The chicken nugget empire has spoken

Nov 291 min read

Our kids have rejected literally every chicken nugget brand we've bought EXCEPT Tyson Air Fried from Costco. Not even joking, we've tried Perdue, store brand, the fancy organic ones from the fancy grocery store. Nope. Only Tyson. Do I feel silly that I'm now the guy who has strong opinions about chicken nuggets? Yes. Do I care? No, because peace at the dinner table is worth it. Anyone else have a brand their kids are weirdly specific about?

Okay but you SHOULD feel silly because you just spent money on organic chicken nuggets when the Costco Tyson ones are 1/3 the price and clearly superior in your kids' minds. That's just funny.

We have the same situation with fruit snacks. Only Kirkland brand from Costco. Every other brand goes in the donation pile untouched.

This is the content I come here for honestly. The chicken nugget empire has spoken and it is Tyson Air Fried from Costco.

This is objectively funny but also... kids KNOW when something tastes good. Trust their palates. You could be saving money on the cheap stuff they'd waste anyway.

I respect this energy. My kid rejected every cereal except one brand and now that's just the cereal we buy. Sometimes you just accept your kids' preferences and move on.

The Tyson air-fried ones ARE legitimately better though? Like less greasy than traditional fried ones. Your kids might actually have a point beyond just being picky.

This is actually hilarious because you've just discovered your kids have extremely specific taste, which is better than them being willing to eat literally anything. At least you know exactly what to buy now.

Your kids have taste tbh. Tyson Air Fried are legitimately better than most brands. You should feel no shame.

The specificity is what kills me. Not just "Tyson" but "Tyson Air Fried from Costco" 💀

😂 This is peak parenting - strong opinions about chicken nuggets. At least Tyson is decent quality.
