A British woman has broken the record for…………. Eating the most chicken McNuggets eaten in one minute. Leah Shutkever videotaped herself downing 19 nuggets in one minute. It wasn’t the number of nuggets that counted though. It’s the weight. She ate 352 grams worth beating the previous record of 315.

Side note, according to a 2013 study in the American Journal of Medicine, McNuggets are 50 percent meat, and the rest is a mix of “ground up bone, blood vessels, nerve, and connective tissue”. McDonald’s stands by their statement of them being 100% white chicken meat.

Either way, Leah also holds the record for most McNuggets eaten in three minutes and 26 other records for eating things.

One other McNugget fun fact. One sold on E-bay for $8,100 in 2012. People bid on it because it kind of looks like George Washington on a quarter. The nugget was already 3 years old when it sold. Click HERE to see it.
