Yep, it’s real…living about 20 miles from where this happened, it’s been all over the news. Personally, I’d be grossed out enough that I doubt I’d ever eat at McD’s again. ---

That picture is priceless- I suspect fraud, myself. I worked in a restaurant and we made wings- How could you take that out of the frozen wing bag, fry it up, remove it, box it up and never notice that it looks like a CHICKEN HEAD?? Too gross for words, either way. Zette ---

This from another news article on the same story: > [@](#): > > The Ortegas also said their children now refuse to eat chicken and that their youngest child has had a nightmare about the fried chicken’s head They’re probably sneaking up behind him when he’s in bed sleeping and shaking a rubber chicken at him “I’m the ghost of the chicken heeeeeeeead…I will kill you soooooooon” Zette ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zette \* > \*\*That picture is priceless- I suspect fraud, myself. I worked in a restaurant and we made wings- How could you take that out of the frozen wing bag, fry it up, remove it, box it up and never notice that it looks like a CHICKEN HEAD?? Too gross for words, either way. \*\* Probably by opening a great big bag of McD’s certified McWings and dumping them in the fryer basket, then dumping the basket in a heat tray and finally by grabbing a handful and slapping them in the box. Its fast food–assembly line style–they’re not a diner making meals to order. I can see how it can happen. BTW, there’s now talk of the customer holding the _McHead_ “for analysis” and “children with nightmares” who are vowing “refusing to eat chicken.” Oh the horror! I smell a chicken-fried lawsuit… ASIDE: InternetLegend, thanks!! 😉 ---

When I was in my early 20’s, Donalds introduced their McChicken Sandwich. I ate eight of them in one day. The last one I ate, had beak in it. Well, it was a huge peice of cartilage or something. I haven’t had one since…or cince ---

The last time I went to McDonalds (about 5 years ago) all they served were Chicken McNuggets. Small half dollar sized chucks of processed chicken. Do they now serve actually chicken wings now? I supsect somebody mashed some nuggets together and fried them up to look like a head. ---

This made [The Washington Post](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7669-2000Nov30.html) this morning. And, I also read in the NY Times that mad cow disease is spreading over Europe. It’s still not too late to become vegetarian, people. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mcchicken-head/43437.md?page=2)
