  • Thanks, Mat, not even seen the intro yet and already see something I can’t unsee, I just wanted to eat my nuggets in peace without worrying about how they are shaped
  • @EvilDaveCanada
    My home town was one of the cities where 'Chicken & Chips' were tested. They came in a special box that held the fries on one side and a number of nuggets in the other. I nearly cried when they went away until they came back in their current format.

    the four horsemen of chicken mcnuggets: the boot, the bell, the bowtie, and the ball
  • @ggman9960
    I would consider myself a Mcdonalds fan and as addressed at 0:16, the boot nugget is supposedly a favorite. The boot also happens to be my favorite because when flipped upside down, the protruding piece of chicken can be used as a handle when dipping. I hope my opinion has shed some light on the reason that Boots are the public's favorite shape.

    This is the only guy I can watch go in depth why chicken nuggets are a lie, I love this channel
  • @LunarFate_
    I love binging all these McDonald's videos while I'm on break at McDonald's 😂😂
  • @bryanz7325
    Love this channel and all the other theory channels!❤
  • @shivorath
    Fun fact about the 7 countries study: it was a scam. He started with dozens of countries and threw out all the ones that didn't fit his preconceived notions.
  • @GTP2763
    I'm surprised he hasn't done a food theory yet about that weird controversy about how what was "Inside" The nuggets
  • The key to healthy diet: moderation. Dont shove more food in your mouth than you need, and make sure you're mixing up what types of foods youre shoving in your mouth.
  • @Weirdo_Kai.
    My family would go to McDonald's a lot when I was a kid and the biggest disappointment when we got a happy meal, we got a toy that we already had. Then for some reason, I eventually loved it when I got toys that I already had. I have no idea why.

    "I'm going to research what's healthy for you." Eats a Christmas tree.
  • @pico1201
    There's a really good documentary to this, that's actually a counterargument to super size me, that delves way deeper into this
  • @WestrumVerus
    "Santa invented Sprite" this and "McDonald's chicken nuggets" that. I wanna know how you get the peanut butter in Reese's cups to be like that. Like, it's not in the form we usually see peanut butter in (smooth and sticky); it's a bit crumbly. And yet it tastes SO good. I want answers to what kind of magic happens in getting the peanut butter inside the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  • @puffdaddy4537
    I am sitting in the McDonald’s parking lot, just ate a 20 piece nugget. This should be fun to watch. I’m sure there is absolutely nothing here that will make me regret ordering those chicken nuggets
  • @Just_Rhys
    1:24 Can we take a moment to appreciate Editor Dan and Jerika in the background
  • @CarnageEthan
    I noticed that when I started working there, the burgers are also Already so salty and then we put more salt and pepper on them
