Someone Paid Close To $100k For This Chicken Nugget Shaped Like A Character From An Online Game
Draper, Utah. Some people choose to spend money on some surprising things, like one user on eBay who paid close to $100,000 for a chicken nugget.
If you’re wondering what’s so special about a chicken nugget, first allow me to explain that it came from a 10-piece McDonald’s BTS Meal.
The limited-edition McDonald’s BTS Meal is inspired by BTS, the wildly popular seven-person boy band from South Korea.
The guys in the band picked out the sauces that come with the BTS Meal themselves, which are Cajun Sauce and Chili Sauce.
But wait, the fact that this nugget came from the limited-edition BTS Meal is not what makes it special…
…It’s special because apparently it is shaped like a character from an online game called Among Us.
Among Us is a multiplayer game that first came out on June 15, 2018. The game is set in outer space and features 2 legged creatures called crewmates.
Well, someone in Draper, Utah, ordered a McDonald’s BTS Meal and discovered an Among Us crewmate-shaped nugget inside their order.

That person then took to eBay to try to sell the interestingly shaped nugget.
The seller of the chicken nugget appropriately titled the listing “McDonald’s Among Us shaped Nugget from BTS Meal.”
“This food product has an average expiration of about 14 days and will be delivered prior to expiration,” they explained in the description box.
The nugget was neatly packaged inside of a plastic zip-top bag, and the seller pointed out that it was going to be frozen prior to shipping it via USPS First Class.
Obviously, this listing went viral, and a comment was made that the nugget should come with a side of Szechuan Sauce (which McDonald’s discontinued back in 2018).
The seller then included a photo of Szechuan Sauce and said that they would be happy to include some if the buyer wanted.
In the end, after 184 bids, the iconic nugget sold for $99,997.00. Oh, wait, plus shipping.
