FUN FOOD HISTORY ~ DID YOU KNOW:
~ Chicken nuggets were invented by Robert C. Baker, a poultry and food science professor at Cornell University.
~ Before Mr. Baker invented chicken nuggets, he invented a fun food called the chicken stick! Evidently, the guy liked experimenting to find creative ways to eat chicken. He is called the "George Washington Carver of Chicken."
~ In 1981, the McDonald's corporation, affectionately known as Mickey D, officially introduced Chicken McNuggets to their customers. McNuggets comprise about 10 percent of the restaurant’s sales.
~ Mr. Baker did not make a dime from the profits Mickey D earned from sales of Chicken McNuggets. I mean … Really?
