McDonald's have brought out a 48-piece McNugget meal



JUST when we thought McDonald's couldn't be any more outrageous, they've introduced what can only be described as a mega meal.

 

McDonald's have brought out a 48-piece McNugget meal: this is not fiction, it's really happened. 

If you devoured this feast all to yourself, the meal alone would provide you with 2000 calories - nearly the recommended daily intake of calories for a woman per day. 

 

But, before the McDonald's-haters start their whinging, the meal is only available in Japan currently. 

A representative for McDonald's UK told NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com there were "no plans" to extend this meal plan out to Britain. Yet. 

 

This McNugget meal will set you back over 2000 calories

 

Can anyone eat 48 nuggets in the real world?

Yahoo! News Japan first reported on the mega meal being served in Niigata Prefecture, on the west coast of Japan’s Honshu island. 

It's said the bucket will set you back 1,800 yen (around £9.70) - but residents will have to move fast if they want to try it out as buckets are limited. At the moment, in the UK you can only buy 20 McNuggets in one meal. 

This isn't the first time Japan's hit headlines for super, super, duper-sizing its McDonald's meals. 

Earlier this year it introduced the Mega Potato, which is essentially two large size fries in one. 

Again, this was a limited run but it proved popular. This is good news for McDonald's who hit headlines only last month claiming the business was 'facing its final days'.

Restaurant owners in the US were said to be worried the chain was in a 'deep depression' and it could mark the end of the business, it was claimed. 

It was revealed franchisees of McDonald's restaurants in the US were worried about the brand's performance after 21 months of poor sales.

The results of the survey - published in the Business Insider UK - reportedly prompted restaurant owners to question the new initiatives recently implemented. 

But a US representative for McDonald's told Express.co.uk: "We’re hearing from customers and the overwhelming majority of our 3,100 franchisees that All Day Breakfast is a hit.

"In fact, since the launch, McDonald’s has reached its highest brand score in two years according to YouGov BrandIndex."
