Could you eat a 20 nugget ‘share box’ alone

NotSureHowIGotHere · 08/10/2019 12:17

Feeling a bit sorry for myself because I tripped and fell down the stairs and have injured my foot. Can’t walk properly so thought I’d order myself some lunch to cheer myself up and so I’m not having to stand in the kitchen - that’s my excuse anyway Wink

20 nuggets from McDonald’s is only 60p more than a box of 9. Would I be massively greedy to get 20?

As a disclaimer I haven’t had breakfast and have a dog who could share some nuggets Grin

No, but that’s because you couldn’t pay me to eat a chicken nugget.
Chicken wings from dominos though, I can eat a box of 21z

EchidnasPhone · 08/10/2019 12:19

Yes! Easily. I love nuggets and I wouldn’t be sharing.

Seeline · 08/10/2019 12:20

My very petite 15 yo DD, who eats like a bird, has been known to put away a box of 20 so I'm sure you'll be fine Grin Enjoy (hope your foot mends soon).

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 08/10/2019 12:21

I love that on mumsnet posters explain why they are getting McDonald’s for when they healthy eating gang come out I’m force. Like it’s nuggets not crack

Yes I probably could eat 20 tbh.

Go for it....

incontrolofmyownlife · 08/10/2019 12:21

Definitely! I'd get a portion of fries too and be done with it Grin

RushianDisney · 08/10/2019 12:21

I can and do easily, never been overweight in my life. I had a box on my night shift recently and was very miffed that my colleagues wanted to share Grin

Comefromaway · 08/10/2019 12:22

No, I couldn't eat more than about 12 nuggets.

I love MCD chicken nuggets but I actually enjoy them with salad!

sugarbum · 08/10/2019 12:22

no I'd struggle. I order 20 if we go to macdonalds though because DS1 likes them and as you say its not that much more. I let him have half and distribute the rest between me and DS2

JemilyJ · 08/10/2019 12:23

Yes, when I went to a conference and the “light refreshments” (that in previous years had been sausage rolls, cheese straws, and a few sandwiches) turned out to be crisps and cupcakes I had a 20 nugget box on the train home for dinner.

pinksparkleunicorns · 08/10/2019 12:23

Do it. 9 just isn't enough!!!

Doyoumind · 08/10/2019 12:23

Yes. No problem.

Passthecherrycoke · 08/10/2019 12:24

Well, I don’t like nuggets but at 60p more hell yes. If I didn’t eat them I’d give them to someone else or eat late r

Gottobefree · 08/10/2019 12:24

Easilyyyyyy ! Do it and treat yourself x

Seeline · 08/10/2019 12:24

I'd get a portion of fries too and be done with it

Ooops - I just automatically assumed there would be fries too... Blush

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 08/10/2019 12:24

I could give it a good go but only if they were fresh. There’s nowt worse than a cold nugget.

YoureMyWifeNowDave · 08/10/2019 12:25

Easily!

TerribleCustomerCervix · 08/10/2019 12:25

No- I love chicken nuggets, but something about the McDonald’s ones make them delicious to start with, but after 10 or so they get really sickening.

notso · 08/10/2019 12:26

I couldn't eat one. They're rank.
But knock yourself out!

Jinglejanglefish · 08/10/2019 12:26

I could. I would have to be very hungover, but I could easily do it. Nuggets aren't my favourite though, I could eat thousands of fries.

MooFeatures · 08/10/2019 12:32

Can and have.

northbacchus · 08/10/2019 12:32

I'm Vegetarian and so is DP but he could easily eat 20 Quorn nuggets with room for dessert.

The only reason I wouldn't is because protein fills me up really quickly!

MummytoCSJH · 08/10/2019 12:33

I can eat 20 with a large fries easily Grin

MysweetAudrina · 08/10/2019 12:36

My ds10 demolished a box of 20. I gave him a few quid to get a snack in McDonalds not thinking he would go and buy 20 chicken nuggets. He also had the good sense to eat them before he got back to me as I would have given out to him.

Bourbonbiccy · 08/10/2019 12:40

Ooohhhh yes, easily. I want nuggets now lol.

I would get them definitely and I'm sorry, but the dog wouldn't get a look in BlushBlushBlush

ScreamingValenta · 08/10/2019 12:42

I don't eat from MacDonalds on principle. But I'm fairly sure I could eat 20 chicken nuggets in one sitting if I was hungry. If you think about the amount of chicken, it's not much different from eating 1/4 of a roast chicken.
