    I refuse to believe this is real simply because I don’t want to live in a world where someone actually did this.

      It’s a joke. Apparently the humor is lost on many.

        In this age of misinformation, reasonably, people have a hard time finding the humor in false portrayals anymore. You’ve got so much fake and unauthentic material now that people have gotten a bit jaded I think.

          That and Poe’s Law. Some people are fucking stupid and I wouldn’t put a near suicidal act past them.

      You can buy something like that in Japan. So some people in the world do this regularly. But the chickens they use for it are raised in a clean environment, so they unlikely have salmonella.

        Like as a dare? Slimy raw chicken can’t possibly taste good, I don’t care how you dress it up

          Many people around the world eat sushi, and if you’re already okay with the texture of sushi, the texture of raw chicken might not scare you off.

          Of course there are mixed opinions about sushi, too.

              I suggest you try other kinds of sushi. You will find some that are similar, when thinly sliced.

                I’ve tried plenty of types of sushi and sashimi. If I’d ever gotten one that tasted like raw chicken I would have spit it out and demanded my money back lol

                For the record I have accidentally eaten raw (undercooked) chicken before, and I cannot imagine why anyone would ever eat it on purpose
