Everyone loves McDonald’s chicken nuggets
McDonald’s chicken nuggets debuted in 1983, and diners have been clamoring for them ever since. Not even Olympic athletes can resist the allure of these battered, deep-fried morsels. During the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, gold medalist Usain Bolt estimates he ate 1,000 chicken nuggets (for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) during his ten-day stay because his stomach couldn’t handle traditional Chinese food.
And in May 2021, McDonald’s chicken nuggets were part of a special BTS Meal, a collaboration with the K-pop megastars that coincided with the release of the group’s single “Butter.” Diners were able to order the BTS Meal—with new Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces—in U.S. locations (including this unique Sedona McDonald’s) as well as in ten other countries.
In honor of the Mickey D’s meal that gets almost as much love as the classic McDonald’s apple pie, we’re serving up some food facts trivia about one of McDonald’s best-selling items of all time.
