Why is chicken green?

[tkioz]

So I'm hungry and was just looking in my cupboard when something struck me as odd, all my chicken products, 2min noodles, chips, hell even the stock were all in green packages.

I can understand cheese stuff being in yellow / orange packaging, and beef in brown packaging makes sense as well, but if I saw green chicken meat in my fridge I sure as heck wouldn't be eating it.

So I ask again, why is chicken in green packages?

Odd. My chicken stock is in yellow packaging.

The tuna, however, with the name "Chicken of the Sea", IS in green.

Now I'm just confused. Is fish chicken?

the packaging is tempting the fates and, flicking off the gods of salmonella. It does seem really strange though.

To make you ask these questions to yourself, to get inside your head...

Beef, cheese, carrots - all these things are plain and honest - but chicken...

Well, chicken has a hidden agenda.

Can't say I ever saw chicken in green packaging... Mine comes in red...

Sonuva!
Well, you're right.
The last bag of chicken I had was green.

The fowls are not what they seem.

I think it's rudimentary and arbitrary colour coding. The students with very little thinking capactiy in the early hours can remember which flavour is which just by looking for a second. No reason for each, just gotta learn it.

It's because nothing that is actually green is good.

All my food is in yellow so the green lantern can't get to it.

Sorry I sneezed on all your chicken packages.

Normally for me they are yellow.

It's the only colour that stands out from the rest?

My chicken comes most often in white or clear packaging, but I tend to not buy processed stuff. That may be your issue, idk.

 

[Souplex]

Because chickens are naturally green before all the chemical treatment they go through pre-packaging.

Fun factoid for ya...

As chicken "ripens" and decays, it often turns a funky shade of olive green.

I just find it funny that they would seal it with green packaging. I wonder if there's a coincidence there.
