Alan and I just saw a commercial for Chick-Fil-A's Million Nugget Giveaway and just had quite a good laugh discussing the sheer magnitude of a million chicken nuggets. Consider:
- There are about 12 nuggets in a pack of chicken nuggets. We used the number 10.
- One million nuggets divided into 10 per pack equals 100,000 packs of chicken nuggets.
- That's 100,000 lunches.
- There are about 1000 days in 3 years.
- Thus, 100,000 lunches would take 300 years to eat.
300 years. Or, let's say you ate chicken nuggets for every meal of the day. It would still take 100 years to eat them all. Now, a person who eats chicken nuggets constantly couldn't live past the age of 60. Nor would they have started eating until they were at least 18 (the age of winning the contest). So, 20 years. That's five lifetimes.
Five lifetimes of chicken nuggets.
Okay, so Chick-Fil-A isn't actually giving away one million nuggets to one person. They're giving away 15,000 nugget trays. But it's still absolutely hilarious to think about the sheer magnitude of one million nuggets.
Oh, America. You and your gluttony.
Peace,
Sam
P.S. I promise I'll write about serious, profound issues regarding religion, America, and social work soon. Maybe.
