Think I'll just stick to egg on toast at home personally.
Probably more meat than normal then.
I'm impressed they are enforcing mask rules in the mcnugget factory
See... I was expecting this to be about chicken nuggets being found inside free face masks, that a MaccyD branch handed out.
[ it's not just pedantry, how you use apostrophes in a sentence can change its meaning ]
I have to say the happy meal toys are getting more topical, last week it was a miniature playset with replica of Dominic Cummings' Discovery and Barnard castle. It was great to watch all the kiddies trundle their little 4x4 across the table, do a lap round the castle and then back towards their fruit shoots saying "Looks like we're good for London tomorrow then"...
Ms Arber said she and her daughter have been put off McDonald's "for life".
So a positive health outcome for them both then 😀 Perhaps that's the way Dom the Disruptor is planning to tackle the obesity crisis.
kelvin +1.
Seems odd that there was "something blue sticking out of another one" bearing in mind these are made by the million - unless the batch is riddled with masks, the chances of having two apparently contaminated nuggets in the same box seems amazing to me.
This news could irreparably damage McDonalds reputation! They’ll be out of business before we know it. Mark My Words.
How come her daughter was able to chew a mask?
Eating with your eyes closed is wise at some establishments.
Edit: oh, a takeaway… my joke is a failure. And having now watched the video… at home… self shot… it does seem suspicious.

....damage MacDonalds reputation!
Guess thats a relief for McDonalds 🙂

I’m impressed that that was all you had to say on the issue. Really, I am.
Given where the link goes I'm not following it but this same story popped up on my chrome recommended feed.
A box of 20 nuggets for a 6 year old and she's worried about the health implications of a mask (which looks remarkably intact given the state of the chicken)

Thanks 🙂
I'm impressed that many, many links to MacDonalds are redirected correctly, including articles in online broadsheets such as the guardian. They must have a very active digital team 🙂

Good spot.
Beggars belief. The mask did her a favour.
Happy Meals (aimed at 6 year olds) contain four such nuggets.
I always fine the snobbery around McDonald's a bir precious.
They sell cheap food to the masses and don't pretend to do anything otherwise. Their's food is actually of a higher standard than many places, especially for the money. Real eggs for breakfast, chicken breast in nuggets, etc. I'd trust them more than the sausages at my local greasy spoon. Haute Cuisine it is not but I can walk in, hand over £1.49 and have the heft of a double cheeseburger in my hand instantly. Not everyone has the time otherwise money for alternatives.
Being superior about Maccies smacks of middle class insecurity to me
Yes, this is rank. However, they sell literally billions of products monthly and were let down by a supplier. I got a bit of billo pad in my Wagas the other week but that's not either coronavirus topical or mcdonald's so not news.

I’d also guess it’s not news as you didn’t post it on social media or report it to the papers. It’s safe to say no knew until you mentioned it rather than because it’s not McD’s.
Let's see how this pans out. Having worked in the food ingredients industry - and alongside McDs for several years, it is safe to say that that mask would not survive the chicken nugget process. It would not get through the nugget process, and would be picked up by numerous QC checks. I doubt they are wearing masks in factories (though they will have gloves, hairnets and bear snoods on (if needed). if they are, they will have some sort of metal detection ) - as everything in heat processed and flash frozen.
Nuggets are actually formed in moulds - so for that to get in, and be coated etc would be a miracle.
So sabotage could be the only route - but very, very unlikely.
On the other hand , if the lady is trying to get money out of McDs, which is probably the case . - they do take this stuff very seriously ...
I have people try everything - even putting domestic glass into products. God bless the public ..
Being superior about Maccies smacks of middle class insecurity to me
The only thing that makes me feel superior is when I see the wrappers and bags lobbed in the street. And I don't even know what a middle class insecurity is.
Haute Cuisine it is not but I can walk in, hand over £1.49 and have the heft of a double cheeseburger in my hand instantly.
This made me laugh... was it supposed to? McDs isn't cheap, and to call a McDs double cheeseburger "hefty" is ridiculous... they are flat and light, and barely a snack.
Maybe they were sharing them.
The BBC article suggests the girl was in another room so my middle class insecurity makes me doubtful. That aside if they were being shared, that just makes the story seem all the more ridiculous.
The chances of a mask ending up in a nugget are vanishingly small.
2 masks in two nuggets...
Those then managing to make it through the whole system of production packing portioning cooking serving then sharing and still ending up on the same girls plate*?
Even if you deliberately put 2 nuggets in a single box of 20 at the time of serving, subsequently ending up with both nuggets inside a randomly selected sample of 4** isn't particularly high.
*plate isn't likely, no one eats McDonalds from a plate do they? (obviously a 6 year old may have a favourite plate which everything from apples to milk has to be eaten from.)
**based on a happy meal being 4

Perhaps he has tiny hands. We should not be judging people.
I love... the milkshakes, the pancakes... and plenty of other McDs things... I'm not judging... but their saver burgers are a rip off... tiny and not cheap... hit an indy and get a sausage sandwich/barm/bap/teacake/whatever.

Especially not McDonald’s employees.

And then, boom. Potentially the most STW thing ever. Well done.
You can't beat a sausage barm for value. Or "heft".

Left the room to get a drink, ketchup or tell the others their tea was here.
