Let’s be honest–if you’re ordering Wendy’s chicken nuggets, you might NOT be in your most optimal culinary state of mind. Whether you’ve been over-served at the bar or are six-years-old or simply a resident of Colorado enjoying the state’s liberal weed laws, we don’t know. But for whatever reason, you’ve chosen to patron the fast food establishment and decided to order one of the chain’s simplest yet most-hyped menu orders.
Unfortunately, that might be one of the menu’s worst. Or, at least, according to Reddit.
Mashed just reported on several Reddit threads that can offer up a few unhealthy and downright gross reasons for skipping the nuggets next time you’re at the drive-thru. Without further ado:
Lazy Employees Might Be Introducing Plastic To Your Order…
Huh? Well, according to one Reddit user who claims that his wife was an employee of the restaurant, workers would just “dip the bottom of the plastic bag into the fryer so that it would melt and the nuggets would fall out. They were too f***ing lazy to open the bag properly.” Yikes!
This has got to be one of the more bizarre behaviors we’ve ever learned of fast food workers. It feels like common knowledge that you shouldn’t put plastic in your microwave–let alone 375 degree fryers. It defies logic that they would think this is okay.

The Quality Has Changed
There’s also a question of whether the nuggets are still as good as they used to be. Wendy’s customers have taken to Reddit to complain that the nuggets have gone down hill. One user wrote, “Now even fresh they taste odd, texture isn’t there either.”
A user who says they’re an ex-Wendy’s employee bemused, “Those chicken nuggets are usually old as hell… and the warmup for new orders is to throw them in the fryer for a sec so they look fresh.” Oh, brother!
