"Chicken mcnugget...get in me belly" Mmmmmmmm. I would rather live to age 50 and eat whatever and whenever I want than to live to age 90 and eat "health food"...heck! I'd probably have a heart attack eating 'health food' since my body is not used to it.


hehehehe.:)

look at tyhe bright side...you can eat there for years...get fat then sue mcdonalds...kinda like all those greddy buttmunchers who are tryin to sue amazon .com for the 20 pack soundcard deal.
Hmm.. Or like the smokers suing cigarette companies cause they couldn't figure out inhaling smoke into your lungs was a bad thing ... (although I like teh fact that cigarette companies get shafted .. I'm totally for that). You know ... firefighters are stupid. They should just forget masks and inhale for a free fix, right? I can hear it in court now... 'Your honor, I didn't know eating mcdonalds for 40 years would make me fat and have heart problems ... really'. :)

Why are you busting on firefighters? Gee...I can see it now....as you are crying about your burned Malibu Ken doll, trying to be comforted by your local Fire department, your house goes up in smoke. Of course, they'll be getting their nicotine high because they'll just take your suggestion and take off their SCBA while in the fire.

You know, you really are pathetic. Ya know, If you think we're so stupid, lzpoof, grab your neighbor's garden hose and put any fire you have out on your own. We'll stay at the station or respond to some one that actually appreciates the job we do.

BTW...I apologize to every one else for the "flames", but I'm a volunteer Firefighter, and people that make comments like above really irritate me. They are the first ones to cry about a little damage to carpet or windows when we busted our butts to save their lives and as much of their possessions as possible.

The best Chicken Nuggets ever were the KFC nuggets.
Too bad they discontinued them about 8 years ago.
I could eat a ton of them without any sauce.

You people don't know chicken until you've eaten at ZAXBY'S...

They are pretty much southeast only, but damn... best chicken i've ever had...

And they should know chicken, considering that's all they do... is chicken!

Mickey D's nuggets aren't that bad, but Wendys' are definitely better.
50 for that price, though, and I'd be eating chicken nuggets every night.
WITH hot mustard. I like the hot mustard sauce so much that I'll pop one open and drink the sauce right out of the cup.
MMMMMM.

I worked at McDonalds in high school. Believe it or not, I had more respect for the place after working there than I did before. They've gone WAY down hill in the past few years with the meat warmers and quick cooking. We used to only warm the breakfast sausage. Used to be that your McDonalds sandwich was 10 minutes old, at most. (Okay, maybe a little longer during the slow periods.)

I need to call my local arches and check this deal out.

HAHA.. Bucket of Glory!!!

Dude nobody really knows what spams are made out of, but we all eat it cuz its so dayam good.
So why not nuggets? It's not like the meat or eggs in mcdonald looks real either..
Eating any of those fast food burgers from any fast food place is a 800 calorie heart attack wrapped for our delight anyway

:)

yum.. nuggets.. dRoOL

Hey ... dumbie... I was being SARCASTIC ! I was busting on people who complain about their own smoking ... not firefighters. I was making the point that when we all see firefighters with masks on , we should get the clue that .. gee.. . maybe breathing smoke in isn't a good idea. I am honestly amazed you couldn't see the sarcasm in the post. WOW!

I actually ate 50 mcnuggets in one sitting, on a dare. I survived, but barely.
The last 10 took an hour and a half to put down. It was not because I was full, but because they were so bloody disgusting that I couldn't swallow anymore. I've always refused to eat at mcdonalds since I don't enjoy their "food," but I'm the kind of guy who can't say no to a challenge.
My original strategy was to eat the first 30 or so without sauce, and the rest would be smooth sailing, with a sauce of my choice. This helped nothing, as the sauce is pretty nasty too.
Nearing the end I was slurring my words, couldn't see straight, and my motor skills were noticably hampered. It was very similar to being drunk.

The 50 mcnugget bucket brings back a lot of bad memories.

This is the best reason I've heard in a while.
This is why people under a certain age should not be tried as adults.

Deal is NOT available in the San Diego Area, and I'm assuming the same goes for Los Angeles and california, but don't take my word for it.

Quote from McDonald's Headquarters: "85 percent of McDonald's stores are privately owned and they have an option on whether to do certain promotions which are available to them."

So, call your local McDonald's to see if they're doing it in their area

omg dude, gross!

nuggets are remanufactured chicken "parts", basically anything that cant be sold in a market (skins, fat, tendons)
similar "parts" are sold for various pet food products

it's mixed with a number of ingrediants to preserve, help it stick together, add flavor

ever wonder why they found a chicken head mcnugget? (gives you an idea about what goes in them)
__________________________________________________________________________________________

so is this a chicken version of SPAM? any one who likes SPAM, shouldn't have a problem with the nuggets :confused:
