Sometimes it pays to play with your food! Last spring, a bidder on the online auction site eBay bought a McDonald’s Chicken McNugget for nearly $100,000! Why? The unique nugget is shaped a lot like a crewmate from Among Us. Adding to the bidding frenzy, the nugget was part of a special BTS meal named for the K-pop group. Dozens of copycat nuggets have shown up on eBay. But none have sold for as much money. It’s probably because they’re impostors!
