My eldest child is a vegetarian but will make an exception for mcnuggets. She could eat them every single day of the year. With the tangy barbeque stuff. ---

I don’t get nuggets when I go to Mickey D’s, at least not recently. When I was,a kid, the sizes were: 6, 9, 20. What about now? ---

Just checked the site, now they have: 4, 6, 10, 20, 40. I can barely finish 20+fries. Who eats 40 in a sitting? ---

I always wanted to sculpt a chicken out of McNuggets, then serve. ---

I usually get Buffalo or just ketchup but now they have a Habanero Ranch (or they did a couple months ago) that is my new favorite. Damnit, now I want McNuggets, and I’m supposed to be starting a new diet. ---

I remember a time when the 10 piece was more expensive than buying 3 4-pieces, but since then they’ve adjusted the prices so it all comes out the same (4-pieces are $1, 20-pieces are $5, though prices can vary between locations). ---

I just went to the cafe at my college and got chicken nuggets for the first time there ever. Damn you all. ---

> [@buddha\_david](#): > > Where are the nuggets on a chicken? I can’t find the nuggets on a chicken. You gotta know where to look. That’s the difference between “chicken nuggets” and “chicken tenders”. Nuggets come from boy chickens, tenders come from girl chickens. Trust me, I was raised on a farm. ---

Hot mustard but they stopped making it so screw them I only got the nuggets for the mustard, the nuggets were simply the vehicle that carried the yummy mustard to my mouth ---

> [@DCnDC](#): > > I _love_ their “Tangy Barbeque” sauce, and they never give you enough (I like to use _a lot_). And the self-serve sauce is always either out, or missing, or effed up in some way. I’ve tried finding a commercial sauce that tastes like theirs, but nothing I’ve ever tried quite matches. [This](http://www.amazon.com/Annies-Natural-Original-Recipe-Organic/dp/B004NR21L2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407956615&sr=8-1&keywords=annie%27s+barbecue+sauce) is the closest I was able to get when dealing with a young relative who didn’t want any sauce that wasn’t McD’s. He would eat it, so I assume that means it was close. ---

It’s been a while since I’ve had McNuggets. Barbecue and sweet and sour were/are my go-to sauces, but I’ve never tried the buffalo, hot mustard, ranch, etc.; if you’re offering, I’d like to try them all. > [@DCnDC](#): > > I thought those were tater tots. So did I. Regardless, I now have a renewed desire to try out “Franch” dipping sauce. ---

I voted hot mustard BUT it has to be the older hot mustard from the 90s before they changed it. ---

Chik-Fil-A nuggets with Chik-Fil-A sauce. Chik-Fil-A nuggets are actual chunks of chicken. StG ---

I’ve seen signs near me offering as many nuggets as you want for a quarter apiece. $10 for 40 doesn’t sound like a bad deal for feeding a bunch of picky kids. ---
