I haven't had McNuggets in like 5 years.

Maybe I should have some again soon.

I've seen something similar, bacon rampage. Back in the '80's I worked at a restaurant close to the Daytona speedway, on race day we offered brunch, buffet style. Of course bacon was on the menu but it ran out as the delivery truck shorted us so the manager asked me to cut some small sirloin steaks to substitute which I did, about 50. Shortly after he comes back and asks for another 50, what happened I asked?, turned out a customer wanted bacon so bad he became irate at being offered steak instead so he grabbed the entire tray of steaks and threw it against a wall!

Comparing McNuggets and bacon? For shame, good sir!

What is it with people and McNuggets? It's not as if they even taste nice...

Quoted for truth. I remember when McNuggets became popular in the '80s and Wendy's countered with their chicken nuggets. All my friends LOVED McNuggets and I couldn't understand it; Wendy's has always had infinitely better chicken than McDonalds. a 5-piece Wendy's nugget for 99 cents is WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than a 6-piece pile of McNugget garbage for ~$2.82.

Mcdonalds nuggets are better than wendys with sweet & sour sauce. Wendys nuggets are better than mcdonalds if ketchup is used. I usually prefer mcdonalds nuggets because I like the sweet & sour sauce with them, but every once in a while I go for wendys.

id say your price argument is wrong...

http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyl...tle_off_about_mcdonalds_chicken_mcnugget.html

Walletpop scrutinized the Mickey D's menu and reports that the six-piece order of nuggets is less of a value at around 47 cents per nugget than the smaller four-piece, which comes out to roughly 45 cents per nugget.

Because customers tend to assume that value increases as the portions get larger, McDonald's may be pulling off a subtle "sleight of hand" by nudging up the price of the popular six-piece, Walletpop says.

The 10- and 20-piece nuggets do offer a better deal than their smaller counterparts, at 36 cents and 29 cents per nugget, respectively. But hold that 20-piece order: in most areas, where 20 nuggets cost about $7, you can save two dollars by ordering five four-piece orders off the Dollar Menu.

For some reason, the price for the 5 piece nuggets at Wendy's cost $1.XX now in CA. The weird thing is that the not so new spicy chicken nuggets are 5 for 99 cents (I like the spicy ones more). Still cheaper than McD.

I can see we have a true McNugget gourmet among us...

Dude, I used to work at McDonald's. I'm not joking, this doesn't surprise me. People take Chicken McNuggets that seriously. Most of the customer problems we had were about McNuggets.

Sucks to be you that does not know what real good food taste like.

Always gotta love ATOT. Can't like anything that has a commercial on tv and if you do, even if you eat good food all the time, it automatically means you have no taste cus you like fast food.
