Another State Chicken Nugget Submittal

By Len Penzo

Back in February I found a Chicken McNugget that was the spitting image of Connecticut. � At the time I asked my dear readers to be on the look out for other chicken nuggets that resembled US states, Puerto Rico, Guam and/or the Canadian provinces.

To be honest, I was beginning to lose hope that I’d ever see another state chicken nugget. � Can anybody really blame me? � After all, it had been close to two months since my request first went out.

Then, lo and behold, I got a surprise in my mail bag the other day from an actual reader who was kind enough to send in this picture of a chicken nugget that is a fairly decent facsimile of Michigan’s lower peninsula. � I’ll let the nice lady who took the time to get this picture tell the rest of the story.

Fellow chicken nugget connoisseur, Jill, writes:

The other day my family and I came across this chicken nugget. � My son had them all spread out on the table in order from biggest to smallest. � I couldn’t help but notice one in particular that looked kind of special. � As soon as I saw it I told him he had to wait to eat this one until after mommy took a picture of it! � Doesn’t it look a lot like lower Michigan? � There was no sign of the (upper peninsula).

Good catch, Jill! � I figured that the next state to be submitted was going to be an easy one like, Wyoming or Colorado. � � But to find a very complex chicken nugget like Michigan’s LP is quite a treat! � 🙂

Oh, sure. � There are naysayers and skeptics out there who will vehemently question this photo’s authenticity. � Yes, it is a bit blurry, but I believe the image has not been tampered with and is the genuine article.

Thanks for the photo, Jill!

Readers: � Please stay on the lookout for additional chicken nuggets masquerading as a state or Canadian province, and send in your photographic evidence. � I’ll post them as I get them. � I won’t rest until we collect photos of nuggets representing all 50 states, and the 10 Canadian provinces. � � Hey, at this rate we’ll have the whole collection in about 30 years!

And remember, nuggets that show signs of tampering will be disqualified. � 🙂
