At the time of me writing this, none of the comments address the real issue here. The guy who swallowed a 5cm chicken bone was asking for 12 of his fellow citizens to take a look at the facts and decide whether it was reasonable to expect these specific boneless chicken wings to not contain a 5cm bone.
The Ohio Supreme Court said no, you canât even ask that question, because you are ridiculous for thinking that âbonelessâ chicken wings means there are no bones.
My wife grew up in Ohio, and she is constantly telling me about some great thing about Ohio from when she was a kid. And every single Fâing time I type it into Google and discover that this thing no longer exists. Every time.
My sister currently lives in Ohio and tells me about all the backsliding going on. Her kids are just about ready to leave for college (out of state), and sheâll tell anyone that listens that, if you have the choice, you are insane to raise young children in Ohio. And sheâs a Republican.

I think this is extremely weird. If someone is allergic to nuts, and theyâre being served ânut freeâ food that has some traces of nuts in, and that sends them to the emergency room people would lose their minds.
If I were served boneless wings, and I found a 5cm bone in there itâd be far outside the bounds of expectation.
From the actual decision:
> According to Berkheimer, he estimated the chicken bone was between one and one-half inches and two inches, but he had no reason to dispute the doctor's note describing the chicken bone as five centimeters long.
I just found this funny because it makes it sound as if Berkheimer believes 5 cm is much bigger than 1.5 to 2 inches when 5 centimeter is just about 2 inches.
Would this be an issue if we called a spade a spade? These arenât boneless wings, theyâre chickie nuggies :)
Is it legal for my McNuggets to contain bones?
Hope this doesn't affect my boneless tofu
Lol. That reminds me of my first ever misadventure at KFC in .de around 2002, when I've only been used to Chicken Mc Nuggets by McD, and never been to a KFC before. (There weren't many of them in Germany at the time, anyways)
Gone there because a few friends wanted to, couldn't even believe I didn't know KFC. Got some, took a first bite... CRUNCH OUCH! WTF?!
I really expected them to be boneless.
I guess it's like being upset seedless watermelon still occasionally have seeds. It basically means "to best of our ability" on an industrial scale, not 100% free.
Well this is going to be an upcoming episode of Food Theory
Insane ruling. Words have meaning. Itâs at worst, negligent and dangerous, at best fraud and false advertising.
Words don't mean things is an interesting legal precedent.
This isn't new, nor is it interesting. Same thing with fish filets for years.
"may have bones" would be a more accurate headline, in line with the tone of the ruling. "may" warns of the possibility while being less definitive than "can".
I'm surprised the ruling was 4-3 and not a bigger majority. I don't expect the supplier to have extremely tight quality controls around the presence of bones. Boneless is a convenience, not an absolute guarantee.
The decision, since the AP can't be bothered. https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/rod/docs/pdf/12/2023/2023-...
