That’s really extreme. I love their chicken nuggets but I would never eat that quantity unless I was sharing them with the family and cared enough to eat them with me. 10pc is enough for me.

All three of my boys will eat McNuggets when the mood strikes, so we regularly go thru 40 ( 4 x 10 Piece ) and I could see us getting that bucket size.
