George Washington Chicken Nugget: Bite-Size Shaped Like First President Sells For $8,100 (POLL)

DAKOTA CITY, Neb. — Call it McWashington.

A Nebraska woman has sold a three-year-old McDonald's Chicken McNugget that resembles President George Washington for $8,100 on eBay.

The Sioux City Journal ( ) in Iowa says bidding ended just after 11:30 a.m. Monday. http://bit.ly/z2wK9S

Rebekah Speight of Dakota City sold the McNugget to raise money for a drive to raise $15,000 and send 50 children to summer church camp in Sioux City.

Speight says her children didn't eat the chicken during a McDonald's visit three years ago. She was about to toss it, then spotted Washington's resemblance. Speight stashed the McNugget in her freezer.

eBay had temporarily taken down the auction last month because it violated rules regulating expired food.

She later received an email saying the site was "willing to make exceptions to help your cause."

I hope that for $8,100 you get at least two flavors of dipping sauce.

We have time to worrie about why a chicken nugget looks like George Washington but we don't have enough time to do important things in life? I don't even see the resembalance. It's a nugget for crying out loud! And it sold for $8,100! Whoever found it and thought it looked like George Washington has a little too much time on their hands.

You know what I see? Besides a McNugget? That character from the movie the Goonies... the one who likes to eat the candy bars? I can't remember his name... but I see him in the McNugget.

I couldn't answer the poll either way, because I don't think it looks like George Washington, and there's there's no way I'd eat it.

Good heavens! And I thought it looked like a dwarf (chin is nose and shirt is beard). I am going to have to start closely examining all food now before eating.

Not that McNuggets fit in the category of "food".

I see it, but only because it was pointed out. Probably wouldn't have made the connection myself.

At first glance, I thought that all of the parts labelled in the picture were what's in a mcnugget, not what it looked like. And I still wasn't surprised.

I don't think the buyer cared about the nugget at all. This was really a tax deductible donation to send some kids to camp.
