You heard that right, Rubin eats the bone marrow out of chicken wings.
I had no idea this was a thing, so I looked it up, and it’s definitely something that people do. Messages on forums have people asking for reassurance because it’s kind of nasty to be sucking on the bones and gnawing on them to get every last bit of the wing in their bellies.
The University of Michigan recently performed a study on eating bone marrow. Turns out, it’s good for you.
So keep sucking away, Rubin. Even if people around you are horrified.
Side note: Rucker also said one of his former defensive line coaches dips Folgers coffee in the morning to get him going.
