I've never been much of a chicken nugget person. I can't even tell you how long it had been since I had had Chicken McNuggets. I think the last time I had them they looked more breaded and were all a uniform S/parallelogram shape, but I may have just made all of that up. The Olympics advertising for Chicken McNuggets (as much as I pretty much hated the McDonald's ads) got to me, and I wanted to try the sweet chili sauce (limited time offer...you know, to eat like the Canadians and Olympians at Olympic Village...).
Earlier this week, Brian went out to get McDonald's for us, and I requested Chicken McNuggets. I could NOT believe when he reported to me that a six-pack cost $3! $3, I tell you! That. Is an outrage. 50 cents per nugget?! Ridiculous. Had I been there for the purchase, I probably would have passed on them, but they were tasty.
Second. This was mere days after the closing ceremonies. Not weeks. Not even one week. Brian was informed that they no longer carried sweet chili sauce. It was still on McDonalds.com right before he left. Disappointment.
The real kick in the shins about this? My bag had an Olympian snowboarder on it and it ADVERTISED SWEET CHILI SAUCE! I told Brian I refused the bag, but I don't think I taught McDonald's any lessons.
I just watched Super Size Me yesterday and laughed when he was like "the nuggets are made from chickens with abnormally large breasts, they're ground up and then pressed into familiar shapes" I don't know what makes those nuggets familiar shapes, but whatever.
ReplyDeleteI guess the familiar "shape" is Chicken McNugget? These that I had last week were battered, not breaded (though, again, I don't know if they ever really were breaded) and the shapes varied.
ReplyDeleteHead to Pittsburg, KS. 50 wings, 2 X-Large fries, 2 X-Large drinks for $14.99! It took 6 of us to almost eat all of it. Haha!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a deal!
