Today I was pretty hungry while out teaching music to the world so I stopped at McDonalds. I was not in the mood for a burger or fries which limited my choices significantly. When I pulled up to the drive-thru menu, however, my eyes fell upon an advertisement for a delicious looking treat called McBites. Perhaps I live under a rock like those guys in the Geico commercial, but I had never heard of this new-fangled, chicken nugget-like sensation. I immediately decided to give them a try and got ready to place my order. When the girl asked for my order I replied, "I'd like a regular McBites." I realized then how stupid of a name McBites really is. It doesn't give any indication of what the "bites" actually contain and feels just plain ridiculous to say.
I must admit, however, they weren't all that bad. You know how yummy fried chicken is...and how the bits made only of the breaded part and no chicken are so delicious? Well, the McBites are so small that I honestly believe half of them didn't have enough room for even a little chicken. And you know what? I don't care. They were yummy and came with a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce that fit into a cleverly constructed slot in my McBite box (see picture below). This made them the perfect snack to consume as I attempted to drive and eat on my way to the next school. I see now, though, why they can't call them chicken nuggets or chicken bites or chicken nibbles. With half the batch containing no chicken, they couldn't allow themselves to be accused of major false advertising.

Those look good! Thanks for sharing!
