Innovation sometimes permits us to solve problems that we didn’t even know existed. For example, did it ever occur to you that chicken nuggets are not, by themselves, efficient vehicles for ingesting high-fat sauces? I certainly didn’t think of it until I saw this picture of a new nugget designed by the food engineers of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. It’s shaped like a scoop so that you can ladle sauce into your mouth, and then eat the ladle.
Sharing your chicken nuggets during school lunchtime? I’ve got two words for you: LAW BREAKER!
Adam was accused of stealing chicken nuggets from a $2.60 meal. Those are the nuggets his friend, Gakaree Garner, gave to him. Garner says, "Although that month I was fasting so I couldn’t eat meat, and we had chicken nuggets that day."
Garner gave the nuggets to Adam, who got in the lunch line to get some sauce for them. According to Garner and the police report the cafeteria cashier told the Assistant Principal Adam stole the chicken nuggets. The Assistant Principal then told the police officer in the school, who called a squad car. Garner says, "They actually put him in handcuffs, and actually tried to force him into the car."
Ava Hernandez says, "They were like, ‘Well do you know that friend receives federally free lunch?’, and I said, ‘I do now.’, and they said, ‘Well, it’s illegal to share a free lunch so either way Adam was breaking the law’."
Here’s a tribute song titled Nugget Man by Paul Sabourin and Greg "Storm" DiCostanzo of the musical duo Paul and Storm, memorializing Robert C. Baker.
Robert who? You may not know the man, but you surely know of his invention: Robert C. Baker invented the chicken nugget (nicknamed the "Thomas Edison of poultry," he’s also a member of the American Poultry Hall of Fame. Sort of like the Baseball Hall of Fame, but for chicken).
From the song:
Robert C. Baker died on a Monday
We all know his work, although few knew his name
A Cornell professor who taught poultry science
Forever enshrined in the poultry Hall of Fame
84 years worth of food innovations:
Chicken dogs, turkey dogs and turkey ham
Beyond them all stands Baker’s greatest creation
For Baker begat chicken nuggets for manO, Nugget Man
O, Nugget Man
Headin’ on down to that old Promised Land
Happy the meals all have been since the day
That the Nugget Man came our way
