About McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets
McDonald’s added Chicken McNuggets to its menu in the early 1980s, first in the United States and then in the rest of the world by 1983. The original nugget meal came with just four pieces, fries, and a drink; a six-piece option came along later.
Nugget boxes now come in several sizes: 4, 6, 10, 20, and 40 pieces. The 4, 6, and 10-piece boxes are sold almost everywhere, but the 20-piece box is only offered in the US and Canada, and the 40-piece box is even harder to find. McNuggets are served with a choice of dipping sauces, including barbecue, honey mustard, and sweet and sour.

Outside the DFW area (Plano location owned by O’reilly family) was $7.39 last week for 20pc nuggets. However, today it was $10.99!! 50% increase!!! Really!?! Thieves!! Maybe Chuck can take that money and finally fix the ice cream machine after being broken for years. Even your workers say you use bandaids instead of fixing it properly. The majority of the summer it was down. Smh.
