Apparently, McNuggets are made from 100% white meat now... except the "old" McNuggets were also white. :chatter

They're using less bleach now. It's a net savings, and part of their new health concious initiative.

...Avoiding lawsuits, and lost of profit as reported a few quarters ago.

I tasted McNuggets only once, it had a texture unlike any other chicken that I tasted before like KFC, Swiss Chalet or my favourite St-Hubert. I just don't know why, but I kept thinking of Charlton Heston's 70s film Soylent Green (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070723/) for some strange reason.

I always thought the breading around them tasted more like human skin than the chicken itself.

The old "meat" was kind of.. gray.

I think Mcnuggets debuted in 1980. I still remember Letterman saying "If there's part of a chicken that can honestly be called the 'nugget', do you want it in your mouth?"

1983, Max (Thank you, I Love the 80s Strikes Back)

I have to say, I think those new strips they have are better by leaps and bounds. Although, that still isn't saying much.

Thank you sir.


An OAO moment: I know what you mean about them changing the Mcnuggets. It's exactly the same smokescreen as W's new forest policy.

Chicken Mcnuggets are the only thing I like from McDonalds, I like the skin.

What really grosses me out is that you know that the chicken meat is all blended in a giant machine that pushes out a steady turd of a glue substance and chicken that has the DNA of 3 million chickens and all the bacteria that comes with then to be made into a bit size morsel of Mcdonalds goodness. I remember eating a nugget once and I bit down and there was a hard piece of fat inside and the whole afternoon I kept gagging wanting to puke.

That happens at least twice in each batch of McNuggets at our local McDonald's. I don't know if we're just so out-of-the-way that they purposely send us the bad ones or what.

Slightly off topic, but I remember one of my teachers telling me that they shut down school and had a parade the day McDonald's opened here in town. :(

Factory-rejected nuggets. :(

I don't think the term "skin" has any application when talking of McNuggets ... "breading" maybe but not "skin". I think that if there were any skin involved at all that McDonalds would charge extra for it.

Sure, just like the way the Government won't allow press coverage of returning dead servicemen!
