McDonald's has 10 million pounds of Mighty Wings it needs to sell soon.

The wings, which represent 20% of the chicken wings produced for a promotion, are in frozen storage, writes Julie Jargon at The Wall Street Journal.

McDonald's was "unable to sell enough," according to Jargon....

While Mighty Wings apparently met internal targets, the item "was not strong enough to offset" weak sales trends, Thompson said on a conference call.

Suggestions from the floor are welcome.

1. Can they fly?

If so, McDonald's can get a helicopter................

2. Hell, if they don't want to keep them, I'll gladly take some

They're not charging for the Mighty Wings, right?

4. Cutting the price in half would probably sell them pretty quickly

They were decent, but a little expensive for what they were.

5. Sell them to China nt

6. The motherfuckers are too expensive

All they need to do is lower the price on them

7. They can stand another month in the freezer.

Pull 'em out and run a Super Bowl special. It's the largest wings consumption day of the year.

8. I'd suggest a landfill but it is doubtful that even they would want them.

Instead of going to waste, why don't they donate them to their underpaid employees.

9. Or they could do what a Safeway on Maui did years ago after a power outage.

They put the word out that all the soon-to-be-spoiled food was about to be BBQ'd. Many folks ate well that day.
