Asian Jealousy Inspired

Sometime last year I was at a party where I met Yuki. Yuki is 5ft nothing, probably weighs 100 pounds soaking wet and REGULARLY eats 20 McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets in a sitting.

I’ll give you a minute for that to sink in.

20. Chicken. McNuggets.

I'm pretty competitive. I also have the appetite of lumber jack. So when I heard that that sweet little girl chows down on 20 chicken McNuggets on the regular, an idea popped into my head. I decided I would eat 30. There was absolutely no reason to do it other than to top teeny tiny, itty bitty Yuki. I intended to eat 30 McNuggets just to be able to say that I could. Of course, there were doubters. Several people didn’t believe I could eat that many McNuggets. I tell you with assurance that their disbelief only motivated me more.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful.

When I got to 21 (plus fries & a drink) I had to stop. I had hit the wall. To say it was tragic would be an understatement. I couldn’t ingest 30 McNuggets. My only consolation was that at least I ate more than sweet little Yuki. It’s a sickness.

So, recently I received this text message:


I mean she was basically daring me to eat 50 chicken McNuggets, right?



When I mentioned the challenge to the hubby, he fully doubted me. OUT LOUD. This disparaging treatment couldn’t stand.  It sealed it.  I WOULD EAT 50 McDONALDS CHICKEN MCNUGGETS.

Here’s how it all unfolded…


I'm definitely counting this as one of the 25 foods that might make others gag. Don’t know what I'm talking about? Check my Ultimate To DO list for more info.
