year. However, they were significantly more likely to celebrate Friendsgiving

Uh yeah because it’s difficult to cook an entire turkey regularly since they’re large. I eat ground turkey almost every day

Turkey is infinitely better than trash pork meat

I don’t mean whole turkey; I mean turkey in any form or fashion. I don’t doubt that you do, but I think that puts you in the extreme minority of people. Most people would have turkey somewhere around the bottom of their top ten list of proteins

Fried chicken and smoked pork or brisket are better, in my opinion.

I'm not saying it's disgusting or anything. I just can't think of anything turkey brings to the table that I can't get from something else, but better.
