Now, McDonald's usually has pretty smart commercials. Yes, a tad cheesy, yes, somewhat overly sentimental for super-processed fast food, but almost retro-cool. So their recent attempts to boost sales of their Pigeon McNuggets—er, Chicken McNuggets—by asking people to become "Nuggnuts" was somewhat surprising in its naivete.
Referring to their product as a "nugg" is sketchy at best. Ergo, I'll refer you to the Urban Dictionary (I will do so rarely) for the most widely accepted definition of "nugg."
Nug (noun)
1. A high quality bud of marijuana.
2. The Dank.
3. See ganja.
Ex. "Gayle packed her last nug into the bowl and smoked it on the way to work."
Nug (noun)
1. A small chunk of weed … not a chicken nugget.
Ex. (sic) "yo pack that nug in the bowl so we can toke this shit"
In the sense that smoking a "nug" of an afternoon will give you a craving for "nuggs" (or Funyuns) toot-sweet, then yes, I'd say Ronald is on to something. Still, tho, this is an advertising campaign that Mickey D's may want to rethink somewhat (hell, they already have a FaceBook application and some sort of creepy pledge that you have to take).
"Da, da, da, da, da … Tyrone's lovin' it!"
