Really? I never thought they were popular in the least. It seems pretty 1990s if you ask me.
As for their function...who can say?

One account attributes its creation to Joseph Grimaldi, the legendary white-faced clown of the early 1800s. At that time, gluttony was fashionable and considered a sign of affluence, and Grimaldi would perform with his pockets full of fake food in order to make fun of the upper classes.
Another account, which is printed on the tag of rubber chickens manufactured by Archie McPhee, claims that the use of the rubber chicken originated during the French Revolution with soldiers hanging the chicken from their muskets for luck

It's a comedian's prop. About as funny as a slapstick.

Because they are soft and squashy, and don't bite like the real ones.

You never know when you might need one. I personally wouldn't be caught without one.
