There has been many a debate since the inception of social media - and many of them food-related.

While food preferences including taste and presentation are inherently subjective, they have caused plenty of divisions online.

For example, there are people who insist that burgers and hot dogs are, in fact, sandwiches, that a deep dish is actually a casserole and not a pizza, and while we're on the subject of pizza - there is, of course, the age-old debate of whether pineapple makes for a suitable topping or not.

There's no way two ways about it - we're incredibly passionate where our meals are concerned.

And now it turns out that people cannot agree on how much of a chicken wing should be eaten.

The debate was started on Twitter by a user with the handle @ImpHolla. The social media user posted a picture featuring a wing scale from 1-5. Essentially, the scale goes from least eaten to most eaten.

So, wing number one looks like it just had a small chunk bitten out of it, and the last wing is literally just the bone, with not a shred of chicken left.

@ImpHolla revealed that he himself is a 3.5 - but most people argued in favor of the higher end of the scale.

A number of the commenters couldn't get over the fact that there were some people who would happily leave a considerable amount of meat on the bone before throwing it away.

One person said: "Who ever [sic] 1-3 is, y’all some serial killers and deserve to spend the rest of yah miserable life behind bars for the disrespect."

Another agreed: "If I fry you chicken you better be a 4 or 5 or you can get the hell outta my house."

A third Twitter user's eating habits are literally off the scale as they revealed: "Me is 5.5 coz I'm chomping that top and bottom parts and sucking all the bone marrow."

Not quite a 5.5, but still a respectable 4-5, one user shared: "I have a chicken wing tattoo'd [sic] on me. I'll go to jail if you're eating with me and ain't at least at a 4."
