OT: 50 piece chicken mcnuggets!!!!
I was driving by my local Mcdonalds and they had a sign advertising a 50 piece Chicken McNugget meal for $10 bucks.
I could have sworn I read that wrong, so I googled it to confirm this when I got back to work and look what I found.

Sparty was already on it. I just thought this was kind of funny. Enjoy.

take that, McDonalds.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:46 PM ^
I could say to my wife...honey, I've brought home dinner for you and the kids...dozen nuggets each...$2.50 per...McValue indeed.
February 4th, 2010 at 4:58 PM ^
chicken nuggets
February 4th, 2010 at 4:58 PM ^
but it'll make me feel Sour.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
Sounds like I need a couple of those with the next keg party.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
Saw this too. If they had this promotion for 4-20, they'd be bankrolling (Not like they aren't already).
February 4th, 2010 at 5:01 PM ^
Does it come in a meal?
February 4th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
Yes. I saw the sign and shat myself laughing (irony).
February 4th, 2010 at 9:06 PM ^
took the kids to McD's tonight in Kazoo, MI and it is $10 for 50 nuggets and for $15 you get the 50 plus 2 large drinks and 2 large fries.....
February 4th, 2010 at 5:02 PM ^
Cue the Tuba...
February 4th, 2010 at 5:22 PM ^
A 50-piece McNuggets is the way to go. A 20-piece isn't a bad bet either, and that comes in a meal for like $7.99 with two medium fries and two drinks.
Is it healthy to eat 20 McNuggets? Probably not. Is it delicious? Absolutely.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
there is nothing wrong with eating a 20 piece... in my younger days i used to have what i called my "fat bastard meal" at mcdonalds... its consisted of: 20 piece mcnugget, 3 plain cheese burgers, large fry and a large chocolate milk shake... i'm sure people can figure out why i was that hungry...
February 4th, 2010 at 5:35 PM ^
I don't know if my once cast iron gut could handle 50 reformed chicken paste chunks anymore. All of my free fast food connections have sadly dried up since then, I also used to order fat bastard-style meals, but only if Denise was taking my order.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
one for every fast food place... taco bell being the cheapest and burger king being the most expensive...
February 4th, 2010 at 6:18 PM ^
I think Taco Bell you can still order by the pound. Makes for great drunk food, just stumble in there say you want 5 dollars worth of whatever and you have over a pound of food. All their stuff is bad out of the same basic ingredients.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
to thank all of those "Fat Bastard Meals",
for helping to turn me into a Fat Bastard.
February 4th, 2010 at 7:47 PM ^
"reformed chicken paste" -- the technical term, "mechanically separated chicken," is even more frightening -- there is this, courtesy of our friends from SpartanTailgate:
February 4th, 2010 at 8:08 PM ^
God I wish that box was my mouth. Seriously though, part of me wishes you hadn't posted this pic. I really don't think I can eat another mcnugget, or any other MSC again. Dammit.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:18 AM ^
Yeah, I don't know that I want any big long pink things in pouring in my mouth. But to each their own.
February 4th, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
I had to actually google that because I couldn't believe it.
So how does THAT turn into the "all-white meat chicken breast" you find in a nugget?
February 4th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
Anyone know?
February 4th, 2010 at 6:03 PM ^
It's on in Arizona... it may be Thursdays only around here, though.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
But according to their drive through chart you only get a total of 3 dipping sauces so dip sparingly!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:25 PM ^
If this isn't proof there is a God then your just a hater..
February 4th, 2010 at 6:04 PM ^
I maintain no loving God would allow this unhealthy travesty of a delicious bargain to exist. Atheists all the way!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:26 PM ^
I used to work at McDonald's during high school, and they tend to do this during SuperBowl weekend/Sunday. My guess is that's what this is, too...
February 4th, 2010 at 5:27 PM ^
I don't know how many are offering it -- I have two by my house (I'm in Arizona) and only one offers it, so if I need 50 McNuggets, I know where to go.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:30 PM ^
50 pc nugget makes one helluva dish to pass at a Super Bowl Party
February 4th, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
Do all of you guys really eat that much McDonald's? I'm not a health-nut by any means but even 15 chicken nuggets sounds a bit gluttonous to me.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
but I can pound 25 of the Wendy's nuggs without a problem.
15 nuggs isn't that much food.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:20 PM ^
25-30 here without a problem.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:41 PM ^
I'd get nauseated by that point. I'll eat a couple of cheeseburgers, and maybe a six piece, that's about it. I don't like to eat fast food too often.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:21 AM ^
..but now they have the spicy nuggets, better still, 5 for .99 cents! So actually you're getting 50 for a little cheaper than $10, and they're better. They're at least partly made from...chicken.
February 4th, 2010 at 7:44 PM ^
As for nuggets, chickfila holds the crown. They are addictive. In the good ole' days my brother and I killed a 100 piece tray and a fifth of Jager in one sitting. My brother and I both cherish this very special moment in our lives.
February 4th, 2010 at 8:53 PM ^
Also, you and your brother are champions at life.
That is all.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:14 PM ^
Nuggs are amazing.
I used to like their old style strips better, but they ruined the strips when they changed them.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
That could be just a Super Bowl special, but the McDonald's by me has been offering it (and the 20-piece meals) for several months now, so there must be some that do it all the time.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
Sounds like I have my spot for Valentines Day!!
February 4th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
Classy.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:55 PM ^
First Demar and then McDonalds goes and does something like this. I know where I'm going to celebrate.

February 4th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^
Hopefully this is just a Super Bowl Party ploy. That's way too much, even for a fast food giant like McDonalds.
However, just bringing a 50 "piecer!?" into work and acting like you were going to eat it might be worth the cost in shocked stares alone--and that's assuming the random fat dude doesn't ask you for one.
February 4th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^
How much of a deal is that? Don't you get 4 for $1? So you're getting an extra 10 for free?
Color me excited.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
At the Wrigley McD's.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:15 PM ^
For the price of parking there for a Cubs game you could get approximately 200 McNuggets.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:07 PM ^
Me and a friend of mine have had an ongoing argument for years as to whether a 50 piece exists. We even had money on it, but he'd never believe any of the evidence I found...... now that they're advertising it, I get to collect.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:22 PM ^
Remember that terrible ad campaign by McDonald's asking if you were a Nuggnut?
I'm not. And that was stupid.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
I was a copywriter, and wrote some stuff you've probably seen. Thankfully, not the Nuggnut debacle. Thanks for calling it out. Made my day.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:40 PM ^
How does one get into the copywriting business? I've been told by a lot of people I'm a good writer, and copywriitng would be a hell of a lot more interesting than what I'm doing now.

Late 80's. Mad Men is the early version of advertising. Today, it's more like "Nothing in Common" with Tom Hanks. But not nearly as fun because the economy sucks and agencies are losing accounts as companies are cutting back, so people are losing their jobs left and right.
If you want to get into advertising, you put a portfolio together of sample ads (there are schools nowadays that teach you how to do this; not so when I was looking for a job) and then you find the agencies that hire "juniors" - that's what you are when you have no experience. Or you graduate from a good portfolio school and get recruited. It's a tough racket. Very competitive.
