McWashington: Nebraskan nets $8,100 for George Washington-shaped chicken nugget

While presidential poultry isn’t my usual blog beat, I thought a bite-size George Washington was worth a post:

McWashington: Nebraskan nets $8,100 for George Washington shaped chicken nuggetThe AP reports:

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.

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.

    I’ll bet the McDonald’s cook is crying fowl that he let that one go out the door. $8100 is no chicken feed!
