Fast food restaurants are always trying
to come up with something new to grab a consumer’s attention. You’ve got the
cheeseburger that has onion rings on it. There are chicken sandwich with stacks
and stacks of bacon. There’s the chicken sandwich without the bun, just bacon,
cheese and sauce in between two breaded and fried slabs of poultry. Now Rally’s has reshaped their chicken nuggets in hopes of drawing in new business. Chicken
Dippers, because not everyone can dunk (as in basketball), but everyone can
dip. They’re scooped shaped chicken pieces that are crafted to be plunged into
a special dipping sauce.
I have not tried this newest fast
food creation and I won’t. The chicken looks like someone took a mallet to the
restaurant’s already unappetizing looking chicken nuggets and just started
hammering away. I have nothing against Rally’s nuggets in general. I have a
grudge against most chicken nuggets because they are made with trimmings and
leftovers. Who really knows what is in their chicken nugget? Many restaurants
say they only use all white meat, and I guess we’ll just have to take their
word for it. The flat shape also means there is less meat inside, so Rally’s is
basically increasing the fried breaded portion and decreasing the actual meat. In
addition to the savorless form of the dippers, I have trouble with the
preparation. I am not a fast food fan. I’ll eat a French fry or two every so
often and I’ll chow down on Taco Bell if you’re offering, but I’m opposed to
the high salt, fried foods. The reason fast foods taste so good is there’s a
high percentage of sodium and fats in them. The combination has been shown to
be medically addicting, not just in the way that I say I am addicted to Taco
Bell Thursdays (I can give up at any time!). The restaurants load up on what
makes the foods so appetizing and they install a revolving door because once
they have you hooked you’ll be a customer for life. I’ll have my salad now.
Waiter!
