Any towns still have the bucket of nuggets? I remember I was in Kansas City a few years ago visiting a friend, and saw the McDonald's had a bucket of nuggets for about $8.99 (looked like one of those KFC buckets). It was pretty sweet...


I live in Kansas City and I could never get myself to order a "bucket o' nuggets". I like the nuggets with the Hot Mustard sauce.

Could I get a price-match at wendy's? They're a little better over there; just down the block.

hell everything is fattening if you eat to much of it. Moderate portions are the way to go. But way too many people in this country don't see it that way. Oh well sucks for them.

The best part about McNuggets is that they're preprocessed. You know what you're getting, and there's less grade-D chicken flavor to get in the way of all that Sweet n' Sour Sauce.

Now if only I could find some place that sells McD's Orange Drink in bottles, any size, I'd be a happy man.

Do yourselves a favor and go to Wendy's instead. $8 will buy you 40 pieces of their nuggets and it tastes more like real chicken. Plus, their sauces are better!

I second that...the old ones were juicy and full of fatty goodness...now they're all dry and crap.

That guy's a jerk. Fast food wasn't really ever meant to be eaten 3x a day. And furthermore, most college food is probably just as bad...pizza, burgers, wings. And lots of students eat that stuff all year long, so I guess we're all splotchy and 250 pounds with liver problems too huh? OK, we might have liver problems but that's from binge drinking =p Seriously, the reason why people probably don't get that sick at college either is because occasionally they probably have enough sense to eat a regular meal with enough veggies and stuff.

Why doesn't he go after the hot dog stands in New York City and see what happens after 1 month of eating only fried donuts in the morning from the donut carts and 3 hot dogs for lunch and 3 hot dogs for dinner? Idiot. I'd bet he'd deteriorate just as badly, if not worse.

I have a hunch that if this idiot had just not supersized everything, eaten a side salad along with dinner and lunch, and taken centrum daily, he'd probably have been fine. In fact, probably if he had just supersized, but drank lemonade for lunch, and diet coke for dinner in the supersizing, then substituted a salad for the fries(I think mcdonald's allows this now) he'd have been perfectly healthy. Or something close to healthy.

Maybe I should eat at Red Lobster twice a day and see what happens when you eat shrimp and lobster for a month. My cholesterol would probably go through the roof. But that proves nothing because only a moron would think eating 60 times a month at red lobster could be healthy.

I agree. McD is not my favorite place, but to be fair, the same thing would happen at any fast food type joint (and some sit down places too). You also have to realize he's pimping his movie (no distributor yet according another article)....
