magnetic wishbone

By Staff Writer
15 March 2017

This wooden wishbone is far less greasy than the kind you extract from a chicken – plus, it can be easily reassembled. Cool, huh?

Did you know that the expression “lucky break” comes from the tradition of snapping a wishbone apart? Originating in Ancient Rome, the custom entails two comrades curling their little fingers around the ends of a wishbone and pulling it till it breaks. Whoever ends up with the bigger piece is the lucky one. An odd custom, by any stretch of the imagination – but a fun one, nonetheless. If you’re a fan of the wishbone (or know someone who is), you might like to get your paws on this bone of the magnetic variety. Not only is it a less greasy option, it also can be reassembled, so you can break it apart many times over. Pop over to Areaware to find out more.
