Then you didnt break it in half
When you break the wishbone, the person who has the larger half is the lucky one.
the longest side is the luckiest side when you break it.
Soak a wishbone in vinegar for a few days and it leaches out the calcium, leaving a rubbery bone that's very hard to break.
Two people use a little finger to hold the wishbone (which should have been dried). On both pulling, the person with the longest piece of the wishbone is granted a wish (but must never reveal the wish to anyone!).
As far as I can tell it's because you and someone else break it together and whoever breaks off the bigger piece gets to make a wish.
cause you break it and the person with the larger piece makes a wish
You make your wish before, then you break it and whoever has the longer half will have their wish come true!
that its more than just luck but love

Finding the wishbone traditionally refers to the breaking of the wishbone from a roasted turkey or chicken. It is a superstition that if two people break it and make a wish, the person with the larger piece will have their wish come true.
