Social Media Are Riled Up After Tennis Fan Dunks Chicken Tender Into Coke

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. It may be the moment that got the most buzz at the U.S. Open, and it had nothing to do with tennis. A fan was caught on camera dipping a chicken tender into her Coke and then eating it. Social media has deemed this disgusting. The woman, Alexa Greenfield, admits it's a pretty weird habit. But I mean, thank goodness for the first person who dunked a doughnut in coffee or realized french fries taste great dipped in a chocolate Frosty. Alexa, you be you. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

An earlier headline incorrectly identified the tender-dunker as a golf fan. The controversial dunking took place at the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
Recent threats to federal funding are challenging the way stations like JPR provide service to small communities in rural parts of the country.
