Chicken nuggets come in 4 shapes and 4 shapes only.

iWentBananas · 2012-09-16T19:03:40+00:00

This seems like acceptable empirical data.

theNYEHHH · 2012-09-16T22:06:54+00:00

I got my chicken nuggets to spell love once..

d14da62 · 2012-09-16T22:38:20+00:00

Ah yes, the boot, the ghost, the lime and the dime.

hail_taco · 2012-09-16T21:05:28+00:00

The boot's always been my favorite. The toe is good at getting the last little bit of sauce.

thelustysloth · 2012-09-16T21:30:27+00:00

I eat from most boot shaped, to least boot shaped.

reddy-toosevelt · 2012-09-16T19:52:13+00:00

Two legs a torso and a head. I use to always make little bodies out of them.

How did you not notice this as a kid? I noticed this. I'm oblivious.

stringerbell · 2012-09-16T22:46:43+00:00

Well, they are made in mass quantities by a machine...

You're really asking for it.

hail_taco · 2012-09-16T23:59:19+00:00

crj123082 · 2012-09-17T00:08:45+00:00

louisiana, pacman ghost, shield, circle

Iamsqueegee · 2012-09-16T23:39:42+00:00

FALSE! There is the occasional 'other' shape. http://i.imgur.com/xTjoG.jpg

EuropeanLady · 2012-09-16T23:06:11+00:00

Is this true that they come in 4 shapes, or a joke? I've had many chicken nuggets, and they all look oval and pretty uniformly shaped.

JediMasterSam · 2012-09-16T23:06:44+00:00

Didn't they have them in the shapes of the ronald mcdonald gang? Or in the shape of Grimace? I think I remember that.

rumckle · 2012-09-16T23:06:50+00:00

That sample size is too small, you need at least 120 nuggets to be sure.

oangbsite · 2012-09-16T23:56:11+00:00

It's like Lucky Charms...but made of chicken.

Tisatalks · 2012-09-17T00:06:27+00:00

The round ones taste the best

swaggamer420 · 2012-09-17T00:18:40+00:00

I worked a few years at McDonalds to pay off some debt and I was shocked to find out how few people knew this.

Fun story: At one point the store I was working in had this dinosaur-campaign. Dinosaur toys in the happy meals, funny dinasaur balloons, dinosaur flags (wtf) and that sort of shit. We also got a fuckton of dinosaur shaped nuggets. 3 different shapes if I remember correctly. I think they idea was to make the nuggets fun and novel to increase sales. The exact opposite happened. After the first two weeks our sales of nuggets had dropped by over 80%. People were disgusted to find out that it was possible to shape the chicken in any damn way wanted. The campaign went on for a few more weeks but the boss decided against continuing with the dino-nuggets for the remainder of the time :)

For some reason this reminded me of mount rushmore.

miss_j_bean · 2012-09-17T00:14:09+00:00

When I worked at McD in the 90s, I'd always try to give people the same amount of each shape. If it was two six packs, they were evenly split among two containers.

bigfunkychiken · 2012-09-17T00:14:29+00:00

I never realized they were specific shapes.. :(

ICantDoBackflips · 2012-09-17T00:15:26+00:00

I exposed your karma conspiracy.

The jig is up.

Ginger-Nerd · 2012-09-17T00:16:05+00:00

Well great, now i want chicken nuggets.

TrixieDawn · 2012-09-17T00:20:35+00:00

I call the boot one Louisiana.

Zedh · 2012-09-17T00:30:27+00:00

I have always noticed the boot shaped one. It made me happy but at the same time, disheartened me.

JAYFL · 2012-09-17T00:30:29+00:00

I always wondered if I asked for only boots they'd know what I was talking about

helloxgoodbye · 2012-09-17T00:38:11+00:00

boot, tombstone, oval, circle

grizzly6ear · 2012-09-17T00:39:17+00:00

I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!

ICritMyPants · 2012-09-17T00:50:20+00:00

I actually, somehow, saw this as X, square, triangle and O.

N-e-i-t-o · 2012-09-17T00:50:52+00:00

Boot, Tombstone, Arrowhead, Moon

ItsCaretaker · 2012-09-17T00:51:52+00:00

Always named this like this: Boot, Tombstone, Oval, and Circle.

reposting in /r/mildlyinteresting? I thought we were better than that here!

fujiman · 2012-09-17T00:55:15+00:00

This is true. My dad works for the company that provides their nuggets. There are 4 shapes that were designed specifically for McDonald's. Don't really know why, but they do.

the_jimmie_rustler · 2012-09-17T00:59:27+00:00

Fuck, now I want McDonald's.

ilovemyboom · 2012-09-17T01:03:59+00:00

THERE. ARE. FOUR. NUGGETS.

carpii · 2012-09-17T01:06:28+00:00

They look like deep fried pacman sprites

EVJeevy · 2012-09-17T01:18:15+00:00

McDonalds make their fries by extruding the potato and make long lines of them out of mash then cut to correct length. Lay out an order of fries on your tray and arrange them by size, and lo, the same thing!

blatherflather · 2012-09-17T05:06:13+00:00

wow.

straighten · 2012-09-16T23:37:03+00:00

I don't know why, but I've NEVER been able to eat the round ones. My SO knows this, and always trades them out without me even having to ask :] He loves my crazy, I guess.

skyfox315 · 2012-09-16T23:27:27+00:00

RICH_LITTLE · 2012-09-16T19:26:46+00:00

I should have noticed this growing up... I always liked the "boot" or "L" shaped nug because I could always get the best sweet and sour scoop/dip with it

FellowEnt · 2012-09-16T23:54:55+00:00

Chicken nuggets are made from blending chicken and egg into a paste and coating it in batter.

They will be put into moulds to create the 'organic' image of them being chicken pieces rather than processed chicken
