Why did it cost so much?
So the chicken nugget resembles an Among Us video game character. But, as The Verge reported, the nugget allegedly came from the BTS meal at McDonald’s, which may have also increased its value.
McDonald’s added a new BTS celebrity meal on May 27, as I wrote for the Deseret News. the meal comes with a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, a medium fry, a medium Coke and sweet chili and Cajun sauce (two flavors that were previously released in McDonald’s in South Korea).
