A woman recently posted on Reddit asking for some help with something for her autistic daughter. Her daughter only eats certain foods, and one of those safe foods is Wendy’s chicken nuggets.
“My daughter (she’s on the spectrum) absolutely loves them, and it’s been tough finding something similar for home. I recently came across two options at our local Costco Business Center: Crescent Brand Breast Nuggets and Tyson White Meat Panko Nuggets.”
“Both look pretty decent, but I was wondering if anyone has tried either of these and how they compare to Wendy’s nuggets in terms of taste, texture, or breading?” she continues.
After the mom has spent thousands of dollars on Wendy’s chicken nuggets and also faced situations where there wasn’t a Wendy’s nearby, she was looking for a nugget that’s very similar to Wendy’s that she could purchase in a store.
This is where it gets interesting: A former Wendy’s employee chimed in and dropped some knowledge that shook the internet.
“I worked at Wendy’s and the boxes of nuggets that are shipped in are just from Tyson. So literally, to replicate our nuggets, buy Tyson nuggets and deep fry them.”
After a few others co-signed on this statement, we hit the internet for some answers. CrueltyFreeInvesting.org confirms that Yum!, the company that owns Wendy’s and other fast-food chains, indeed used Tyson chicken nuggets.
If you are in a similar situation — or are looking to juice up your Super Bowl party — you can buy a few Wendy’s nuggets and save the containers to refill with the Tyson chicken nugget dupes and nobody will know the difference.

Of all of the side hustles country artists could partake in, opening a bar or restaurant is the most fitting — and very common. After all, many of these stars got their start on a barstool, tip jar nearby, playing their music for anyone who would listen.
These places feel like home for many of these singers. Over the years, several artists have gotten into the bar or restaurant game, and for a select few, brands have turned into franchises with several locations and/or concepts — we’re looking at you, Jimmy Buffett!
Let’s take a look at the country star food and entertainment venues that have opened over the years.
