Nuggets of Advice
Every year McDonald’s offers a 50 McNugget bucket (or tote) at a very attractive price point. It is always in conjunction with the Super Bowl and probably meant to be enjoyed as a finger food at viewing parties. But, if you are irresponsible like me, it’s more of a personal challenge. Every year I look forward to the Super Bowl. And every year I spoil my mood by attempting to eat 50 McNuggets.
There is no doubt that my ritual is 
unhealthy. But it is my choice. McDonald’s is not responsible for serving me so much for such a small price. No, I was the one that abused this right. Not that I’ve suffered any real repercussions, save for general disgust.
To my enjoyment, I read Chuck Klosterman’s own personal Nugget challenge. For one week, he ate nothing but McNuggets. He felt lethargic and disgusting. Yet, medically it caused him to gain only 1 pound and his blood pressure and cholesterol declined. It all lead him to call bullshit on Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me” about a decade later when he interviewed him.
So if I suddenly get sick from my gorging, it is my fault and my fault only. Please donate my body to science.
