Now this is just plain gross.  What the heck?  They shove a bone in a chicken McNugget.  Um, yuck!

You go to mcdonalds and think your are going to get real wings?  Heres a hint, the Mcrib  isn't a real rib sandwich.

Oh my Gawd, oh my gawd.  That is sickening.  No wonder our kids who grow up on fast food are often overweight with health problems, not to mention the impact on adults.

QuoteWhat's the meat made of?
Pig innards and plenty of salt. Typically, "restructured meat product" includes pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, says Whet Moser at Chicago Magazine, citing a 1995 article by Robert Mandigo, a professor at the University of Nebraska. These parts are cooked and blended with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins, which act as a "glue"

I had to look up the burgers after finding all of this out.  The burger itself it turns out is 100% beef and no fillers.  The bun is what will kill you.  lol

I've tried them, twice. They were horrible both times. I thought the oil was bad the first time, nope, consistently bad from two different stores. They're the worst wings I've ever had in my life, and I've had papa johns wings. Stick with a real wing place, or at the very least, Publix.

Don't lump Publix in here.  The hot and spicy breaded wings are a game day necessity!

+100

I tried them once, and that was enough. IMO wings from Checkers and Krystal's are better.

Oh no. I never will intentionally. Publix naked wings are a sight unbeholden to mere mortals. All of the flavor and none of the messy sauce. And the amount you get for the money you pay is worth it in spades. They're a staple of any party I throw.

Also, dang guys, up on my nuts on twitter. :)
