Why does mcdonalds charge so much for nuggets when you can go to wendys and get dollar nuggets?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

because the quality of the nuggets is better at mc donalds and remember you get what you paid for.

Chicken nuggets are often made using a high proportion of chicken skin. This is because without the skin the consistency would not be sticky enough for the nuggets to hold together. Food labelling law dictates that skin used to make the nugget need not be distinguished from the muscle consumers normally think of when they hear the word "meat".[citation needed] The remainder of the nugget is most likely[original research?] to be made up of mechanically separated meat, with some processing additives such as anti-foaming agents (usually polydimethylsiloxane). The meat of the nugget may also be composed of reconstituted meat slurry.

Answer 2

But do they taste the same??

Basically, because they can. If you buy it, they won't lower the price. Simple economics.

Answer 3

McDonalds is a ripoff!!
Have you noticed that MOST if not ALL of the burgers have "mysteriously" become much smaller?? Someone told me a long time ago that they put worm parts in the "meat" as fillers. Have you watched Super-Size Me??, It shows what the "chicken" nuggets really are!!

Answer 5

McDonald's chicken nuggets have a unique flavor and seem
to be more popular with children.
Also, McDonald's does not use worm parts in their beef, as
it's a proven fact that worms are more expensive by the
pound than beef. They may use some type of filler, but
whatever they use, it's not worms. A company as big
as McDonald's simply would not risk losing billions upon
billions of dollars by filling their beef with something
as disgusting as worms, especially if it's cheaper to use
100 percent beef than to use beef and worms together.

Answer 6

i think mcdonald's nuggets are much better tasting.
there combo comes with more fries, than wendys.
idk, mcdonalds prob. gets more service and wendys needs more money

Answer 7

McDonald's most likely is relying on their larger customer base and has enough sales that they do not have to lower the cost. They rely on branding--their nuggets are better known than Wendy's and the packaging is also different. Wendy's has just 5 nuggets in their serving, McDonald's is 6, 9, and 20, I believe.
