The Real Osmosis Jones Buffalo Wing Festival #funfact

In the movie Osmosis Jones, Frank tells his daughter their going to the Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, New York but that wasn't a real festival .... until it was

"Lol, there isn't a Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo. Silly movie...

Wait. Why the hell don't we have a Buffalo Wing Festival?"

[chlumbis]

Show this short to an alien and they will immediately understand what America is about

[megaboy]

I was not expecting a reference to such a hidden piece that is Osmosis Jones

[MrMatthias]

I never would have guessed that Osmosis Jones had such a huge cultural impact

[julianmitchell]

I love the fact that what was seen as a selfish desire by an unhealthy father was then turned into an ironically wholesome city-wide event.
Edit: Oh, damn! Thanks for the likes!

"If it doesn't exist, I will make it."

Same energy as the Guinness Book Of World Records.

[An-ypgd]

Now, THIS is wholesome.

Also, 281 CHICKEN WINGS? WHAT!? WHAT IS HE, THE CHICKEN WING WOODCHIPPER?

[bcvetkov]

Osmosis Jones literally made* history. 😂

[miirico]

The fact it all started with a bloke starting the festival because it doesn't exist goes so hard.

"Holds the record for eating 281 chicken wings"

"Yknow, I eat a lot I could probably do that pretty easily"

"...in 12 minutes"

"Well damn nevermind"

[MaxAlexander]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers Osmosis Jones.

[Declan_Lyons]

Of course Buffalo had a wing king. The only surprise is that I'd never heard of him until today. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ihasmanynames]

They made me watch osmosis Jones in my science class, genuinely good movie

[ericaschner]

If I ate 281 wings I'm pretty sure the next bowel movement would kill me

[gcwoodhead]

I have never been more proud to he an American. Godspeed, buffalo wing man.

Fun Fact: The same thing happened in Mexico City, the annual Day of the Dead parade did not exist, until 2016, a year after the film 007: Spectre was screened in 2015, which began with a scene of a similar parade.

[Megatron-mj]

I'm more surprised there wasn't a chicken wing festival before the movie.

When i lived in Buffalo, this was one of the best events to go to. You buy a booklet of tickets, then walk around handing in tickets for samples of the food but the samples were pretty big! I had to be strategic with what stalls I went to because I would be full after just a few of them! One of the best times I had with my dad was at that festival. Great smells, great food, great music, and great people.

[DumbAsh]

That sounds like the best festival ever holy shit

[BrkesRBrkn]

Bro ate a chicken wing every 2.5 seconds
