You can get 4 McNuggets for $1.00 (or 16 for $4.00) or 10 for $4.19. Why would anyone ever buy a 10-pack? This is not a trick question - just ate 3 x 4 packs today for lunch and noticed the difference in price.

I believe it is different chicken-like meat in each type of nugget.Originally posted by RU848789:

Seems wasteful. Further, anyone who is eating 14 McNuggest is surely going to eat the other two anyway.Originally posted by RU205:
Cali- why not buy the 16 nugget for less and throw out what you don't eat?
You only ate 16 nuggets?Originally posted by RU848789:

Well if you dont want to get fat, then you buy 4 or 8. But he's right - if you want 10, then you cant save $1.20 (plus tax) and get 2 more (even if you dont want them, give them to the birds/homeless).Originally posted by Caliknight:
Maybe some people don't want to get fat. Of course, eating McNuggets probably goes against that thought, but the object isn't to get as much food as possible for the least amount. At least not for some people.
For the same reason you eat fatcats.Originally posted by scottydont:

And that's why they need to increase the minimum wage.Originally posted by RUJohnny99:
You can buy 10 4 packs, get back in line, return 4 10 packs, and pocket the 72 cents arbitrage. Do that 10 times an hour & you've made the same as the kid who rings you up.
24 hours? Pfft. Could do that in 12, no problem.Originally posted by NoLondonBroil:
That reminds me of another fun college food challenge - the 30/30.
You have 24 hours to consume a 30 pack of beers of your choice and 30 White Castle cheeseburgers.
What your bowels decide to do to you afterwards is not the point. Completing the 30/30 is a rite of passage.
Great idea, but you might want to check your math - your profit would be $6.76 per 40 McNuggets - 10 times an hour would result in $67.60 an hour, a pretty decent wage, lol.Originally posted by RUJohnny99:

I have never heard this, and it sounds like an AWESOMELY terrible idea.Originally posted by 63valiant:
How about the $20.00 taco bell challenge? You have to spend at least 20 bucks and eat it in 1- 20 minute setting. Its really not that easy.
But that's not the same at all. When you buy a 16 oz bottle of Coke, you are paying for the convenience of portability. Also the 16 oz bottles sold individually are usually cold, while the 2 liter bottles are usually warm.Originally posted by Roy_Faulker:
Same reason a 16oz coke costs 1.89 and a 2 liter costs $1.25...
Roy obviously didn't read the thread. The Coke example is like many examples where buying larger amounts of a product can be done for a cheaper, per unit (weight, volume, number, whatever) price, which makes sense, since the product is often cheap and the packaging is where the cost is. However, in the McNuggets example, it's the smaller size version which is far cheaper per unit cost than the larger size - that's very unusual, at least per my observations over the years.Originally posted by Upstream:

Sure - but in that case there is at least a tricky imperial to metric conversion. In this case its just simple nuggets to nuggets math.Originally posted by Roy_Faulker:

I tried this many years ago. It's not the consuming that gets you, it's that you get tired and decide not to finish.Originally posted by Ole Cabbagehead:

Why not get the 50-piece for $10 and save what you don't eat for later?
Nope. It's made of:Originally posted by Steveriknight:
Aren't McNuggets made with chicken hearts and other nasty chicken stuff? Pretty sure I read that somewhere at some point.
