I knew it!  I knew it!<\/p>\n<p>The voices in my head were telling me I should go for the tangy low-fat honey mustard or the creamy ranch dipping sauce, because there was no way the McDonald&#8217;s spicy buffalo sauce could even come close to the sauce Hooters uses for their spicy, hot, juicy, voluptuous boob&#8230;I mean&#8230;Buffalo wings.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe it was the carbon monoxide from the beat up Volkswagon Golf in front of me in the drive-thru lane that prevented me from changing my mind.

If you use the word &#8220;McNuggets&#8221; to replace the word &#8220;testicles&#8221; in any sentence, people will still understand the sentence.<\/p>\n<p>For example:  <i>The Hamburgler was kicked in the McNuggets by Mayor McCheese, as he tried to steal hamburgers from that big fat purple blob, Grimace.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, I forgot:  <i>Robble!  Robble!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>So I was stuck with the spicy buffalo sauce, which wasn&#8217;t very good.  Just like the voices in my head predicted.  However, if there was something good that came out of this, it would be getting a five-piece Chicken Selects meal instead of the three-piece meal I ordered.  Bonus, baby!<\/p>\n<p>Two more premium-quality, 100 percent white chicken breast meat, seasoned and lightly breaded so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside that I get to dip into a spicy buffalo sauce that I don&#8217;t like.<\/p>\n<p>Thank goodness for universal condiment:  Ketchup.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> McDonald&#8217;s Chicken Selects<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $4.39 (3 pc Value Meal)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  White chicken breast meat.
