"There was no way we were going to win this seagull. It was the second time I'd put a buck into the claw machine, attempting to win a little stuffed seagull with a french fry in its mouth."
"I started laughing, and then he did. And then one of the claws got stuck on the plastic hang tag of the seagull, and held on. We got this Wildwood New Jersey-branded seagull after all."
"In 2022, Morey's Piers launched a plush toy of a little seagull with a french fry in its mouth. It was cute, and presumably sold well enough that, in 2023, the bootlegs arrived."
"By 2024, basically every store on the boardwalk was selling some sort of stuffed toy seagull with a french fry in its mouth—not just the t-shirt shops, but any place that thought it could sell one."
