Who Wants the Wishbone?
The history of making a wish over the wishbone, it is said, dates back more than 2000 years to the Etruscans. Who knew that this classic tug of war, which typically takes place in the kitchen a few days after Thanksgiving, had such an established history?
Ever wish there was more than one wishbone at Turkey time? One for all the guests at the table, or at least enough so that all the children could have their own?
Well, your wish has come true! The folks at Lucky Break have been thinking about that question for years, and they've developed a plastic wishbone that will stand in for the real thing.
If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, you can set your holiday table with one at each place setting, and if you're a guest, well what a novel hostess gift! I'm thinking of all the squabbles that will cease to be if everyone in the family has the chance at the wishbone.

How cool! Perfect for vegetarian Thanksgivings as well.
