    During many Olympics, Usain Bolt sustained himself on nothing but 100 Chicken McNuggets a day, because they have a really optimal Carb to Protein ratio and are very consistent (whereas strange new food in foreign countries might be risky).

    So, you’re just eating like one of the world’s best athletes.

      Hilarious, but if they actually assumed that then they would allow you to put different toppings on each half of the sub.

    They don’t call them “Serving Suggestions” because they’re mandatory, they call them that because they’re a challenge.

    I liked Chicken McNuggets when I ate meat, and then one day I learned that they have four pre-stamped shapes and something about that grossed me out so I never ordered them again.

    That’s why the US is so obese. I don’t eat junk food. I liked the nuggets when I still ate meat and smoked weed in high school. Even with the munchies I couldn’t even eat 10. And I live in The Netherlands so they are much less unhealthy (less fat, less sugar, better quality meat) then in the US.

    Meanwhile I’ve always been the one that takes the smallest possible meal at McDonald’s, and would think that 5 nuggets with fries and drinks is just enough. In fact I hate going to restaurants in general because portions are always much too big for me. I can’t usually take doggy bags, and I feel like I’m wasting most of what I’m served. I can’t recall even finishing a plate in a (real) restaurant; there’s always too much. I’m always like “oh it was really tasty but I can’t eat much more!”

      I’m a small person, but I’m definitely still hungry after 5 nuggets and some fries at McDonald’s. The food isn’t particularly filling like at all. Don’t get me wrong, I still get a single meal instead of multiple, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still hungry.

      Me too! I so so so wish more places offered half portions. There are maybe two restaurants near me that offer half portions on every menu item and it’s amazing. It is just the right amount and I really don’t mind paying the 50%+$1 price or whatever.

    It’s probably assuming that you’re also getting fries, a drink and an ice cream cone each or something. That simply cannot be enough.

    Lol when the 50 piece first came out. I was just eating those on my own and the boys would buy their own 50 piece. Worked great for the munchies and being buzzed.

    Now I can’t even do 10 nuggies. Age, man…
