This Restaurant’s Menu Is So Confusing That Honestly, We Give Up

Ordering a helping of chicken wings is usually a simple process. It usually goes something like, “Hi, I’ll take the chicken wings, please.” But one Philadelphia restaurant is confusing the entire internet with their wing pricing, and you know what? We’ll just get a salad.

Twitter user @seanposting tweeted out a very real menu from West Philly’s Danny’s Wok Chinese restaurant. The menu lists 40 different chicken wing serving options, each one listed at an absurd price that no one can seem to wrap their head around.

Mind you, it’s not worth trying to figure out Danny’s math. Many have tried and sadly failed.

Our first qualm with Danny’s menu is the way the wings are portioned out. It’s downright bizarre. We don’t understand why the place can’t just stick to increments of five and ten. And then the prices are absolutely insane. The difference between ordering four or five wings is $1.15, yet the difference between 24 or 25 wings is $.55. Maddening!

And we’re not the only ones. After @seanposting posted her tweet on October 21st, she received over 300 replies, most of which are people trying to decipher Danny’s chicken wing code. The tweet has also gone viral, having garnered over 17,000 likes and 4,200 retweets thus far.

Some tried graphing out Danny’s logic, not taking into consideration the bulk discount.

Others tried good old problem solving, yet ended up with more problems than before.

We found out who the true hackers of the world are.

And finally, a couple of geniuses stepped in. Yet, we still feel as though we’re not any better off than where we started.

According to BuzzFeed News, employees of Danny’s Wok don’t even know why the pricing/patterning is so messed up.

But have we considered that there’s actually no correct answer to Danny’s math problem? Perhaps that was Danny’s intention all along — to confuse, to incite chaos, to bring nonbelievers (and therefore business) to his chicken wing shop.

If that’s the case: well played, Danny. You are one sly restauranteur.
