The Chicken McNugget pictured below resembles President George Washington and it was recently sold for $8,100 on eBay, even though it is three years old.
Rebekah Speight said her children did not eat the chicken during a McDonald's visit three years ago. But when she was about to toss it, she spotted its resemblance to George Washington. She stored the McNugget in her freezer and, three years later, decided to auction it on eBay. eBay temporarily took down the auction last month because it violated rules regulating expired food. Luckily Speight later received an email saying the site was 'willing to make exceptions to help your cause'.
I guess there are a few lessons to be learnt. McDonalds can benefit you in ways that you never expect. Don’t throw away food blindly. And check the bins for leftovers thrown away by other customers. You never know what you will find.
I don't think there is such a thing as expired food from McDonald's. I think most McDonald's fare would outlast a nuclear war.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, probably true. So that nugget was probably still edible, though too expensive to eat
DeleteHehe ... Angela said it right! Now I will start staring at each piece of nugget before I eat it ... not that I ever order or eat any ... guess I won't get rich that way.
ReplyDeleteThat braised pork looks yummy! Think will make that for dinner tonight. Thanks for the inspiration. (I always have a problem, (everyday) wondering what to cook for dinner.)
This is an incentive to start eating nuggets and other fast food:) Actually not eat but buy and look at it first but not for too long as it may turn cold
DeleteLOL I had to do a double take at the nugget but it does kind of look like George Washington! :P
ReplyDeleteIt does, if only George Washington was around, he'd have a good laugh
DeleteWhat delicious looking braised pork. McDonalds should be more careful with the way they shape their nuggets!
ReplyDeleteOr less careful, and end up creating wealth for its customers
DeleteA 3-year-old nugget costs $8,100...well...it does look very much like GW though..
ReplyDeleteIt really does
DeleteThe braised pork looks luscious! I bet it's pork belly or spare ribs... The fatty parts I adore.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most incredible insane buy I have ever heard about.
Neither, sorry, it was leg/hock
DeleteMaybe (s)he will end up selling for more, maybe?
HAHAHAH! That nugget is hilarious. What kind of idiot would pay $8100 for that!? Depression, my butt. Clearly there's still LOTS of money left to go around...sheesh :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe an investor, with a hope of onselling (maybe back to McDonalds):)
Deleteabout that suckling pig - I don't get why people like it so much. to me, it's just some overly fatty pieces of meat. but i guess everybody's different....
ReplyDeleteDon't you like the red eyes and glistening skin:) Its the crispy skin and tender meat, and flavour/fat in between:)
DeleteEw, gross. Unreal what people will buy these days.
ReplyDeleteOr unreal what people invest in:)
