McNugget Calculator
Fun fact: each nugget costs $0.06 to make (excluding overhead). [1] [2]
So even though it's $5 for 20 which seems cheap... it's still only $1.20 in ingredients.

For me the rule of thumb here in SF is: even though I may only want 10 McNuggets, if there's anyone hanging around outside who looks like they'd appreciate some, get the extra 10 (for 2¢/each!) to give away. (It comes in 2 boxes.)
I thought this would be about what quantities of nuggets you need to buy to sum to the target number.
The calculator isn't global friendly :)
Here McNuggets arrives in the following packaging: 4, 5, 9, 12, 24
This makes me happy. I don’t even eat meat but it’s a charming project.
I do a similar cost comparison when eating pizza by determining how much bigger (more square area) the next size up is. If all you have is a non-scientific calculator, the trick was to divide the square of the radius of each pizza (since you are looking for the ratio of area, pi*r^2, and pi drops out). For example, if comparing 16" and 12", you just evaluate 8×8 / 6×6 = 1.7x bigger. Usually cost of the 16" is much lower than 1.7 the 12" so might as well get the larger size (and leftovers are fine).
This is basically the knapsack problem right?
Wow, I wish 40 nuggets cost 10 bucks here. It's $25 CAD ($18.56 USD)
Im upset. Can't use this in Germany. We don't have 4pcs. And 10pcs is a 9pcs over here.
Will use this calculator should McDonald's ever switch back to the original McNugget recipe.

It doesn’t break much when you use the McDelivery prices in Korea: 4: 2100 6: 3600 10: 5100 20: 8200
This would be a nice test assignment for recruiting
It's sad that a brain this bright is being wasted on a McNugget Calculator
aka a calculator
The real question: Why are you eating at McDonalds?
