Walmart's Chicken Purse Craze: Why Everyone Wants This $6 Accessory

Flocks of folks are flying to Walmart for an unlikely duo to celebrate National Chicken Month — the limited-edition rotisserie Chicken Purse. The Arkansas-based chain first rolled out the limited-edition bag on September 1, pricing the purses the same as the store’s real chickens at just $5.97. 

The purse, which some shoppers are calling the “Cherkin” — a cheeky play on the Birkin — is available in two “flavors”: traditional and lemon pepper.

Both totes are shaped like its iconic rotisserie chicken packaging with the logo, nutritional facts and all. Each is made from synthetic leather and polyester lining and comes with a shoulder strap.
