How did the sock-shaped McNugget come to exist?

Asked by andrew (16562points) February 1st, 2008 from iPhone

Why a sock shape? Is there something about it that’s good for dipping?

great question.

My only guess is that they take them off of the McChickens’ feet with their sold still on.

As a former McDonalds worker in the early 90’s I can tell you that there is alot more to worry about the chicken nugget than it’s shape…

“Chicken McNuggets come in three shapes. The first resembles a boot – a rectangular shape with a stub jutting out of one of the corners. The second is a circle/ diamond. The third is roughly rectangular, but without the stub. Though the exact origin of these shapes is unclear, some[attribution needed] believe the shapes resulted from a need to maximize yield from the meat mixture, coupled with a need for shapes that appear like random chunks, and not homogeneously mass produced.”
