The NPC Left's War on... Chicken

Ikea announced that it would be adding a menu item to its cafe -- Jamaican jerk chicken.

Do you see the problem?

If you don't, you've resisted even getting a vaccination-level dose of the left's viral lunacy.

But many of you got that immunization-spurring dose, and you've successfully guessed: Because Cultural Appropriation.

IKEA, the Swedish furniture company famous for their affordable, assembly-required home goods as well as their delicious meatballs, came under fire recently after adding "Jerk Chicken" to their cafe menu in some U.K. locations.

...

IKEA's jerk chicken was served with a side of white rice and peas, which caught the attention of some on social media, who castigated the furniture giant because traditional "rice and peas" doesn't actually feature green peas, but kidney beans (or gungo peas) steeped in coconut milk.

...

[I]t seems the pressure was too much as IKEA has issued a formal apology and removed the item from their menus:

IKEA is a Swedish home furnishing company with a much-loved food offer. We take inspiration from many countries around the world and have always worked to combine different flavors and ingredients to offer delicious, healthy and affordable dishes. ... We're aware that our new jerk chicken, served with rice and peas has created some conversation and in some cases offense. Our intention was to create a dish for many people to enjoy but we appreciate that we may have got it wrong. We apologize and we are now relooking at the dish.

Tim Pool suggests boycotting Ikea for bowing to NPC pressure, which only encourages them and results in further loss of liberty.

Also from Tim Pool: Since the leftist Alphabet People NPCs started boycotting Chick-Fil-A almost ten years ago, it has merely doubled its annual sales.

Under Dan T. Cathy's leadership, Chick-fil-A has grown to be a $10.5 billion company, the third-largest in the nation behind Starbucks ($20.5 billion) and McDonald's ($38.5 billion) in 2018, according to Nation Restaurant News.

Those numbers represent a 16.7% increase in sales for Chick-fil-A last year, more than four times that of Starbucks.

"Can they reach $30 billion? I think that's also a realistic goal if you give them enough time, And that should put them ahead of Starbucks," Kalinowski Equity Research founder Mark Kalinowski told Business Insider.

There are more than 2,400 Chick-fil-A locations nationwide, compared to more than 14,000 Starbucks' and McDonald's locations each.

Start-up costs for an operator for a Chick-fil-A are only $10,000, just 10 percent of the minimum cost for a McDonald's. The average Chick-fil-A location brought in $4.6 million in annual sales in 2018.
