wishbone
Turkey tug prize
A wishbone is the forked bone between the neck and breast of a bird, formed by fused collarbones.
By tradition, two people each grip one end and pull until it snaps; whoever gets the longer piece may make a wish.
The shape gives its name to a football formation and various Y-shaped objects.
