4th McDonald Nugget dip?
Ali Lemer
Ok, folks. This may strike some as odd, but then again, so do I.
I was in McDonald's today, ordering a 9-piece Chicken McNuggets, when the
counterperson asked me what flavour of dip I'd like.
I asked her what they had, and she replied, "Hot Mustard, Sweet 'n'
Sour, and Barbecue."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the McNuggets first came out in the
80s, weren't there FOUR flavours you could choose from?
I can't for the life of me remember what it was, if this is true. Can
anyone out there help me? (Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe jokes can be
laid to rest right now.)

Wasn't it just plain honey in those miserably small and narrow little
plastic dip containers?

I think the fourth one was Honey. No wonder it's not around anymore, eh? But
you know, you could've asked the counter person...

Yeah, like they'd know. What's the probability of getting
served at McDonalds by someone who was even a teenager
in the 80's?

Yep. Honey. That's the one I always picked, so I ought to know...

honey, although it was never packaged in the same way as BBQ, S&S and HM.
I think it's because the same honey sauce is used at breakfast and
McDonald's didn't want to put a label such as McNugget sauce on the same
sauce they use for breakfast.

a) this woman did not seem to be a PhD candidate at her local place of
higher learning, and
b) from the looks of her, she was still in diapers when the McNuggets
actually came out.
So, I had to ask my fellow netters.

Honey. Still available.

As others have answered already, of course it was honey. Also, a few
years ago, they were product testing some new types of sauce, one of
which was Jalapeno flavor (not bad actually). It was only for a limited
time, however.
There were a couple of other flavors too, it seems like they were tex-mex
type flavors. Anyone recall this?

Shoot me down in flames but I don't think Hot mustard was one of the
"Origanal" flavors. BBQ, Sweet&Sour, Honey. for a total of three.

McNuggets. The chicken was the exact same. It just came packaged in an
Oriental decorated box and there were three "Asian" sauces. I can only
remember one, though: teriyaki. I think they served Shanghai McNuggets
with chopsticks and fortune cookies, but I'm not totally sure about that.
Anyone else remember?

Yes, I do, actually. I think I had them once but didn't think much of the
sauces. (I'd rather go to a Japanese restaurant...YUM!)

Yeah, I remember that...not sure what the other sauces were, but I think one
might have been another version of sweet and sour. I think I liked Saturday
Night Live's product idea better:
McSooshi--America's Eatin' It Raw! :)

Ah, those balmy shangahi days - countertrons in plastic coolie hats,
teriyaki sauce, and - I remember this distinctly - learing to use
chopsticks finally because McD had printed instructions on the packet.

No one would eat there if they didn't.
