I had some Chicken McNuggets recently, for the first time in over ten years, I reckon.
I thought they’d have matured over the years (Which is not to imply these nuggets themselves were ten years old, but I wouldn’t have put it past them), I thought they’d be different, given all that “now made with white meat!” bit McDonald was going on so much about a few years back, and right now, still. But I was mcstaken. The ‘gets* were exactly as I remembered them being. The same unpleasant skin-like breading process, the same empty taste, the same mc. A person known only as Yamamanama insists the taste is styrofoam, but considering that I ate ten of them I don’t want to think about that at the moment. The only thing perceivably different to me about the nuggets was the packaging, which more resembled the style of the Burger King chicken nuggettender box. Hey, why isn’t there a Burger King around here? I’d much rather go there than McDonald’s. And why do I suddenly have a desire to coat these nuggets with a fine layer of Morton brand salt?
*A popular rumor from the ’80s states that in America… there are no ‘gets, which I still don’t understand the pervasiveness of

That doesn’t reflect the “big change” whose memory was the lingering impetus for me to dare try the things again when I inexplicably found myself at a McDonald’s to use a restroom on the 4eth of this month. Given my experience, an update doesn’t seem necessary, but think of how many other people might feel compelled to eat a chicken mcnugget this century based on an assumption of improvement. They shouldn’t have to suffer!
