Woolworth worker’s unexpected note on chicken wings

A photo taken of boxes of fried chicken at Woolworths has left shoppers confused after a rude word appeared to be purposely written on all the containers.

A customer uploaded the picture of the chicken wings to Reddit, commenting:  “It took me a minute to realise why someone would be writing ‘sh*t’ all over the Woolworths chicken.”

Social media users started questioning why all the boxes appeared to have the swear word blatantly scrawled all over it.

But an eagle-eyed user pointed out that there was actually a reasonable explanation.

“For those wondering, 7:45 is written on the boxes,” one person pointed out.

The 7:45 stamp is likely the time the chicken was cooked but when displayed upside down it appears to be something much ruder.

But some of the users still thought the misconception was intentional.

“I feel they wrote 7:45 once and noticed/had a laugh that it looked similar, and it’s now their in-joke/silent protest,” one user said.
