Manatee-shaped chicken tender for sale for $5,000 on Facebook: 'Must see to appreciate'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}You don’t see a chicken tender like this every day!
It’s always a good idea to examine your food before you eat it because you never know what you’re going to find. For example, one woman apparently found a chicken tender she believes is worth five grand.
On the listing, which was filed under the “Antiques and Collectibles” category, Melinda Britt Disbrow wrote, “Must see to appreciate.” She also listed the tender as being in “new” condition. (Melinda Britt Disbrow/Facebook Marketplace)
Why?
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Well, it’s apparently shaped like a manatee.
The listing was posted to the Facebook Marketplace by Melinda Britt Disbrow, who bought the tender from a Culvers near the Manatee Viewing Center at Apollo Beach, Fla.
On the listing, which is filed under the “Antiques and Collectibles” category, Disbrow wrote, “Must see to appreciate.” She also listed the tender as being in “new” condition.

While some outlets are reporting that the listing is no longer active, Disbrow confirmed that it’s still live. She says that it’s been viewed over 5,800 times and she’s received over 500 messages.
While five grand might seem like a lot for a chicken tender, Disbrow is planning on putting the money to good use. According to her, if the tender sells, she’s going to donate the proceeds to an organization that supports manatee preservation, “most likely Savethemanatee.org.”
