Britons Threatened With Chlorine-Washed Chicken Unless They Say Nice Things
International Intimidation Takes Poultry Form
LONDON — In what is being described as a “masterclass in international intimidation,” the United States has reportedly warned the UK: compliment the former president or face a future filled with supermarket aisles of chlorine-washed chicken.
For decades, diplomats have relied on subtle tools: treaties, phone calls, and the occasional “Sorry about that” email. But this time, the weapon of choice is poultry, and it’s terrifyingly effective. “I went to Sainsbury’s and saw a sign that read ‘Try Chlorinated Chicken, or Else!'” said local shopper Margaret Penworthy. “I thought it was a joke. Now I think it might be a wellness program sponsored by the FBI.”
Food Chemistry Experts Weigh In on Trade Tactics
The supposed reasoning behind this bizarre ultimatum is simple: Americans like their chicken to glisten with chemicals, and they’re baffled by the British obsession with natural flavors. Dr. Clive Rooster, a food chemistry lecturer at Oxford, explained, “It’s not about the chicken. It’s about control. By dictating what Britons can eat, you also dictate what Britons can think. Next, they’ll be telling us how to queue properly or smile politely.”
Social Media Responds to Food Safety Demands
A viral TikTok trend has emerged, with Brits recording themselves pretending to taste chlorine-washed chicken while reciting compliments to Trump. One video shows a woman dramatically declaring, “You’re tremendous, sir!” as she bites into a piece of poultry that looks like it belongs in a swimming pool. The clip has been shared over a million times, with captions like: “This is literally what international relations have become.”
UK Supermarkets Scramble Amid Chemical Chicken Crisis
Meanwhile, supermarket chains are scrambling. Tesco issued a statement saying, “We are committed to stocking foods our customers can trust. Also, we are unsure what a chlorine content of 0.5% means for taste or health, but we’re running out of chicken anyway.”
Political commentators are divided: some argue this is a high-stakes negotiation tactic; others think it’s a reality TV crossover nobody asked for. One thing is certain: the UK may never look at a chicken nugget the same way again.
